thev are doing. no matter how chartaby, Is gossip and to be avoided.
Myself i can't see 1T that way.
PeopIa are much the most interesting things on earth, and the peo-
pie you knew the most interesting Of the most Interesting II you 90
M sneak III natuTedly why should 1T be thought undesirable to talk
about them?
One If the los pleasing persons to talk to whom I have ever
known is a woman who taught herself to observe everything new and
pick nm every possible bit IL Information to interest her bedr1dden
mother. The little mother died years ago, but the daughter las never
lostt the habit. and to talk with her is to hear a witty but always kindly
chronicle of the news of the ndghbofhood.
EVERYONE knows folks like her who ire always briming with news,
and everyone knows other people who never have ANYTHING Interesting
to relate, WHIT never even notice that a new mouse Is gong up IN their
neighborhood or that q new family have moved onto their street until
some more observing person tells them.
And whatever anyone else may think I TO- my my part prefer IN e
gossip. / quote the word because / mean It In the kindly ens OF
news gatherer, and. not the harsh sense In which the author man wife
used 1T and which 1T usually carries
j believe it is everyones duty to be e interesting IS he can, and
that those who keep their eyes and ears open and are generous with the
fruits of their observation fulfill that duty.
Jane Austen has a splendid description of the right kind II gossip
May / add my feeble note of commendation1 to hers
"She Nurse Rourke in Persuasion) is a shrewd, intelligent, senst-
bic woman. Hers is q line for seeing human nature and she has q fund IND
of good sense and observation, which as a companion, make her lnhn1tc-
1y superior to thousands who, having only received the hest educaIon
In the world, know nothing wo-th abiding to. Call 1T gossip IL you viii,
but when Nurse Rourke mas half al hours leisure to bestows O me, she
is sure to have something interesting to relate, something that is enter
tanning and profitable; something that makes n know ones species
better. One likes to know what Is going on, to be au fat' to the newest
modes of living. TO me-, who lives 10 much alone, her conversation as

Nearly all vegetables, fruits and
meats may be served as salads The
essential thing Is to have the salad
fresh and cold and II green to have
the leaves dry and crisp. II any water
is left on leaves the dressing will moi
adhere to them. but Will run to the
bottom of the dish, and both the salad
and the dressing will be poor.
Olive oil, the dressing par excellence
Of a salad. is a form OF fat that. eaten
in moderation, agrees with almost
every n Its use gives strength and
suppleness." The dressing is added
only at the moment OF serving, as ths
salad Wits II allowed to stand after the
dressing is added. Never make salad
dressing In a hurry. Have the mate
rails very cold and mix them In q COO
place.
The remains of roast chicken, fish,
veal and many vegetables OF many
kinds are excellent for utilizing for
salads. Meat OF any kind used for
salads should be cut into dice. but moi
smaller than half an inch, or 1t Will
seem like hash. 1t should be mari
naded before being mixed with the
other parts Of the salad To mari
made take Z part Of oil md three
parts OF vinegar, with salt and peppe1
to taste. stir them into the meat and
let It stand for a couple Of hours; dralh
on any OF the marinade which has not
been absorbed before combining the
meat with the other parts Of the salad
Use only enough marinade to season
