Safety is only self-preservation.
The Evils of Gossiping'
Gossip is a noted evil, in that it is
most likely to be an exaggerated rumor.
Often it has no foundation at all, it
being the embellishment of a part of
the conversation overheard by Mrs. Gab
between two of her friends. When sh®
reports this to the world, much ill-feel
ing results, and if she could hear her
friends’ opinion of her she would regard
herself as one of the most ill-treated of
women.
Often it is that the person responsi
ble for the gossip means no harm. I*-
is very pleasant to be the bearer of tb®
latest news, and the more exciting
better. If these people could see tbe
trouble caused by what they regarded
as a harmless and amusing diversion-
gossip would fall off in a great measure-
There is another form of gossip, equal
ly harmful in its way, though the results
may not be so widespread. This is the
gossip of justification. If two persons
were to have a quarrel, their friends
would be sure to take sides. The worst
of it is that the friends think to mend
matters by reporting to the one whose
s'de they have taken everything possi
ble to damage the character of the other.
This course often results in a permanent
estrangement, as few people are proof
against this insidious poison.
When people have not enough worl^
to keep themselves busy, they often be
come conspicuous as scandal-mongerS-
without realizing it themselves, and what
is more, women are not alone in this
group. Men employ much of their tim®
before or after work in idle gossip.
Goss'p never pays its advocates. They
often lose friends through it, because
they never know who might overhead
their conversation, or in what form
will reach its object.
