" SHE'LL UNDERSTAND. !"
BY Ruth Cameron.

returned ydcatiOniSt was writing a
half dozen thank notes to as many friends
who had contributed toward making her
vacation successful
She did not have time to write the
notes all at once. so she glanced over
the list and said: I'll leave Elaine's
until next week. OF course. she did more
for me than any one. but she's such an
old friend that she'll understand and for
give me. l must surely write Mrs. r.
and Mrs. S. tonight or they'll think I'm
terribly negligent
Now isn't that a typical decisiono
And is it not rather queer philosophy
which makes the ma jority of us inclined
to treat those We love the most with the
least consideration and courtesy?
FOR strangers and for the most formal
acquaintance we keep our finest clothes.
our best manners and our most careful
courteses. Our close friends must put
up with our second or third best And
as Tor our very nearest and dearest-Why
anything at all will do for them.
A neighbor of mine is expecting a
simultaneous visit from two women. One
woman is her dearest and oldest friend
the other is comparative stranger whom
she has met but half a dozen times and
has two guest rooms. That is one is a
genuine guest room, Il large. beautiful
chamber. daintily and luxuriously APP
pointed; the other is a little hall ROOM a
cross between a sewing room and a
nursery, which is occasionally cleaned up
and turned into guest room when stress
of circumstances demands it.
Now which of these two rooms do you
think is to be given to the lifelong friend
the woman who has been as dear as a
sister TO my neighbour, and which is to be
given to the stranger who means almost
nothing to her?
OF course you know the answer. The
dearly loved friend is to be tucked away
in that hybrid nursery-sewing room, be-
cause shell understand" and the I'M
loved stranger is to be installed in the
luxurious guest room.
"Well, what on earth would you do?"
1 can hear some indignant reader ex-
claim, Surely You wouldn't put that
strange woman into the little room and
let her think you didn't have anything
better?'
Calm yourself my friend while / freely
admit that | would probab do just as
my ne;ghbor is going to. Being human
and a woman l suppose l should feel the
imperative necessity of showing off my
guest room to the stranger.
But that only means that l am illogical,
not that that would be logical.
Friends are wonderful things, probably
the most wonderful things in the world.
While acquaintance, at best, are only
potential friends So let's remember that
'.she'n understand is a very feeble justi-
fication for sighting our friends. and
one that may easily be overWorled.
