MUTISME
az DR.. FRANK ckANE
Copyright. 1915. b. Frank Crane,

Mutisme is French word. and MIGHT
oe translated "tongue-tiedness but the
two terms have not exactly the same
meaning
MutiSme implies an aversion TO talk
II signifies that inward stubborness
which leads one 10 90 ON in misunder.
standing, 10 keep up strained relation.
TO persist in dumb suspicion and hostil-
ty rather than talk it out and have it
over.
1t is responsible for no end of trouble
that might easily be avoided.
There is no deeper way you can offend
A person of sense than to say: "Oh.
what's the good Of talking about il? 1t
rs no use. You cannot possibly under
stand.
And have you not had this experience,
that alternating clouds have gathered be-
tween you and another, the situation be-
coming constantly more unpleasant, and
one day you met and spoke freely, and
said each your full say, and discovered
that after all YOU were not enemies?
MutiSme splits many a happy home.
The young married couple that fall into
proud silence when they disagree speed
lily drift apart
everything And hateful thoughts by
a strange peryerSion in our natures, are
so much more readily imputed than
thoughts of love.
Many little difference. Of taste or OF
conviction, might have been quickly ad-
uSted at first by a frank and unreserved
conference; but when two retreat into
silence the little rift widens into an
lh nd bat arp
locked in hostile camps.
One OF the saddeSt things TO see is
the growing apart of parent and child.
In almost every instance it is due to the
fact that they are not in the habit of
talking things over Each fears to un-
bend. What begins rs sensitive reserve
ends in harshneSs on one side and sur
lness on the other.
Often it takes tragedy TO break
down the wall between father and son.
mother and daughter, a wall built by
foolish silence.
Any lawyer Of long practice will tell
YOU that the expense and worry of end
less litigation might usually be avoided
could the parties but get together, lis
Ten patiently. talk candidly and seek
some satisfactory compromise.
So if you will kill your enemy go and
see him
Don't introduce me to that man"

cal duty 60 hate him, and YOU can't hate
man when you know him."
If YOU fall out with brother. John
Wesley advised his followers, go to him
at once and east the fire out of your
bosom"
Mutisme is a slow, inward fire.
II keeps grudges hot
| II burns up friendship and preserves
enmity.
II embitterS love.
Talk il over,
OF course. there is such thing IA
talking too much, talking at the time
when you should be still and saying the
wrong thing.
But YOU can also eat too much, eat
when YOU should not, and eat food that
is not good for you.
Yet. for all that, eating is mighty
good and essential
And so is talking it over.
