The Act of Laughing

No doubt the sound of laughter is one
Of the very earliest and oldest Of hui
man cries. 1t is certainly an astonish-
ing sound, and one that it is very diff
cult to listen to and analyze without
predjudce and a remote feeling of sym
patty. The best way to study it that
| know is to seize on opportunities when
one is being constantly interrupted, say
at ones club, IN reading serious book,
by shouts of laughter from party of
strangers; one can then note the curious
variety of spasmodic sounds produced,
and marvel that men in the midst OF
rational conversation should be com
