you could advise me somewhat as to the
attitude a stenographer or other ONCE
clerk should take when called upon 10
tell deliberate lie./
I work In n very pleasant ONCE
where am treated with all due respect
and courtesy.
I get along very nicely with all those
about me, but many times am asked to
advise callers on the phone OF a condi-
tion or situation entirely untruthful or
Of persons absent for the time being
or perhaps for the whole day. when that
person is seated In the same office where
am, However. Cynthia. truly realize
that such a course Is justifable In the

There are often reasons whv the en-
tire truth may not be told, and In busi-
ness such things as saying that per-
son is absent may be allowable. the
circumstances govern the cases. II an
employe IL asked to lie deliberately
about materials to be sold: for instance
to state that certain goods positively
will not shrink when she knows they
will. she should not tell that untruth, as
that would hurt the one who buys It's
all a matter OF Judgment and common

She Writes to "Westerner"

Dear Cynthia--With your kind per-
mission would like to address my views
to "A Westerner"
Although born and raised In the
vicinity OF Philadelphia, I must say
am Impressed with the ways and Gus
toms Of the people living further west.
For several years I lived In the ex-
treme southwestern part OF Indiana and
as I was young and only married a
year there were many things Tor me 10
learn.
As I had left every one near and dear
10 me. EXCEPT my husband, whose work
took him westward, I found myself
stranger In a strange part of my own
country.
NV accent being entirely different,
only had TO say few words when
some one would say: "oh You're from
the East, aren't your To which ]
replied in the affirmative. This was all
that was needed. They Immediately
tried to make me feel at nome; wv %h'cn 81,
these people proved good friends 10 me
They gave me many pointers on canning
and baking and helped US spend many
pleasant evenings. My own mother
could not have done more for me than
few of these women did.
My opinion is that we live too near TO
the metropolis (New York;, which as
we all know Is our largest and busiest
city, and Philadelphia ranks third.
. In these large cities there Is 80 much
business and so many people there Is
less time 10 think and Ito pass the time
Of day" and with so many people on
the street II Is difficult to remember
faces and distinguish one you have only
seen once or twice. which to a stranger
has tho appearance of coldness. but the
hearts of the people are the same the
world over.
1t does seem rather impoiite for a
man 10 rush in ahead OF women in street
cars and public places. but, then, are the
women any more tired than the man
who possibly has been doing some
! laborious work while the women may
have been sitting at desks or type
writers all day. But disrespect to old
age is objectionable.
wish It were possible for us to have
a good chat for surely do like the
West, but OF course convention makes
this impossible, but do hope you soon
meet some OF our real people who will
make you feel as much at homo In a
big city as we were made to feel in a
much smaller one.

mined to remain single the rest of their
lives. But, In order to avoid the oppro-
brium attached to being ''old maids /"
they decided 10 pose as man and wife

play the role of husband" The male
part fell to Mary East, and the couple
settled in the nelghborhood Of Epping

churchwarden. He" had been named
for the latter office when a woman wnom
Mary East had known in her youthful
days commenced a system OF carefully
ca a.,ulated blackmail which finally re-
suited in a public discovery of "James
How's" sex, but not until after Mary
had kept up the deception FOR thirty
flve years Meanwhile, Mrs. How
had died and Mary East, resuming her
own name, retired to the north OF Eng
land 10 enjoy the substantial fortune
which she had made by posing as a man
during the greater part Of her life.
