The LAUGH OF a WoMAS.--A woman has
no natural gift more bewitching than q
sweet laugh. 1t is like the sound of flutes
on the water. 1t leaps from her in clear
sparkling rill, and the heart that hears It
feels as if bathed in the cool, exhilarating
spring. Sometimes it comes to us in the
midst of care and sorrow or irksome bust
ness, and then we turn away and listen and
hear it ringing in the room like q silver
bell, with power to scare away the evil
spirit of the mind. How much W. owe to
that sweet laugh. 1t turns the prose to
poetry. 1t filings flowers ofdarkness Of the
wood in which We are travelling.
