DEAREST PAINTS A PORTRAIT
UnconsclousIy Reveals Ills True Self While Setting Down Record of
 the Daily Events.

No man has ever yet succeeded in painting an honest portrait of himself in an autobiography, however sedu- lously he may have set to work about it. In spite of his candid purpose he Omits necessary touches and adds su- perfluous Ones At times he cannot help draping his thought, and the least shred of drapery becomes disguise. It is only the diarist who accomplishes the feat of self-portraiture, and he, without any such end in view, does it unconscious1y. A man cannot keep a daily record of his cOmings and goings and the little items that make up, the sum of his life, and not inadvertently betray himself at every turn. He lays bare his heart with a candor not pos sIble to the self-consciousness that inevitably colors premeditated revela- tion. While Pepys was filling those small octave pages with his perplex- ing cipher he never once suspected that he was adding a photographic portrait of himself to the worlds gal Iery. We are more intimately ac- quaInted with MT. Samuel Pepys, the inner man-his little meannesSes and his large generosities-than we are with half the persons we call our dear friends.-"POnkapog Papers," Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
