'?JMIRKB women were sitting across
the aisle from me In i railway
coach, talking. Their Tolcea were
pitched high. Their enthusiasm waa
evident It was Impossible not 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 "I under
stand" and "I have heard" and "You
know they say," of "She said to me"
and "I told her" and "Tou must not
repeat It to a soul." Their stories
were turgid with specific details to
make more evident their truthfulness
and reality, I 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 toe;
was It Mrs. Brown? No, I think It
wasn't her, It was Mrs. Jones. Ws
were standing at the corner of th?
street, and I think It was Wednes
day ? I remember now, it was Tues
day." It 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 incontrovert
ible. They discussed the most private
affairs of people; they tore to pieces
and besmirched every reputation they
touched, and they did It ail 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 elevat
ing or any of their business.
It 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
women; men are quite commonly ad
dicted to it. R Is not confined to men
and women of the class I have been
describing. Even In an Intellectual
community it is common, and the
wider experience of tiie educated and
their keenness of intellect, and their
greater ability to utter sharp and cat
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 be
ruined and is being ruined every day
by these scandal mongers.
It Is a wise custom if you cannot
say good about a person to say noth
ing.
