The hearty laugh that comes of
wholesome merriment is the sunshine
of life that drives creeping gloom

soon as the world finds out that you

can be put on so smoothly that no one
but a child can fathom it's insincerity.
A child that has not learned to deceive
has not yet learned how to be de-

hand in hand. Children know intui-
lively whether or not a smile is genu-
occasion. Children are keener than
adults in detecting masks, for the rea-
SON that adults usually have to look
through their own masks to see the
masks ON others. There is no charm
In smile if 1t lacks genuineness. A
smile may be as deep as a well and
as wide as barn door. 1t may reach
clean around and tie in a double bow
at the back; but the instant we detect
that it is not genuine we detest it.
Thereafter, the more there is of it the
worse we hate 1t. There have been
more lies smiled than have ever been
told in any other way. The Volapuk
language is nothing new. The smile
has always been universal speech. It

the human soul. Take the smile and
it's universal significance away from

meaningless, because every one of the
human emotions that distinguish US

is walled in, stagnate for want Of an
outlet. Addison insists that there ia

from really cheerful heart is never
out of place. But there are laughs
and giggles that are only mouth-deep
Own IL you can one of those welcom-
ing faces that bring the sunshine to
life's shadowed spots. He who gives
most joy ever receives most. Hap
piness is forever an export joy. The
occasional hearty laugh is good, but
better still is the steady sunshine of
smiling heart and face. Happiness
seldom comes as one great moonstone,
but rather as thousand little beads Of
joy which we string upon the threads
of daily duty and opportunity.

different.
The fair man and woman are Saxon
to the core, and love fields, animals,

should select a girl with raven hair

the risk of a vehement temper and a
jealous disposition. If he Is farmer
or quiet business man he should
marry his physical opposite, because
the contrast is more piquant. But If
he is man dependent upon his brain

surely 1t is far cry to f1t an cleo

The great advantage Of this seems
that, roughly speaking, fair people
take life more easily than dark ones,
and are less nervous and more ami
able. Therefore the ideal mate for
the dark, energetic, highly strung
man is the blonde, placid, good-tem-

rather expensive comedies. For those
actively engaged therein, however,
these war games are no jokes. In
