Men and Women—

Worst Gossips— Women or Men?

By ERNEST E. BLAU | . |

I$! DELICIOUS) IT T0DAY!

"VE HEARD SOME gals ~ A claim that men are bigger gossips than Women — but that’s just some more women gossip. Only one dame in ° 10 really believes it,- according to a poll on the subject. ..The babes love a bla-bla huddle because it gives ‘'em a chance to talk about other people, the big interest in every female's life. - What Mabel's doing nights; what Florence is getting away with - at the office; how Mrs. Bloop can possibly dress like that oni Thorndyke's salary. “You just sit here in front nif a. oad of dames.” a Ong... distance bus driver told me, “and in three miles you'll know about the private business of all their friends, relativés and neighbors. You start with a bus load of people and end with a whole train load.” pin ly! , » . : AND DID you know- th “older the babes get, the more | they gossip? At the age of 40, authorities say, they reach their peak of talkativeness. That's because at 40 most babes think they're losihg some of their charm—they begin to feel sort of insecure. Gossiping about the faults of other folks makes the little gals feel more important! Now let's look at men: I often ride down in the commuting train with a guy in. the paint business. He's no gossip. He doesn’t talk about other people; he doesn’t-pull me up sharp with . a breath. of scandal or a choice boudoir tidbit. . He talks about the paint

No, he’s not a gossip. He's much worse. He's one goshawful bore.

ANOTHER clever feature of the Fisher yard is a series of half-moon rock-rimmed flower beds.
