deed it is Unborn in very few, but much can
be done by self control and practice to de

stilted and distant in talking the best re-

written on conversation are agreed on this.
ITO talk without effort is, after all, the
great charm of talking" The social party
is not the place for academical lectures, and
he is apt to be thought either prig or a
pretender who adventures upon them. Men
like Macaulay and Carlyle were privileged.
But they were masters of monologue rather
than polite conversation. Their example is
not to be followed.
| Montague, in his essay on conversation,
has some very good hints. This is one; "ln
table talk l prefer the merry man before
the wise one, and in common conversation
! the most able speaker, even though he does
not always mean what he says, and so OF
other things" This points out one great
rule. Earnestness is apt to overleap itself
and one sided enthusiasm is sure to do so
