 BECKLEY
A Mans Loyalty.

Dear Old Matey: Your Walt had an interesting but trying session last night at truth telling. It was trying. not because I find it harder to tell the truth than the average man, but because the truth is not only a mat ter of telling but of understanding as well. So often one tells the truth and has it misunderstood for the grossest untruth. For instance
 My Aunt Martha passed through the city this week. You remember my speaking of her--a well-to-do, funny little maiden aunt who had no small part in my bringing up; a whimsical, sentimental little lady, whom life has not touched hard, either With sorrows or joys. I had not seen her since I left college, but she has always kept up with every thing that concerns me. When I came into her room at the hotel where she is stopping, her first ques- tion was:
 Are you and Janet perfectly hap py with each other?'
 T had not the slightest intention of parrying her question. If she had asked me merely, Are you happy with each other?" I should shout, "YES!' But she had laid so much emphasis on the perfectly" and seemed so to demand the perfectly conventional rhapsody on my part that l baked.
 What do you mean by perfect ly?'" I asked
 T mean is there always perfect love, perfect understanding, perfect harmony between you two," she said 'Is there 2"
 "Of course not!' I said indignantly. What do you take us for-two nonent1tles? Of course there are moments when I could swear at Janet, though I don't do it. Of course there are times when we don't understand each other.'
 Then you are not happy together" Aunt Martha said, shaking her head and her finger.
 Well, Aunt Martha" I argued, If

In My Finishing School.

If l were conducting a finishing school for young ladies (which Heaven fOrbid) l know of one coursc I should surely include-a course in social conversation.
 We had French conversation in college, but We didn't have English conversation, and am sure there were a great many or us who would have been more benefited by the latter.
 Tn my course I'd have a lesson on what to say in the line of small talk to casual acquaintance. And an- other on what to say when congratu. 1ations and condolences are called for,
 And another-and hereby hangs my tale today-on how to speak enthus- iastically.
 A neighbor of mine showed group of us her new hat the other day. She Couldn't Afford to Buy Another.
 It was not particularly becoming, but she had bought it,. she couldn t return it, and she couldn't afford to buy another.
 This is what those women said;
 The first: "That's a pretty orna- ment on it, isn't it?''
 The second Ca relative): "Yes, it's nice hat but I've seen hats I liked better on you"
 The third: "Wouldn't it look better if you turned it around?" After try ing that out NO, I guess it looks 1 better the way it is.'' The fourth: "That's aWfully pretty
