WomanM Laugh.

A feminine laugh has to be decora.
tive, and SO it should be the laugh Of
gayety rather than Of humor. There can
hardly he question as to the sweetest
laugh to be heard among nations of wo.
men--it is surely the Frenchwoman
She has the softest warble of all, II
doves were not SO serious, they might
remind us Of Partisan women laughing
together. The Italian laugh is happy
enough, but it is not quite SO independ
ent OF the subject of laughter. 1t has
jollity all its own. 1t is somewhat un.
civilized. but needs no civilizing. But
its principal characteristic is the con.
tralto tone proper to the woman who is
TO the last somewhat of peasant.
The laughter Of English women is too
various for any brief description. For
English women laugh not according to
their race, but according to their caste,
as caste has lately been revised and re-
distributed. 1t may be said that in caste
also the treble note, the ready, the i'm
mediate. fits up to its own place-the
top-and is audible there, for all its
slender quality. Collier's Weekly.
