70 he Greater Liar S

tells them to make life pleasanter
for some one. But the lies that men
tell hurt and Destroy"
Edith Ellis, the playwright, gave
men the palm in the art of plausible
Justification.
Men are the greater liars be-
cause they are organized. Women
are unorganized liars, therefore in
the amateur class.
"If you want to see a towering
specimen of mans ability to lie
study the methods Of latter day
publicity and watch its reaction upon
the subjects of it. Take the the
atrieal managers. After a few years
of home manufactured fame, the
fame made in their own offices,
they believe it. 1 know only one
exception. He never reads the stuff,
sent out about himself. else there
might be no exception.
Eyes, men are fhe greater liars.
and they are never such great liars
as when they tell themselves how
great they are"
Frances Starr answered: Fifty
fifty. Men and women win both
lie under pressure. 1t is too bad but
true. 1t is fear that makes them
iie-fear for themselves and others.
They are afraid of hurting the feel
ings of others or are fearful Of con-
sequences for themselves.
But it is a very foolish practice.
It does not, matter much. after all,
whatever one is moved to lie about.
Looking back afterward, one knows
it was of small moment. Marcus
Aurelius tells us something of the
same sort. The best cure for lying
is the study of the stole philoso-
piers"
Miss Beatrice Wanger, who
teaches rhythmic dancing to girls
of the East Side. stopped on the
dock before sailing to utter her opin-
ion of the mooted matter.
Women are the most accom-
plished prevaricators," she said.
''They are dishonest with them
selves. They refuse to look truth
in the eyes. They tell themselves
fairy stories and believe them be-
cause they are pretty and expect
every one else to believe them.
They are a long way from Emer-
son, who said: The comfort of a
theory is no proof of it's truth
''The remedy for lying by both
men and women is work-and wider
vision. We are all too shortsighted."

Friedrich Handel, Reginald De Ko-
ven, Claude Achilie Debussy, Gitz-
Rice, John Philip Sousa, Harry Won
TilZer, Charles Francois Gounod,
Bert Williams and, in the words of
the song plugger, others too numer-
Gus to mention. Most of them, pos
sibIy all of them, had contributed to
the melodies that have been poured
forth by this house of a thousand
hits to cause the public to shake its
shimmy and the pulpit to shake its
finger.
"Of course" said the director Of
the Social Register Orchestra (fhe
boys that put the zizzzz into jazz,
every man soloist), there's lot
of those guys who wouldn't stand
chance to-day. The public is de-
manding a little more speed, see?
Any guy trying to put over II Trova-
tore or Aida or 'Tannhaeuser' the
way they stand would starve to death
these days. It's only natural, see?
Verdi and Wagner were all right be-
fore the managers started dance
floors. but it's like the writing game.
Only last week big magazine writer
who is in here offering some lyrics
says it's like that with the writing
game. He mentions a lot of guys
like Dickens and Tolstoy and Long
fellow and a lot more I can't remem-
ber and says that they wouldn't
stand a chance to-day with the edi-
tors.
IT'S like that with music. The
singers are getting wise too. My
own brother was singing nothing but
grand opera, II Trovatore,' 'Boheme'
and Carmen and he was getting
over big when he takes flop to jazz.
I wised him. I showed him that the
classical stuff was dying out and the
jazz taking its place and he seen it
quick. OF course it's like lot OF
other things. like in the writing game
like that guy says last week, you
can't let grand opera stuff drop cold.
You writing guys think of Dickens
! and Toistoy and Longfellow every
nov and then just like the composers
do the classical boys, Verdi and
Wagner and the rest of them.

A Novelist's Opinion.

My first witness is Arthur
Stringer, a Canadian novelist, who
has the reputation of writing mean
things about women. He looked en-
barrassed when the question was put

he smoked, frowned, smiled and
confided:
