Why this should be so it is difficult to understand, unless it has risen from the fact that in days gone by Isome women have not been so guarded in their utterances as they might have been. Let women show men that there are some who know how to restrain, their '. feminine propensity to gossip. Let them remember that the woman or girl who keeps quiet is given credit for knowing a great deal, while the chatterbox tells all/ehe knows, and gains no credit by it, for no one attaches much" importance to hex conversation.
