Gossip and Scandal.

Many people confuse gossip with
scandal, but the two things are quite
different. The scandalmonger is usu-
ally detested while the gossip is often
universally popular. In fact, the popu-
larity which 1t brings in its train is
one Of the strongest incentives to Cos
sip. A really accomplished gossip Is
social acquisition. Thousands of peo-
pie who do not gossip themselves like
to listen to it. 1t saves them the trou-
Bile Of talking. The gossip is general
ly good natured. The scandalmonger
seldom is. After all, what is more in
teresting than human nature? That is
the stock in trade of the gossip, as it
