RED HAVEN PEACHES ARRIVING DAILY

Gossip stimulates the
imagination in each of us. From
an innocent remark or a
suggestive happening, we spin a
juicy tale.
Through the telephone lines,
the gossip flows rapidly. When we
stumble upon a tidbit of in-
formation, we don't have to wait
until we visit someone. Instead
we grab our telephone receiver
and immediately spread the
news.
One persons flashes the society
bulletin to a friend, who confides
in another acquaintance, who in
turn tells a fourth party and so
on. When thestory returns to the
originator, she hardly recognizes
it.
"Maybes" become "cer
tainties," "ifs" become "ands,"
figures are doubled and names
are added. The possibility of the
story being a joke is eliminated;
the severity of the drama is
stressed,
Gossip often blossoms from an
insignificant seed. For instance,
a ladymight jokinglycomment to
a group of acquaintances, "I told
Harry,`if he doesn't stop
smoking, I'm leaving him.' "
An individual, who is ex-
perienced in the art of gossip,
knows which words to forget,
which blanks to fill in and which
points to exaggerate. Thus a
conclusion is quickly reached;
"Lil is leaving Harry, Their
marriage is on the rocks."
Imagine the questions those
statements spark. Why are they
separating? Is there another
man, or is there another woman?
Where will Lil go? What will she
do? When will their divorce be
finalized? A gossip's paradise is
created.
Why do we participate . in
gossip? Is it merely a pastime,
something to fill our leisure
hours? Gossip usually develops
from curiosity and provides an
outlet for a runaway imagination.
Perhaps envy ignites some
rumours. A person flaunts, in our
opinion, a haughty air. Con-
sciously or subconsciously, we
decide to bring her down a peg or
two. We capitalize on stories that
already exist, or we invent tales
of our own,
An additional theory suggests
that gossip results from our own
shortcomings. In others, we view
the reflection of our own faults.
who wants to criticize himself?
Instead we magnify the mistakes
made by others, hoping to detract
attention from our own follies.
We unhesitatingly criticize our
fellow man. When someone tries
something new, we debate his
chances for success. If he fails,
we aren't surprised. We would
have handled the situation more
skilfully.
I've met some people, though,
who refuse to speak against
others. They believe a person's
actions and motives are no one's
business but his own. They keep
their thoughts to themselves. Any
gossip that reaches their door
travels no farther.
Possibly more of us should
adopt their philosophy. If we did,
gossip would wane.
The type of gossip, which in-
