GOSSIP


hate gossip. 1t seems such small business to spend ones
time picking to pieces, slandering and defaming another's
reputation. Still when one thinks about it gossip has its adj
vantages.
What people will say and think about us keeps many of us
walking the straight and narrow path. There is scarcely a
person IN the world but what deep down in their heart values
their neighbours opinion, though many people claim they don't
They say" is after all a sort of guardian angel of the public
morals.
1t is easy to stifle our conscience. to invent excuses for
ourselves for whatever we want to do, but no one has found a
way OF stopping gossip. 1t has exceedingly sharp eyes, and its
tongue wags increasingly. 1t considers only our acts. Never
our motives.
Young Mrs. Smith enjoys immensely dancing with Mr..
Brown, but she realizes she must not overdo it because of what
= people will say" ThN*<nowledge that her acts will be vivi-
sected by the gossips A%She town has kept flighty, giddy Mary
Allen from many a rash act. The fact of what the other girls
IN the office will say has kept many a pretty stenographer
from accepting her bosses invitations to lunch with him.
Surely gossip has its advantages. 1t serves as a check
rein to some of our possibly harmless, but decidedly inds-
Greet and rash acts. But on the strength Of this thought let
us not over indulge in it, for there are so many, better ways
of spending ones time.

There are a dozen plausible rea-
sons why this is true. The grand

mother had no social obligations

had no telephone or autos, no choice
assortment of amuseme nts to cure
her from her duties. IL she went
away for a visit with a neighbor Or
relative, the baby went with her, and
certainly 1t was far more convenient
to keep the baby at the breast for
twelve to fifteen months than to

CANNED AND DRIED FRUITS
By BERTHA e. sHAPLEIGH

b Every person responsible for a
Ffamily's food should supply canned
dried or fresh fruit each day.
Breakfast calls for fresh fruit,
when possible, and at this season
grapefruit and oranges are plentiful
and reasonable in price. Prunes
should be served at least twice a
week. Occasionally dried whole figs,
utewed and served with cream, for
breakfast or dessert at dinner, offer
Z pleading change and laxative. In
cooking all dried fruits, bear in mind
that long soaking, and then a short
cooking in the water in which they
are soaked, makes for improved
taste. Slices Of lemon, added while
cooking, help the flavor.
