Show Gossip in the North. - Girls, do you like to hear naughty "little stories" about the doings of your neighbor, and "his sisters and his cousins and his aunts?" Well, if so, come North. Everywhere you go, this will greet you; at a State dinner, at an evening party, at the opera and at church. Scandal, scandal everywhere. Why, in a month, if you will take the trouble to inquire, you can learn in Jersey the history of a man's family from his great-great-grandmother down to the present day. Everything that isn't nice or pretty comes out in the papers, too; so if you want to keep up with the times, read it all. Free thinking and free speaking rule the day. Subjects which we would never think of bringing up in conversation are discussed by all with the greatest freedom, and nothing is thought of it. It seems at first mighty queer to a Southerner. -Southern Paper. |
