Mrs. Gadabout is type of woman
who has little to do herself and
whose aim appears to be to prevent
Others from accomplishing any more.
calls at unseemly hours are her pet
hobby. Ii she can only catch a room
or person in confusion, then she is
happy, for it furnishes her with a
racy topic of conversation when she
visits other homes.
In a country town she pretends
great friendship, and trading on this
intimacy, generally comes in at the
