came downstairs the family were
all at breakfast-all but Alice,

Ann Marie knew they had been
talking about her. She knew by
the sudden silence among them
when she walked into the room.
She sat down beside Stella and
picked up her glass OF grapefruit
juice.
Il told them you're going"
Stella said to her in a quick aside.
Il just finished telling them"
Ann Marie looked at her father.
Stella told you I'm going?" she
asked him. and before he could
answer she went on:
Il thought ! might as we'll
take the plunge now as any other

patting him lips with his napkin,
"but now that Howdy's helping

Ann Marie threw them to her.
She loved the beads. They were
the color of the deep blue sea

only on state occasions, because
she was afraid OF losing or break

She didn't want to give them

Ann Marie stared at her. She
knew that she had been thinking
the very thing all along that Mrs.
Leezy had just put into sharp
wordS-that Neal was trying to
get rid Of her. She had been half
afraid that that was what he was
doing ever since his telephone call
of yesterday.
Il don't want my coffee,

handed her a steaming cup.
She set it down, got up from the

TOLERANCE

Respect for the convictions 81

into your head once you set out
to define tolera ance--to express the

But tolerance goes farther than
this: in addition to the right
intellectually granted others to
hold views radically opposed to
our own, 1t carries also sense
Of willingness that those others
be allowed to retain those views
intact, uninfIuenced and un
changed by our own!
The dominant quality OF nearly
every human being Is eSotism.
This is Inevitable and natural,
since egotism Is no more than
expression Of individuality-often

But egotism, nevertheless, sees
itself as right and that which
differs from 1t as needing ~ no
put straight. Very seldom has 1t
sufficient confidence in truth that
1t can trust truth to win its own
way by intrinsic worth.
Egotism feels called upon to
make things over, TO fashion a
better, more reasonable and sd
mirable creation. And this is the
reason why. though It may ha
civilized to point where il al
lows the right OF free thought
to others. It also insists that this
