SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON Is there anything more oxasperat- ing thag to do something you don’t want to do, because you think some- one else wants to do it, and then to find out afterwards that someone else did not want to do it and only did it because he or she thought you wanted to? . The other afternoon when.a group of five of us had planned to go for a walk a friend called us up and asked if we didn’t want to go out in He had" to make a brief trip and he had room for four people. : As there were five of us each one jmmediately insisted on being the ffth who was not to go. Then someone suggested we decline the invitation and all go. on our projected walk. But Wo Thought He Wo-ld Be Disappointed. ’ “But wouldn’t ‘that hurt Mr. M's feelings and-it was so good of him to ‘ask us?” suggested someone. “And perhaps he would have to go all alone. He said his wife had another engagement,” contributed someone else. ¢§'And we could~go to walk any day.” “And T (the town to which he was going) is such a pretty place.” And So We Went. And so we finally yielded to L’s particular pressing protestations that she be the one to stay home, and | accepted Mr. M’'s kind invitation. Then as' the walk was to have in- cluded a cill on a friend,. we had to make our postponement by telephone. Much to our surprise she took it {ll. having had particular reasons (of which we had no hint) for -wanting us to come that day. And as it was then too late to retract, that injected a decidéd flavor of discomfort into the situation. Anyhow we went, and it was a dold | drive, and’ we didnt get home until after dark. . ..All of this took place a week ‘wgo. ce then I have.become. possessed. the following 'lgm That. all four would mlly Have preferred to walk but each theught the other would like the ride and “each one didh’t want to hurt.
