The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEG

Gossip. of course, is despicable.
We are brought up to know that, ou'
just the same, we all gossip.
Those of us who are well bred, or live
up to our breeding, don't gossip.
Those of US who gossip maliciouS'y
act in an f'f-bred manner, whether q
not we are I'll bred.
So If most Of US are bound 70 gossip
that IS. to pass along interesting bits
OF news about our friends and neighbors
let US be careful where we gossip.
Really, the news in the newspapers
and the contents Of books of memoirs
and biography, are nothing more mol
less than gossip.
So long as cur gossip is not mali
clous 1t need not be entirely condemned
for there is a deep-seated desire in
msn to gather and pass on news Of all
kinds.
One place not to gossip is over the
telephone.
Don't ever talk about your neighbors
by phone, because Of the chance that
somebody else might be Hstening-even
4 what you are saying is entirely pleas
1850 ever gossip in train or trolley
car. It is necessary to raise the voice
10 make it heard in a train or car, and
others might overhear what you said.
Again. though that might be entirely
pleasant, you would not want to be
quoted by some one who overheard you.
Don't gossip on a postal card.
Don't gossip with servants.
Don't gossip with children.
Don't gossip across the back fence.
Indeed, the whole thing comes down
/ to this:
y II you must gossip-and most Of us
o-gossip in the place and time con
ntionally given over to conversation.

And this made the Golden Goose feel
more comfortable and she scrambled back
upon the log and nestled up close to
little Puss Junior.
But whom have we here?" asked the
little old man, looking at Puss with a
kindly smile.
"Puss in Boots Junior" replied our
little hero, with bow.
"You are like your father" said the

Well, after Puss Junior left the pond
over which the white duck had so kind
~ carried him, our little traveller came
to a forest, where sat a Golden Goose
upon a log.
Pray, excuse me If I don't shake
hands with you" said the beautiful
bird, rising and tapping her golden
wings, but the truth is whoever touches
me can never withdraw his hand"
WHAT exclaimed Puss Junior, sur
prised.

Goose. did you never read the fairy

little gray man. He had the finest
whiskers ever saw on "a cat, and yours
are just like his" and of course this
pleased Puss Junior immensely.
"But, come" continued the little gray
man, might will soon be here. I can
offer you a nights lodging and good
supper, for he who travels hard by day
must eat and sleep by night" and with
these words the little old man arose and
led our two small friends into the for
est. and by and by they came to small
hut.
HE is a good man and will not harm
you" whispered the Golden Goose, and

"Oh, / remember now" said Puss,
though it is a long time since I read
