Honesty pays and nowhere more than
IN the relations between husband and
wife. You can fool some Of the people
some of the time, but there is no reason
IN logic or human experience for all the
cant that has been written and spoken
on diplomacy" applied to husbands,
which means How to deceive n hus-
band"
Now, all may or may not be fair in
| love, but the fact remains that deceiv-
ing ones husband does not pay. It Is
no more sensible than systematic lying
to any one else. This is based on moth
Ing more idealistic than the fnct that
you are sure to be found out. The
pitcher goes TO the well once too often,
and tho gullible husband, who has been
taking 1t all In where It was not worth
thinking about, Is some day, when you
least expect II, going to sit up and
take notice. Then for some inconse-
quentinl thing, some little deception
that may have had no reason other
than that you had gotten into the habit,
all your elaborate network of propa-
ganda, all that you have gone against
the grain to build up will tumble down
like a house of cards before the one
thing that counts most--that he cannot
trust you.
Men sometimes seem very credible |;
they are often blind to tricks and ma
cbinations that even to the most broad
minded woman would be patent. It Is
simply tho male Psychology. Their
minds don't run that way. They are
too lazy to bother questioning things
that nre not of great moment to them.
But--make a man the least bit suspi-
cious-especially where the concern is
the woman whose veracity he takes for
grnnted--and he Is a veritable blood
hound on the scent.
Just because a man IL you let him
alone Is not small that way, his resent
ment Is oil the keencr when he dis
covers he has been made fool of.
Married life Is no exception to the
occasional efficacy Of the "whatyou don't
know won't hurt you" theory, and this
is not an arraignment against the
diplomacy which prevents one from
introducing unpleasant topics or avoid
ing the Improbable argument; nor is It
n recommendation Of the wife who
sobs for n half hour on hubby's shoul-
der because she spent ten cents Of hia
hard earned money unnecessarily and
couldn't sleep il she didn't tell him
about il. 1t isn't even q slam at the
wife who keeps her husband away from
sister, because sister can make better
layer cake than she does, but II is an
stand against telling
him that you made the layer cake when
sister brought 1t.
Many Of the things about which a
young wife is melted to lie to her hus-
band are so insignificant that had she
not brought them up he would never
