Men and Gossip.

“When it comes to discretion, if there is any inequality of the sexes we fancy men have the disadvantage.” remarks a London paper. “If there is a scandal in society, a dark otoud overhanging the ministry, an ominous rumor about a newspaper or a bank, where is it flrat discussed? Why, in the men’s clubs. Thence it reaches the female gossips, and if they* in turn mention what *my husband heard at the dub’ they are at once setTfown as scandal mongers, while the originators of the scandal go scot free. In the country houses, too, are not the men as ready to tell tales u the women, as eager to bring forward the latest news, political, social or financial? Many women let their tongues run on, it is true, but so do many men.”
