BY FRANCES sH.FFER.

A long while ago woman, lightly and
without much thought or care, repeated
| a little incident concerning an acquaint-
ance. It was commented upon among
the listeners, left a disagreeable flavor
for time, then supposedly was quite
forgotten. The acquaintance moved
away, and even her name almost dropped
from memory.
But yesterday one of the listeners of
long ago met her, and the only thing
that flashed to mind was that one I'M

ment of idle gossip.

thought of the poison We were dealing

Many real offenders in the little ways
