Speaking OF Idle Gossip

Speaking Of Idle Gossip
This is worth remembering: Idle
gossip is the busiest thing in the
world. 1t can travel many miles
while the subject of the gossip 10
walking around the block, congratu-
lating himself or herself that their
affairs are known to nobody else.
1t isn't the man or the woman who
oeddles the most gossip who have
the best private characters.
Gossip can increase in size with
more success and enthusiasm than
any thing known to science, with the
exception of a panic in a stock mark
ct. A single moutbful of idle gossip
has been known to spread over D
states in a single day, and develop
enough velocity to wreck at least
two homes.
It is n of the most thorough
engines of destruction in use, and
can take a reputation that has been
built up by many years of hard labor,
and reduce it to small, attennate1
shreds in less time than it takes to
put down an umbrella.
1t is said that, "Idle gossip" origin
ated in the Pliocene period, because
that was the first period in which
man land woman) appeared. In the
intervals between being chased into
giant ferns by sabre-toothed lions
or cavern bears, the women of the
Pliocene would remark to each other
ip the same plying manner that
may be observed at any church Sup
per at the present time that Emil
Trichopteris didn't get home until
8 o'clock that morning, and that If
poor wife did what she ought
to do, she would bounce a 50-pound
fragrant of volcanic tuffa on his
head If Emil had come around and
explained that his late arrival had
been due to an encounter with !
hook-tusked mastodon. his words
would have been received in cold
and scornful silence; and careful
mothers would have rushed their
to the protecting shelter
the highest cave in the cliff. Thus
tmils social career was wrecked
md Idle Gossip whistled carelessiy
through its teeth and peered around
or the next victim.
Methods of communications, trans
'ortation systems, clothes, customs,
warfare and religion change from
.ra to era; but idle gossip wears
he same old clothes, does business
n the same old way and gets re-
ults with the same passionate
horoughness that it did when it was
My a youth.
Juniors
The young girls, all about twelve
ears tf age, members of Miss Mil
