Gossip about women as a commodity is in hot
demand. An instance occurred the other day
when three young women fell to discussing
Mrs. George Gould and comparing notes about
her One had seen her when she was summer.
ing near Rye, another stopped at the same hotel
with her up in the Catskills for a week or two,
and the third had seen her at her town house
None of these ladies mad the slightest acauant
with Mrs. Edith Kingdom Gould and their Cos
sip was in no sense malicious, yet they talked
for two hours about the wife of the famous
young millionaire, and covered nearly every
thing conceivable in her physical and
mental makeup. 1t would seem from
tn ir observation that Mrs. Gould
never uses powder in any form. and that hence
her face is somewhat Shiny at times; that she
drives pair in the park with her hands down
just like mana difficult feat for a woman
and that when she lived in Westchester county
she was so fond of yachting that she went
aboard her husbands big schooner every after
noon at O'Clock and waited till he came I'D
from the city, when he rowed out to her from
the shore. Three men would discuss, adjust
and dismiss the Gould family in five minutes,
but when the three pretty gossipers tore them
selves apart from luncheon the other day, it
was with the impression that they had still left
great share of the important information that
they had gained about Mrs. Gould untold.
