II there is one despicable practice
| among human beings it is that Of tn
diligence in harmful idle talk: often
the evil gossip Of one with another
about the affairs Of a third. Baneful
| though 1t be. 1t is freely exercised by
men and women generally. No good
comes Of 1t. 1t bears nothing but harm
It is the destroyer of peace and happi-
ness.
It has been the custom since time
began for humorists in particular. to
charge that women are the most flag
rant gossipers; that what one OF them
knows they all know within an inesti-
mably short space Of time; that it is
their peculiar delight and province. al
most. to tell tales about their neigh
bors and their friends as fast as they
hear them, or as fast as they can man
ufacture them in the event Of there be-
ing a dearth of material on hand.
1t Is certain that women do their
share of this sort Of thing, but men are
indeed not much behind the women in
this respect. They indulge in the ped
ding Of stories about their acQuaint-
ances quite as extensively as do wo-
men, and, perhaps. with a little less
regard for the proprieties.
Many a mans character and many
a woman's reputation has been unwar-
rantedly ruined by triiing talk. But
there are two kinds Of gossip. The
gossip that relates to the real doings
and sayings Of friends and acquaint-
ances is one which Is harmless and
forms interesting subjects for con-
versation. And then there Is the other
kind. the harmful kind. that consists
Of wrong but plausible conclusions that
are drawn Of other persons acts and
which soon take on the form OF story
about them. Told from mouth to mouth
1t grows in details finally reaching pro-
portions that make it alarming, doing
great injustice.
1t is just this sort of talk and gossip
from which people should refrain. It Is a
gain of nothing but possible moments
citation, interesting but injurious.
With the arrival Of the millennium it
is not probable that people will cease
to gossip. 1t seems inherent. It should
be the effort. however. to engage only
in such gossip as is harmless and to
refrain from scattering the talk which
is purely idle, often vicious and fire.
quently malicious. The chronic gossip
err should remember the admonition Of
Proverbs that ''he that openeth wide
his lips shall have destruction"
