One Of the most common habits that
Is neprehensible Is that OF discussing
personal Affairs In public. They may
be your own affairs or they may be
matters that concern others. At any
rate. they should not be discussed In
the hearing OF strangers.
The Withholding Of names Il no ex.
cuse. Very frequently a listener has
been able to follow a conversation and
to know perfectly the ones under dis
cussiOn- Women who have the habit
OF talking I'm this way In public seem
to think that no one knows anything
but themselves.
Street cars. railroad trains, elevators.
restaurants and the promenade where
there are crowds are places where the
conversation should be restrained.
Keep your gossip II you must indulge
In this evil practice for your own
home.
Even then It will probably be repeat
ed with a different accent and given
a different Interpretation. Generally
speaking, gossip brings a punishment
on the one who Is responsible for Il
as well as working incalculable harm.
