talk for few minutes with the person
who acts this lie, you will quickly dis
cover exactly what she is and from what
she came.
VERY FREQUENT LIE.
Another lie met with very often during
the summer months is the lie OF blue
blood. Some one who having nothing else
10 recommend her, begins to tell story
about her ancestors; she dilateS on their
greatness, on their richuess, on their
sliperiorlty TO every one else and, without
absolutely saying so, she seems in her
heart of hearts 10 thank heaven that her
blood is not exactly like other peoples.
The teller of this lie forgetS that ever
present person, the woman with the good
memory, who is very quick to tell after
the departure of the liar exactly WHO
these ancestors were. Of their slight ilu-
lOrtance, and how, rs the family of to-day
amounts 70 so little it becomes necessary
for them to be regarded as is potato-and
the credit for the hest to be given to that
which is underground.
The liar who tells of her fine clothes
which she didn't bring, Of her carriages
which she thought out of place in the
country, of her yacht which was unsuted
to the waters nearest, ana OF her rich
friends in every State but the one i'll
which she happens to be. this sort Of a
liar is common and of everyday life. She
is usually u bore, and nobody accepts her
statements for one moment, except ex-
trenely young men or school girls.
THE FINANcIAL MAGNATE.
very common liar to be met with
usually at the smart summer places is the
embryo stock broker You watch with
interest how he manages his clothes, so
that he always looks dashing though he
seldom has the appearance of a gentleman.

he manages TO be among people who are
generous with it; and then, he dilates
about his Investments; tells how every
ching he touches turns to gold. speaks of
the nagnutes of Wall street rs if he knew
them intimately, and really manages to
convince some people that lie is person
of great importance. lie is ready to take
advantage of any little scheme that will
make him more conspicuous, and he
doesn't hesitate at getting women to chip

number OF ladies at Newport. OF course,

some other reason for it, and TO start an
Intimacy with those who do not speak to
| the others.
