Dorothy Dix Talks

BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writes

Everybody knows this, and they
know that there is no more a way of
escaping gossip than there is of evad-
ing death and taxes. They likewise
can fight back at gossip, or disprove
it, or explain yourself to it, because it
is intangible.
''They say is like a dead miasma
that rises up from the very earth, and
Stays it's victim with a slow and in
sicicus poison. And the only remedy
for it is prevention. Once let it touch
person, and he or she can never be
entirely whole and clean again.
OF course, there are plenty of cases
where gossip works terrible harm.
Undoubtedly, wrong interpretations
dalmongers blacken characters beyond
justification. There are plenty of
women who do things that seem
wicked, that are merely indiscreet, and
| there are thousands of men who are
more fools than Williams, but even with
these unfortunate sacrifices to SIAN
derous tongues, gossip still does more
good than harm, because 1t makes all
but idiots give a thought to their con-
| duct, and avoid even the appearance of
evil. And to so live as to furnish no
! food for SANDER, is a pretty safe chart
to steer by.
It is the custom to castigate the
gossiper, and to hold up as a model
the three monkeys with their hands
before their eyes. and their ears, and
their mouths, who refused to see any
| evil, or hear any evil, or to speak any
evil of their fellow creatures.
But why should we expect the gen.
| eral public to have more regard for
our regulations than we have for
| them ourselves? Why should we eX-
| pect other people to be more careful
| of our good names than we are? Why
should we demand that our friends
and neighbours should keep silent
about the weaknesses We flaunt in
their faces?
| If we DO not want to be talked
about, we should not do things we
are ashamed to have discussed. II
is only when people are doing things
| that are wrong, or that lean to the
evil side, that they object to being
talked about. When they are doing
| fine things, and right things, the more
that people have to say about them
| the better they like it. The chorus
| of praise can never swell too loud
! 1t is only when we are being blamed
that we. want to put the soft peda
on.
! when the old ladies on the hote
veranda at the summer resort lool
up from their knitting and say, Ism
! that Mary Smith the prettiest. sweet
| est, most modest young girl you have
seen in an age?', Mary Smith doesnt
| want to stop them; but when they say
/, isn't that Mary Smith the mos
painted up, brazen-faced creature yoJ
/ ever saw, and did you know that she
] sat out in a dark corner until two
O'Clock with a married man?'', Mar,
Smith calls them gossips.
And II Mary Smith doesn't want t.
be gossiped about, all she has to dc
! is to behave herself. Generally the
fear of gossip does make her behav,
herself That is what makes gossiI
so valuable. It's the policeman,
club that keeps the world in order.

The reported assertion of Associate
Justice Marshall. in his Memorial Day
address, that the Civil war was car
ried on for the purpose of-freeing the
slaves probably will find many dissent
ers. There were thousands OF men
in the Union army who would not
have been there if they had thought
they were fighting for that purpose.
If that had been the original purpose
of the war, Abraham Lincoln would
hardly have waited two years to issue
his emancipation proclamation.
