Good-humor is rightly reckoned q
most valuable aid to happy home life.
An equally good and useful faculty is a
sense of humor or the capacity TO have

humdrum cares and work of life. We

generally to have lively, witty com

Then he laughed, and they both
laughed. and she went and got his

Everything that concerns Balzac' ;
life is mysterious, but this attachment
TO Nine. de Hanska seems to me to
give as the key to many points
that are otherwise incomprehensible.
First Of all. it helps to explain his her
culean literary labors and that intem-
pcrance Of tod which, while fatally
undermining his health, yet enabled
him to produce sdch a prOdigious
quantity OF work. To my mind, the
explanation Of Balzac S immense efforts

and his millions at her feet. This hap
