WOMEN WHO GOSSIP
THE WORST eossIPs THOSE WHO
TAKE AWAY CHARACTER
Inaccurate Statements of Gossiping
People Make Half the Trouble in the
MorId-They Are Never Sure of
Anything, but Always Ready to Talk.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox recently wrote
a dissertation against the pernicious
family of they say" and surely any
point rejecting on the members of this
family is well taken. When we want
to say something particularly out
rageous and do not desire to involve
any one as responsible, we say, they
say so and so. 1t is a safe way of
slandering and gossiping, if there is a
safe way of doing those evil things.
Leaving entirely out of it the ques-
ton whether women gossip more TIM
men, we can safely say that women
gossip a good deal. There is gossip
and gossip, as we'll as ways and ways
of gossiping, some more evil and rep
rehensible than others. The worst
gossip is the one who does not hest
tate to take a woman'S or a mans
reputation away. There is no excuse
for this-it can hardly be called by SO
light name as gossip. 1t is SANDER
and actionable in court of law.
1t is at times astounding to hear
women take away a persons reputa-
ton as lightly as though they were
talking about the weather. Surely If
they stopped to think what it meant,
and that it is equal to murder, women
would be more careful how they talk
fortunately there are not many vicious
enough to talk in this manner inten-
tionally; sometimes they repeat an
accusation which they have heard
made, and speak of it as a fact with
out knowing whether it is so or not
A woman will say: Il hear that Mrs.
So-and-so smoked a cigarette at the
Smith dinner" another woman who
heard that is likely to repeat it, say
ing: Mrs. So-and-So smoked a cigar
cite at the Smith dinner" and by the
time 1t has been repeated several times
it is quite likely that Mrs. So-and-so
Will be accused of drinking too much
at the Smith dinner. This all comes
from gossiping and from lack of ac-
curacy.
How few women are accurate. A
statue should be raised in a public
square to the accurate woman Half
the dreadful stories come from this
deplorable lack. One woman will ask
another: Did you hear that Mrs
Smith had gone to Rochester," The
other woman will tell the story not
knowing that the first woman meant
Rochester, N. Y, and finally the last
woman who tells it will have Mrs.
Smith in the insane asylum at Roches-
ter, Mimi
That is very mild example of the
dreadful mistakes that have resulted
from feminine inaccuracy. Some
women when they converse seem to
take it for granted that their auditors
are mind readers.
What joy is the woman who gets
ngures right, amounts correct, and
who tells stories straight They are a
rev unfortunate women who seem to
nave positive genius for muddIing
Things up; one can only pity them. but
the inclination to shake them is also
very strong. Women should cultivate
accuracy; there have been fortunes
lost, regulations ruined and lives
spoiled through the terrible inaccu-
racy of women. The fact that women
have adopted professions and gone into
business in late years has helped them
somewhat to overcome this fault, but

the world is still full of vague, uncer-
tain sisters who are not perfectly sure

1t is the inaccurate women who are
likely to say: yes, Mrs. Smith is very
nice, but" and refuse to say any
thing more. These butts" are very
damaging, and should be included in
the they say" family. If one must
gossip, let her confine herself to harm
less talk of others; but taking away
reputation and telling DANA ging sto-
ries, will not be done by any self
respecting woman.

WoMEN'S CLUB GOSSIP.

Instead of holding its regular meeting
yesterday, the Century club will have
an evening meeting tonight at Rama
ley's hall on Grand avenue, when Lewis
Shave will give his Interpretation of
the musical melodrama, "Enoch Ar
den" This is quite an innovation for
the Century club. and will undoubtedly
prove very pleasant change from the
ordinary club programme. Mr. Shave
has given this work before with great
effect as his voice is particularly suit
ed to dramatic rendition. The club will
be out in force and have many guests
as each member is allowed to, invite
two friends. @.'sszS-7

ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERE

Some people seem to lose their taste
IN buying, says an authority in the
world OF interior decoration. They buy
the unlovely because it is new. ,
Every woman likes to have Persian
rugs on her floors, but she would per-
maps not enjoy them so much if she
knew that they were made possible
only by the slavery of other women
Persian rugs are made in Persia under
foreign supervision and then trans
ported at vast expense to this country
only because Mahometan women are
slaves and are satisfied to weave rugs
for about cents a day. A moderately
good Persian rug which brings $50 in
London market could not be made in
Europe, says an authority, for less
than 5000, and the really fine pieces of
work would cost something like $4,000,
prices which no one would pay. For
tunately, however for the British and
American householder, the Persian
woman is still slave. If ever she is
emancipated or raised out of the Ma
hometan abyss to a higher level in
the scale of existence, Persian rugs
will become a thing of the past.
On has no idea of the variety of
beads until one has had a glimpse of
the stockroom of a bead merchant,
says THE Modern Priscilla" Show
cases, counters and bins are piled high
with all manner of baubIes-beads in
bags, boxes, on strings. and in all pat
terms; beads so small they sell by
thousands in tiny boxes: beads as
large as bantam eggs: beads so yolu-
able that their cost exceeds that of
the more common precious stones; ana
as to colors $50 shades are distin-
guished and supplied.
