Why Gossip

Gossip is born Of idleness. so quite naturally &
tlourishes in vacation time.
Lacking occupation. folks on vacation must naturally
do something. But why gossip when there are thousands
of books worth reading that you will never have time
to read? Why gosstp-don't you know tAat everyone
who touches a poisonous thing is tainted by IT.
Remember, it was a woman, Nine. de Krudner. who
said: at is not virtuous women who are SO ready to report
suspicion of their sisters"
Gossipers are but echoes, Shakespeare saya-4who
want to be an eeao, such a hollow thing2
And chamtort says that gossping is most prevalent
among the uneducated.
1gnorance-what a nasty word! Why gossipg You win
be labelled as ignorant, empty headed, or-worse-your
own character may be. assa1led.
