Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Conversational Circle
The world which cares for such matters has been told so often that conversation is one of the lost arts that it has come to be taken for granted that this highest form of social expression must find its place, with chain armor and Watteau's shepherd esses, among the things of the past. Essay ists have hinted in many unmistakable ways that the generation which now dines and talks has parted with one of those finer resources which gave the society of a more fortunate time a charm which still imparts to certain memoirs and letters a delicate perfume.
