The story Of the fox and the crow
Is one of the best known OF Aesops
fables. A crow having stolen q bit OF
meat, fox spoke TO the crow thus:
How handsome you arel And have
heard that the beauty of your voice is
equal 10 that Of your form and feathers.

may Judge whether this ID true?" The
crow was so pleased that she opened
her mouth 10 sing and dropped the
meat, which the fox Immediately ate.
From ancient times II was known
how human beings fall for dattery.

Il II A Sincere Hatef

Girls are so fond OF their little wars.
When they're In high school they have
daily souahbies. and when they're step
ping out to their first dances, they set
Tie down to weekly arguments, ana
after while they just have private
little gossip tests In which they tell
each other: MY dear, simply hate
that girl. She isn't cit all the sort OF
person any nice girl ought to go with.
BY far the least dangerous OF the
various types of warfare Is the open
battle. 1t clears things up so nicely,
gets both people back on speaking
terms again inside OF an hour and does
no harm to any one.
The suppertitious whispering business
is much more harmful. That leaos
TO all sorts OF complications because
its more subtle.
The modern girl with ell her weapons
of defense doesn't seem 10 60 In for
open battle any more. She contents
herself with waging under-cover war
fare She becomes simply furious with
Jennie over some crime the latter has
committed. but she doesn't 90 TO Jennie
with the news.
Instead of that she goes to Jennie's
friends. She says. Il think ought to
tell YOU that Jennie isn't the kind we
ought to run around with. I have IT
on very good authority that And
there follows q horrible tale of scandal.
The other girls may or may not be
shocked. Usually they're willing 70
listen, and fairly willing 10 believe.
They shake their heads, and maybe one
of two OF them remember 10 be little
bit cool with Jennie when they meet
her. Certainly they all remember TO
repeat the story To families and friends.
Now. the orgininal tale-bearer. II she
Is clever, can do Jennie lot OF harm.
She can spread stories and make revela-
tions Of Jennie's weaknesses In q
fashion that Will make things decidedly
hot for her opponent.
And having accomplished her object
In life having cooked her enefnys
goose. Is she content? No. she isn't.
That's where the trouble comes In.
For she meets Jennie on the street
one day and they have talk. it
develops that she had misunderstood
Jennie. The quarrel Ii settled then and
there. The two girls have tea together
and make b date To meet for lunch.
And now the wretcl1ed tale-bearer
has rotten time. You zee she hasn't
the nerve to 90 To Ill her friends with

Altogether she has q rotten time, and
probably succeeds In losing friends right

campaign.

that you consult physician about 1t.
There are ways of removing these hairs
