Reference

Grace Greenwood says she constantly hears women satirized for their propensity to gossip, but she must say that some of the most accomplished gossips she has ever known are to be found among Government employes of the sort who hold the franchise and the higher class clerkships, and whose time hangs heavy on their hands.
