/ even our intimates believe us to be all

! In fact do you not think that by striy-
ing hard enough one may actually
change ones very thoughts? This in
itself Is fortunate. II a certain standard

up to II than II nothing Is expected or

In an ideal future existence we may

selves and with others. Then there will
be no cloaking nor assembling OF our

is in danger of being considered extreme
eccentric Her life is bound to be series
of misundersts ndings.
Few Of us will recognize the plain, un-
vanished truth when we are face to face
with IT,
The most truthful girl I know Is also
the most unpopular. She is painfully,
brutally truthful.
1t is one thing to avoid injuring an
other persons feelings by a harmless
evasion and quite another TO tell n de-
liberate cruel, needless falsehood The
latter is unforgivable; the former quite
to be condoned at times.
Do you not agree with me?
1f you possess n puritanical conscience,
dilute IT with little tact. Tact and cour-
tesy go hand in hand for real courtesy
comes not so much from a cut-and-dried
knowledge of the conventions rs from a
kind heart. The girl who possesses these
qualities is never unpopular-nor does
she worry about the reputation others
will give her.
