DOYLE who sgree on a few
points are usually more con—
genial than those who agree
on none. but certainly there is no
resson why disagreement oi opin-
ion seed stand in the way or
triudship or association.
A generation ago there was less
socisl mingling of persona of
divergent political and religious
opinion than there is today. Per-
hsps that was because there was
less disposition to avoid open dis-
cussion of opinions in social gath-
erings thsn there is now. At pres-
ent, the msn or‘women who starts
argument is retarded us
from launching forth in the ex-
pression of opinions that might be
boring or oi'iensive to other guests.
Among the opinions that it is
slwsys best not to launch in a
group of persons with whose opin-
ions you are not familiar are those
relating to religion. divorce and
race prejudices. Three thing's.
