Through a Woman's Eyes
"Did They Talk About Me?"
BY JEAN NEWTON

said about her with his pen reminds
me Of the woman who always wants to
know, Ibid she talk about me? What
did she sayf' For every time she
stops. in this busy world Of ours, to
display this morbid curiosity about what
PEOPLE are thinking or saying about
her she lays herself open to this sort
of contempt.
One of the most highly respected
women l know said once to tale
bearer: Really, I am not at all in
terestod in what she said about me.
No one Of US can please everybody in
the world. So just try to do the
right thing-always my best-and then
don't worry about what this one or
that one is thinking or saying"
No ona ever thought this woman
had n guilty conscience or wabhly
self respect. And-no one talked about
her. For you know there is no fun
for anybody in talking about some one
who won't even deign to be curious
about what was said and who doesn't
seem to care.
