On the contrary, he is rather hattered
by the imputation of having moro than
ordinary ability. The woman who can
maintain that there is q distinction be-
tween telling a servant to say "Not at
home" instead of "Out" to unwelcome
callers is putting a fine point on an
ethical question, and may discover, too
late, that she has been teaching her
servants TO lie-purely, plainly and sim
ply without their making any such dis
tinctions. There are those who resent
being called diplomatic, and yet pride
themselves upon their tact" In . ma
jority of these cases it is safe TO assume
that what they call tact is a grand ca
pacity for lying.
Liars are like the poets, born, not
made. But once made, they divide
themselves into few definite classeA
The man who may have been forced
into an untruth is not a liar; afterwards,
he may sincerely repent his falsity in
Inetaphorical sackcloth and Ihes. But
the man who lies and knows no panR,
lie Is the natural-bOrn liar. There Is
the pretentious liar, the one who is al
ways striving to appear rather than to
he. He would be If he could, but as he
can not, he will try to appear that
which he wishes he was. This is tie liar
who has claims to social distinction,
who'babbles about his rich and infiuen-
tial connections, who tries to make his
acquaintance believe he is q very i'm
portant parsonage. If the pretontious
liar be woman, she will mention the
number of calls she has to make, the in
vitations she receives, the people with
whom she is SO intimate.
The amusing liar is one who tells fas-
cinating, little tales which charm his
hearers, even while their lack of truth
Is most evident This is the person who
tells what The said" and then ~ said
to him." These little conversations are
generally very dramatic, and are al
ways listened to with great interest,
and afford no end of amusement, but
they are not true, and everybody knows
it. The narrative liar is one who tells
long and interesting stories regarding
people she has met, places she has seen,
and thrilling experiences through which |
she has passed. They are not true, and |
everyone knows it, but they brighten
up an afternoon, and so they pass.
Then there is the sne ak of liar, one
who lies because 1t Is natural TO do so,
who lies in obedience to the law of sim |
istrality which dominates her whole |
being. Instead of taking the straight |
and narrow path, she prefers the wide
gate and the broad way simply for the |
express purpose of walking zigzag
along the road. OF all liars, the agree
able liar Is the most endurable, for this |
parsonage devOtes her time to saying |
nice, hattering little things to make her
listeners feel we'll satisfied with them
selves Who is proof against such deli
cate attention? We are almost ready |
to pardon the agreeable liar at once,
for so natural Is it to be pleased with |
ourselves, That it does not seem rs II |
these fulsoIue words could DO SO wide of |
the truth, after all!-San Francisco
