No person whether In authority or not has & right to ask anyone else questions ° from which she cannot expect anything less than “white lles” in reply to her question At first the “white lles" may be spoken with a sense of shame, a fear that the subterfuge may be found out. We hardly Itke to meet the person again for a few days. But one untruth, even the mildest of “white lles" will need another to jus: tify it, and the first “white lle” demands another to support it, and while the first was uttered with fear and misgiving, the others that follow become easier to ut- ter, untll at last there is no difficulty at all in using a ‘“white lie." Among my old friends there are women who In theory would never descend to A lle, but who have become unconsciously #o addioted to the telling of “‘white lies" that they use them at all tim and woasons. Once I had been invited to take tea with a friend. She lived at some dis- tance from my home, a long two miles lay between our houses. I reached her house at 430 to find it empty and my friend apparently out, Knowing her fancy for long country walks I made my way into the garden and walted for half an hour, and then returned home feeling rather cross at having had my walk for nothing. The next day she came and reproached me for having dis- appointed her. She had been resting and had not heard my knock. Why hadn't T opened the door and walked In?

Such folks are bound to suffer, and much of the time are, con- sequently, unloving and uniovable, When you are aware you have a stom- ach you are given to introspection, and Introspection means misery. And misery is contaglous. Also, I might add, that happiness is not only contagious hut infectious. Joy runs over and Inundates every- thing.
