A Hint to the Wise.

10 try to carry on any sort of light
conversation or small talk with our
friends and never indulge in discussion
or EEomments on mutual friends is
something almost impossible to do.
WGssimply can't discuss the weather
all ;the time. The only solution to the
question is to make ourselves certain
rather definite rules limiting our gos-
sip, for we might as we'll admit that
every one who has a normal interest In
his fellows enjoys some sort of gossip.
Here is one of the first rules: Never
recount anything of personal nature
that you have learned about another
person as that persons guest. This is
the first and most important rule bind
ing host and guest. Yet good many
people addicted to the less desirable
sort of gossip get good many Of their
choicest bits" when sheltered under
another persons roof.
Never recount anything that you
have learned from a servant or from
any one employed in the home of an
other person. Seamstresses and wo-
men who go about doing various sorts
Of hairdrcssing and massage eaoften be-
come neighborhood plaques because Of
the, fund of gossip that they have de-
rived in the 'houseSs0f the persons they
work for. In the first place, the we'll
bred person does not listen to this sort
of gossip. 1t is always possible to re-
fuse to hear personalities. But if you
have listened dontt show yourself
doubly ill-brcd by recounting it to an
other. !
There are certain. legitimate channels
for learning interesting things about
your friends and neighbors. and such
bits of information are usually Of the
pleasantest sort and only add to friend
liness in repeating What we learn
through the channels of usual social
intercourse what we observe in club
and society is usually quite harmless.
But when it comes to noting our
neighbors washing hung out on Mon
day, when We sit behind drawn cur
tains watching to see how often GER
tain callers step up their front porch
or how often the doctor comes when
there is illness in the family, then we
are taking unfair means.
1t really is perfectly possible to divide
what we know about our friends rcla-
tiycs and acquaintahces into two very
distinct categories, that which we keep
in confidence and that which we may
feel free to mention to others. Women
sometimes say that they are unable to
make these distinctions, and that IN
spite of themselves they recount Sc
crcts and condolences If they know
them. 80 -
Just imagine what world we would
live in if every one was constituted IN
the same way. Suppose the lawyer
told everything he knew about his cll-
ent, or ran the risk Of telling every
time you mentioned the client to him.
Suppose the doctor told all that he
learned in his inner office, or the priest
or the clergyman in the sanctum OF his
study or the confessional. These peo-
ple actually acquire the faculty of for
getting or at least slowing away Ger
tain bits Of information. And the wo-
man who runs the risk Of malicious
gossiping can learn to do the same.
