PEAR JANE JORDAN—| I have moved into a | small town where I had to take a furnished apartment in a house with the owner.

The child got a D because this teacher refused to let her make up her work, stating she nad it on good authority she wasn’t in bed. Incidentally we were forced to have the appendix removed the following | term. Next I got sick and she | sent a patient of my doctor's over to find out what ailing me.

Answer—Don't think for a minute | vou are making a martyr of your- | self in disregarding malicious gossip. The only way you can fight it is to be quietly superior to it. The! effort to deny obvious lies only gives | them an importance which they do deserve. If it were possible to the old ladv by giving her a good dressing down it would be the do, a quarrel only her something real distort and exaggerate whereas now she has to invent het What fun she wold have and how helpless | would be to curb her colorful | tongue!

The only comforting thing about it is that “the truth itself is not believed bv one who often has deceived.” Only those of her ilk will be taken in by her yarns.
