Truth-tellers


The little girl evidently appreciated the fact that all men and women

are liars, for _Punch_ records the following as the dialogue between her

and her mother when she had been caught in a fib:



_Mother:_ "It is very naughty to tell untruths, Kitty. Those who do so,

never go to heaven."



_Kitty:_ "Don't you ever tell an untruth, Mummy?"



_Mother:_ "No, dear--never."



_Kitty:_ "Well, you'll be fearfully lonely, won't you, with only George

Washington?"
