where a young girl not only lost a
pleasant vacation, but saw the best
opportunity that had come into her
life slip away on the stream of idle
gossip.
One Girls Experience.
We will call her Helen. She was
Is years old and richly endowed by
nature in an attempt to make up
for the absence of fortunes smiles.
When her father@died a few years
ago she secured a, position in a cigar
factory in her home town ip Penn
sylvania and her small earnings
helped the srnother in the support of
the six younger children. Last spring
a wealthy woman of the town be-
came interested in the family and
when she raj planning her summer
outing offered to take the girl with
her as companion and maid, with the
idea of keeping her permanently IL
the arrangement proved satisfactory.
She provided her with a wardrobe
that was modest, but in the best of
taste and suited to the hotel at
which they were to spend the sum-
mer. AS the girl wore no uniform
her position was not generally known
to the other guests. though she al
ways gave a frank explanation when
ever the occasion demanded 1t.
Quickly Becomes Fayorite.
The resort was near a college town,
so, contrary to the usual situation,
the summer boy was in the majority.
Helen's bright face and CHEEKY ways
soon made her a favorite with the
students, several of whom were max
ing their way through college by
working around the hotel. To these
the girls frank statement of her po-
sition. was an added charm.
And then one lady who had a.
daughter about Helen's al and who
therefore took a motherly interest

Ing Helen. The gossip soon reached
the ears of Helen's mistress, who
proceeded to show the girl her error.
Helen, who was unaccustomed to
summer hotels and was just as happy
as any debutant over her first sea-
sons popularity, persisted that she
had lone no wrong. She took carc
not to repeat the offenses pointed
out by her mistress, but being un-
tutored in the ways of the world
she committed new errors. And
every time she offended Madame
Grundy the gossip was at hand
ready to do her worst.

Father Complained.

Four boys were each held in $1,000
bail by Judge Herr in the Fourth
Precinct Court today, charged with

berries in the hill section" within the

Eleventh street; George Wentz, IL
years old, of 541 Bergen street; Henry
Renner, 20 years old. Of 63s South
Fourteenth street, and Joseph. Sum-
mer, IT years old, of $50 Eighteenth
avenue. Each was held in $500 bail
on four separate counts.
The boys were rounded up through
an alleged confession by Grodsky.
He was arrested on Sunday night on

pealed to the police to prevent his
son from staying out nights. When
he was questioned by Acting Captain
McGovern. it is said that he admitted
having been responsible for several

from her one by one. In a
of disappointmentsshe remarked thai
she might as well be back in the fac
tory. The mistress was naturally
nervous and had become greatly an
noyed by having her party the SUBJ
| ject of so much gossip.
She agreed that it would be wise for
all concerned IL her charge were to
return home. The next morning Helen
said goodby to her young friends,
took a last look at the lake which she
had enjoyed so much, and boarded
the train for Pennsylvania. OF course
the gossip was at the station to re-
port Helen's farewell words and TO
comfort the mistress, who was gem
timely sorry to part with her COM
panion, with her belief that the girl
would be much safer where her
mother could look after her.
Made the Victim.
And Helen's only offense was an
Ignorance of the world into which
she had been so suddenly ushered.
The other guests had but two or
three weeks into which to crowd all
the pleasures Of the lax resort and
we're far too busy to interest them
selves in playing the ~chaperone to
the little girl from Pennsylvania.
Only the gossip who lacked occupa-
,tion both summer and winter found
time to look after her welfare for the
good of the community at large.
History Of the Gossip.
If you will trace the history of the
gossip you will generally find thai the
kindergarten is in the home. AS a
child the gossip was encouraged to
repeat everything she learned from
the n~eighbors' children. The affairs
of the various members of the COM
.munity were the topics of conversa-
ton at each meal, and if the child
eouldsadd any sidelight to the events
chronicled she felt herself a public
b~enefactor. Haven't you been In
homes where just these conditions
existed?
The Society for the Suppression or
Surreptitious SANDER should be fed
Grated with all humane societies, for
what is more humane than the pre-
vention of something that never,
never did anyone any good, but often,
often did many people a great deal
of harm? Why don't you form such
a club, ladies, and some of you men?
If you can't recruit members who
are honest enough to admit that they
need improvement in that line. why
lust be an exclusive club of me-.
Every time you are about to repeat
to Mrs. X some gossip about Mrs.
Y shut your mouth firmly. HE you to
your little desk and In a Ieather-cover
book make a note of Victory one"
At the end of a week scan the leaves
of said little book and see just what
proportion of your daily conversation
is gossip pure and simple.
If you not only stop repeating Cos
sip,3 put remain silent when your
friends are recounting some scandal
the story will lose its point, the mar
rators will begin to wonder what has
happened to chill the atmosphere and
they, too, will fall in line. Just think
of all the good your club of one can
do. It's worth trying, isn't 1t?
