unwritten Law of Hospitality.

No less binding than the Hippo
cratic oatE. taktn by physicians or en-
tering their profession, lsonlislng
never to dlvulge any secrets. Obtained
through their practice as Physicians,
is the great unwritten law Of hospi-
tality that makes it obligatory on the
host or hostess or members of the
hosts household, to respect the per
sOaality of all those who larry within
their gates. accounting peculiari-
ties or petty faults of our neighbors
and acquaintances is Mt best a mean
way of diverting ourselves and our
friends-though it is something that
we all do at some time or other-but
when the persons about whom we
gossip are our guests, or the infor-
nation we haye about them was de-
rived when they were our visitors, our
conduct is beneath contempt.
