The hardest part of such injurious gossip is, that the tale, or insinuation, or whatever it may be, emanates generally from among the victims own familiar friends; some one who often has no realization of the harm she-for, alack, it is often a woman-has done, but not infrequently also rather en- joys the situation.

 lly poison" when belonging to a social mischief maker.
