II would be idle to pretend that the art
OF conversation is generally understood.
Possibly, it ls one which people do not
care to understand, seeing that they are
mostly wrapped up in themselves and
that the art makes serious demands upon
those who are so circumstsnced. Indeed,
we are inclined to believe that CoRversa.
ton could have no charms whatever for
many individuals il the aggravatiDg little
pronoun 81" were not continually intro.
duced into it. Yet the constant introduC-
ton Of the pronoun 81" into conversation
is o ruthless violation Of the fr>t and
fundamental principle Of the art OF con-
versation. No person can continually be
listened to with interest, If with pretended
attention, if his conversational stock.in.
trade consists merely of q ne~ver.ending
supply of anecdotes relating to himself.
He m6y colour his stories as much as be
pIeases-he may relate them eon6dentialIy
or he may tell them oratorically-but
whatever he does the result will ever be the
same. His listeners, it not few and openly
unwilling, will at any rate be merely those
who are bound to him by the ties OF friend.

Of course, perfectly natural that men
should like. above all things, to talk about
themselves and their doings; but the
boredom for which the outragers OF the
art of conversation are responsible 10 all
the more irksome on this account. This 10
apparent at a glance. Say that A is pro-
foundly interested in some schems, which
has no charms whatever tor B, who is
concerned in en- undertaking Of quite q
different character. Well, A and B meet.
Being 10 sympathy far apart it might be
thought that they would each have to
submit to q certain amount OF boredom
