Evil in Small Talk.

There’s enough small talk with its vicious Insinuations In every Idle group to make candidates for the madhouse. * _ • What men say causes other men to think. What men think determines their conduct Given the suggestion that you are crasy the chances are that you will either resent it strenuously or begin to act a little queer. And then one of your professed friends will come along and confide to you that you are acting a little queer. It’s no wonder some folks go daffy. Little yarns without foundation keep stirring up things that even the angels could not keep straight. So the only remedy is to apply the censor. Let folks talk. Take out the good and let the res* go where It beliongs.
