Christmas SleighiEg
in Days of Long Ago

~F COURSE the children had a
w sleigh ride during the holidays.
But more and more as their par
ents talked over what they would give
the children when they came home
from the sleigh ride, more and more
as they planned the good hot supper,
they thought about the sleigh rides
there had been when they were young.
What sleigh rides those had been!
What fun! What a nice thing it was
that now the children could enjoy
these sleigh rides.
And yet-and yet-why not2
They talked it over with each other
and then with the neighbOrs. Then It
was decided upon.
And the grOwn-ups, too, had a
sIeIgh ride during the Christmas holi'
days just as they had had when they
we're young. Afterward there was a
hot supper and then there were games.
Why put aside a sleigh-ride party
when ones spirit is the same, even II
a few years have been added2-Mary

GOSSIP
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.


THREE women were sitting across
= the aisle from me in a railway
coach, talking. Their voices were
pitched high. Their enthusiasm was
evident. 1t was impossible not to hear
what they were saying. They were
not educated women, and the things
they were saying were not pleasant
things. They were discussing their
friends, in fact, and their acquaint-
ances, ridiculing them, laughing loud
ly at their frailties, repeating unsavory
and unkind things that rumor had
brought to their ears.
Their talk was full of 81 under
stand and 81 have heard and you
know they say of "She said to me-
and ~ told her. and you must not
repeat it to a SOUL" Their stories
were turgid with specific details to
make more evident their truthfulness
and reality, l presume. They recount
ed with meticulous accuracy the time
and place and accompanying circum-
stances of the most trivial bits of
scandal.
LET me see, who was it told me;
was it Mrs. Brown? No. I think it
wasn't her. it vas Mrs. Jones. We
were standing at the corner of the
street, and | think it was Wednes-
day. remember now. it was Tues
day." 1t was, of course, not germane
to the facts presented who it was or
when. but the accuracy of the details
helped to make the facts neontrovert-
ible. They discussed the most private
affairs of people; they tore to pieces
and besmirched every reputation they
touched. and they did it all with an
appearance of personal propriety that
was maddening. So far as I could
make out, they did not say a kind
word about any one. and they talked
about nothing that was really eleyat-
inc or any Of their business.
1t is interesting that a gossip never
has anything to say about things or
principles. His only topic of con
versation is people, and the things he
says about them are usually destruc-
tive. Gossiping is not confined To
m men are quite commonly adj
dicted to it. 1t is not confined to men
and women of the class | have been
describing. Even in an intellectual
community it is common, and the
wider experience of the educated and
their keenness of intellect, and their
greater ability TO utter sharp and cut
ting things. to ridicule everything that
is good and holy, make them all the
more dangerous. The older the per
son the more damage he can do by
peddling vicious. foolish gossip. The
character of an individual may bt
ruined and Is being ruined every day
by these scandal mongers.
It is q wise custom il you canno'
say good about a person to say moth
ing.
