have gone with some Of the incest
boys in town. They seem 10 like
me very much, but soon quit.
have just found out that some one
is telling them bad things that
have said about them, which | have
not said. Some of the boys come
to me and ask why / have said GER
tain things that | never thought OF
saying. This troubles me a great
deal, as l do care for the friendship
of some of the boys.
What can l do to let them know
l don't say bad things about them,
and how should | treat the one VINO
is telling these things If / find out
who it is? BROKEN-HEARTED.
All of us are inclined to speak in
a derogatory way about some Of
our acquaintance Since there IS
a traitor among your friends you
must be especially careful never to
say anything unkind about any one
else. If your boy friends hear you
say only kind things they will not
be apt to believe what others say
you have said. If questioned, deny
any untruths, but do not make
your denial too strenuous. Your
character should be proof enough.
Do not look for the one who is
telling the stories. If by chance
you find that person be kind and
courteous, but be on your guard.
