FAHsr FsRs, in her new work, Rose CLARK. thus
describes character seldom found In boarding
house:
Gertrude was as unlike other women In the dis.
like of gossip, as In various other items, we might
name. Provided she was not intereredwith, IL mat.
tered nothing to her who occupied the rooms about
her. II Ia only the empty minded who having no
resources of their own, busy themselves with the
affairs Of their neighbors. 1t was unaccountable
TO her how the number Of another woman's dress
es or bonnets, the hours and the places in which
abe promenaded, the visters she had or refused to
have; her hours for rising, eating and retiring or
the exact state of her finances could DO matters Of
such interest. Living contentedly ina world of
her own--shs had neither time nor inclination for
such petty researches:
This iss woman offs thousand Why are there
are not more like herr Why do 20 many women,
merely because they live In clearinghouse, pass
their lives In senseless gossip and idle tittetattle
s'ohi Reform It all altogether
