girl was not disposed to sing The
company begged and the mother in

refused.

mother asked impatiently.

LAUGH AND BE HEALTHY.

that a person on the eve of col

nothing that can replace it, and I
am genuinely sorry for the mortal
from whose composition it seems to
have been left out. It always has
been a good thing for its possessor,
but in this day of rush and more OF
less worry it is especially to be APP
preciated, for the man who is able
to see the funny side of things, even
though the joke may be on him, has
a sort of safety valve, and he isn't
likely to go to pieces as the result of
a nervous explosion.
'Serious folk, you see, are in
variably engaged in bottling things
up-experiences of various kinds,
their own impressions, and so on.
They don't give themselves the out
let that is enjoyed by the man fond
of laugh and whose knowledge of
the ridiculous enables him to regard
things in proper perspective. The
unduly serious don't dismiss trifes
with a shrug and smile. They ex-
aggerate matters which should only
be given a moment or so of amused
attention, and the first that they
know they have so much to think of

taxed, and off they must go to SAM.
