Friendship Is Lost by Tale-Bearer BY MARTHA LEE Just on general principles, put it in your pipe and smoke slowly and thoughtfully, that no one thanks another person for telling something unpleasant about someone they love. So often men and women know things about husbands that wives are the last ones in the world to find out. They mull it over in their minds for weeks, trying to decide weather to be the friend who breaks the bad news. Os course their motives are perfectly pure. They just hate to see a woman go on blindly believing in a man who is breaking all the promises of the marriage contract. They just hate to see her being made a fool of, since every one else seems to be in the know. But regardless of the motives, the wives whose friends take it upon themselves to be the bearer of such tales never thank the friends. They resent it. They would rather be considered stupid for not finding it out for themselves. Applies to Children The same thing applies to children. No mother or father thanks their neighbors for bearing talcs about the doings of their children. If there is something that a friend feels should be known by a wife about her husband, a husband about his wife, or parents about their children, the only way they can inform them without permanently offending is to arrange a means whereby the knowledge tnay be obtained so that it appears to be first-hand, not second-hand information.

Dear Mias Lee—l have a very dear friend who has a son. This woman thinks the sun rises and sets In that boy. that he is plu-nerfect. that he can do no wrong. Whenever there Is ttosslD about any of the children of her friends, she lm? mediately points to her son, as the criterion by which all children should so. She brass about him constantly. The Pltv of It is. this toy Is worse than all her friends children out together. He pulls the woll over his mother’s rves. but all the rest of us know what he I S . it Is pathetic and annoying to the rest of us to hear her rave about him. knowing what we do. I am closest to her. All the rest of our friends feel that I should be the one to open her eyes to the real truth about her son. I want to. because I feel she should know, but I do not know lust how to do It. Can you help me? ALSO A MOTHER. Wiser to Be Silent You had best let well enough alone, if you value the friendship of your friends. She never will understand your motive, and she never will forgive you for spoiling her little Utopia. If her son’s actions are such that .she should know, in order to protect him, arrange some way for her to discover the facts for herself. Ie is the only way you can be both informer and friend. The lesson really is this: We are all human, and all subject to faults and errors. It is so much wiser to keep our counsel about those we love, as to their virtues and goodness v T f they are perfect, every one findt*. out anyway. If they are not, and we only think they are, we are not paving a way for public disillusionment. \ Colors Like Gems Jewel-like colors, such as ruby, sapphire, coral and emerald, are holding high places on the latest color chart for evening.
