Anxious to Stop Scandal
"Sir-I wish it would be possible
to stop the scandalmongery of the
newspapers"
In the letter to the editor Of a
Boston newspaper Larsen said:
Your Unsuitable desire for scan
dals will cause you incessant grief
whenever you meet discreet people.
Let me advise you to use-(naming
well-known poison-when your
inferiority becomes too conscious in

latest Back Bay scandal. Neither to
you nor to the public can they give
anything but an after-dinner digest
ing-agent. And for that purpose-(the
Aforementioned poison)-is better and
sweeter than the venom of your COL
umns."
