TRUST YOUR HAPPINESS
With the Woman Who Laughs and
You Will BE Glad of 1t.

You Will BE Glad of 1t.
"You can trust your happiness with
a woman who laughs" once said Il
wit Though the assertion may seem
like a sweeping one, says the New
York Weekly, founded on a very airy
basis, there is much more truth in it
than appears on the surface.
An honest laugh is the enemy Of
subterfuge, and the woman who can
see the ridiculous side of the annoy
ing happenings Of everyday life will
not become the dismal. tiresome COM
panion that the pessimistic indiyi-
dual is so apt to prove.
Somehow one feels instinctively that
they can trust person who has laugh
ing eyes whose mouth is ever ready
to dimple into smiles. and whose dis
position tends to brightness rather
than depression.
Loud, meaningless laughter is as bad
as the cackling giggle cmanating from
shallow mind, and is an evidence Of
lack of breeding, but the spontaneous
low, happy little laugh, teemins with
enjoyment Of the moment and backed
by nature pure and lovable, lis a
charm in women as attractive as a
lovely face or beautiful form.

PREPARED FOR THE FIGHT,

How the Nations Of Europe Reached
the Limit of Endurance.
What wonderful spectacle it is that
Europe now presents! Her population
claims Il sort Of monopoly in civilization,
yet outside Of England every nation
has reached the limit Of its endurance
in preparing for war. which neverthe-
less does not arrive. The surplus encr-
gy and money of the whole continent
is devoted to keeping up Il security
which is nowhere felt to be quite sutti-
Gent, yet is nowhere overly threat
ened-which. indeed, is guaranteed by
profuSe professions Of peaceable inten-
tons.
The work Of civilization goes on,
every day records some advance in
science or in human comfort, the toll
ers are daily cXerting themselves to
secure more leisure better housing. and
plrasanter food. and vet the nations
with one consent are converting them
selves into food for powder 1t is as if
the professor and the merchant and the
laborcr. while strcnuously going on with
their business and eager to derive more
comfort from it, We're all agreed that
they must sleep in plate armor 1t

terrible. and as vet there is not Il sign
that we arc arriving at the end of the
situation. People say it must end some
day. but 1t has gone on getting worse
for twenty years; and though it cannot
get worse still. because men and money
are alike exhausted. there is no proof
that it will not last for twenty years
further yet.
There is rot 4 statesman in Europe
who could draw up, much less carry
project Of general disarmament
There is not 4 popular leader in Europe
who makes of disarmament an earnest
cry. though the socialists in their fcal
of repression would do it if they could
and we question if there is Il nation il
Europe which would consent to be dis
armed. There is certainly not tri
lmph of human wisdom; and yet the
