The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-08-01

Gossip is the pastime of towards
all over the world, but it is doubtful
if there is any place in the world that
is noted for it as much as Honolulu.
Troubles that can't be estimated have
been caused here time and time again
by the women and men in society
who seem to live for nothing else but
to SANDER their neighbors. When the
Ten Commandments were given to
Moses, one of them was Thou Shalt
Not Bear False Witness Against Thy
Neighbor," but in these advanced days
people do not seem to pay any atten-
ton to this command, which has been
responsible for more trouble than any
of the other nine.
A story is told which is tainted with
untruth in every part, but it goes out
from the wagging tongues of those
who do not think that possibly true
stories of their failures could be told,
and the result is some innocent per
son is made to suffer.
In the East the crusade which has
been started by the Rev Henry Nc
Ilravy against gossip has met with
great favor all over the country, and
it is urged that something like that
the ancient duclling stool will be re-
vived to punish the scandal mougers
who cause unestimated trouble.
Mrs. Philip Weaver, with her
daughter Mrs Sherman Boedefeld,
will sail this week for Honolulu,
where they will make their home for
several years. Mrs. Weaver, who
came up from Hawaii only a few
months ago, was once prominent in
society here, and is a charter member
of one or two Of the most exclusive
women's clubs. She was a member
of the Armstrong family, one of Ho-
nolulu's old missionary families, and
spent her girlhood on the islands,
which were then a monarchy. Her
husband, who died several years ago,
was connected with several of the
civic institutions and reforms in this
| city. Their son, Philip, lives in Ho-
nolulu and another daughter, Mrs.
| Henry Fangle, has her home in New
York. Mrs. Boedefeld will take with
her her little son, Francis-Call.
