The HOME CIRCLE COLUMN,

Did you ever realize that nothing on
earth can smile but a human being.
Gems may flash reflected light, but
what is a diamond flash? A face that
cannot smile is like bud that cannot
blossom, and dies upon the stalk.
Laughter is day aud sobriety is night,
and a smile is the twilight that hovers
gently between both, and more be-
witching than either.
