THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
4 Plea for q c. NJ. W. F.
BY JEAN NEWTON

There would be no use in sidestepping
the issue. I am frank to say that this
is an out-and out llnequivocal stand
for a G. M. W. F. Crusade Against
the Misuse Of the Word FRANKLY
II am SO frank" says the woman
who is perennially bull in the china
shop, always treading on your toes and
in some way embarrassing you simply
by her lack Of refinement and tact.
Unfortunately, some one at some time
told her she was "very frank; and
conscious In q vague way of her short :
coming, she was quick to satisfy herself
and cloak her frequent Consciousness
with the much abused term. And where
ignorance Is bliss it is a case of more
to be pitied" than anything else.
I'm so frank says the woman who
grinds her axes on its altar. Under
the guise of frankness she delivers her
self Of viciousness and spite, using the
word as q sugar coating for the bitter
pills It seems to be her life work to make
us swallow. And it ought to be stopped.
Why Is 1t that her "frankness,
never by any chance, results In making
any one feel good? Why is It that in :
variably It is a disagreeable word OF
deed that she offers in its holy name
Never, by any means, does hei
"frankness" prompt her to say that you
are indeed pretty, or that you can play
But she would never forgive herself II
she neglected to make 1t plain to you
that my dear, you cannot sing" And
though you knew It was just tin!
little voice that you had delighted in
her thrust effectually silenced 1t.
Never in a thousand years would she
tell you that your hat is just the thine
to bring out the blue in your eyes. Blu,
frankness compels her to say Of tht

through small hole in the partition.
Also, through this hole. she saw the Of

Waiting until the train approached
Antwerp, Angelica told her story to the
