FROM THE WOMAN IN THE HOUSE,
If I should not talk at all To-day. and to-morrow and the rest of the week, T would undoubtedly spai r e myself and others Much that annoys and irritates— Many faultfindings and misunderstandings, Many causeless forebodings and, in general, all that one is sorry afterwards for having spoken about. And in that way I would also refrain from foolish jesting, And unnecessary questions, And avoid all the. useless chatter that only serves to clutter up the mind. If I could keep the resolution to practise silence To-day, and to-morrow, and for the rest of the week, Tt certainly might be the best thing for everybody, including myself— But it would be very dull, wouldn’t it? —Mary Stewart Cutting. , —Life.
