This article presents the author's views on gossip columnists. The syndicated gossip columnists of the current American press have the problem of finding interesting people for their column according to the author. Their solutions are the matter of this survey. It is only fair to point out that Molière and Proust were not bound by some of the limitations imposed on the gossip columnist. A daily column of gossip is impossible for one human being to produce; but it is easy to compose it from the mail. Thus the columnist, by and large, must accept a cast of characters given him by companies and restaurants who hire press agents.
