True Honesty.

TO be honest is more than to re.
Iain from stealing another mans
purse, more than paying the exact
number or dollars you owe, Honesty
means far more than not defrauding
other people financially. 1t means
nothing less than not defrauding your
self BY your own preiudices and judg-
ments. It means dealing fairly and
squareiy with yourself; looking at
yourself with the same eyes with
which you dissect the conduct of your
associates Clara K. Bayliss.
