This woman. with her dignifed walk,
had taught herself something else. She re-
membered what Dumas said: mo woman
should ever laugh; she may smile, for this
gives to her mouth its most
graceful curve" He then goes
on to say that when a woman laughs she
makes herself ridiculous.
People who have studied these things
agree with the French writer, and it must
be confessed that there is nothing pref
tier TO see than a woman's lips parted in
a smile, and showing between their redness
glistening white teeth. Who doesn't re-
member Theo's smile? Who does
not remember Judics smile?

what l say about 1t.
1t is very nice to preach to mothers,
to tell them how they ought TO make their
children behave, and how they ought
to dress them and care for them. Good
children are the exception. regret to say,
rather than the rule. l don't like prigs
