bit of social or moral carriOn.
Gossip is mean, because it helps
to Give currency to rumOrs which
are often both false and pernicious.
Many of us aid in circulating rum
OrS without intending any harm.
No truer words were ever spoken
than those of Thomas Hood; Evil
is wrought by want of thought as
we'll as want Of heart
Gossip is mean, because it IS
cowardly. 1t takes refuge in vague
phrases They say, I hesrd, 1t is
rumored, There is a report. While
thus giving currency to the rumor,
it shifts the responsibility to an im-
personal somebody, who can never
be overtaken or identified.
Gossip is mean, because it ap-
pears to take especial delight in in
sinuating about the character of
women. We men can take care of
ourselves, but a woman, and espec
tally a young girl, is peculiarly de-
fenseIeSs against certain kinds of
gossip,
When you hear gossip that calls
character in question, insist on hav-
ine the evidence. Be satisfied
with nothing less than proof This
is only doing unto others as you
would that they should do unto you
and unto the members of your
family
