smile 1t is not simply to raise laugh,
it is not to be grotesque, 1t is not
buffoonery. 1t condescends to things of
low estate, to the little things. and
lifts them up tenderly and glorifies
them as Burns did the field mouse and
the daisy. 1t is the writing of Charles
Lamb. of Oliver Wendell Holmes, of
Eugene Field, of James Whitcomb
Riley, it is an essay of Agnes Repplier.
1t is sympathy that reaches down into
the depths of the heart where sorrow
is as well up to the heights of mirth,
and this sympathy, very tender by
reason of its birth, it's development, its
culture, is woman's special prerogative.
Intuitional and emotional woman is to
be congratulated that hers is the true
humor that sees nothing to laugh at
in pain, suffering, drunkenness, dis
ease or lies, but is the tender persuas-
i've sort that coaxes the first smile to
the rosebud mouth of the infant and
teaches the tiny fodder whose finger
encircles hers the road to Joy and
laughter.

which the author is thoroughly con-

Present Time, and What Has Brought
1t About"
For more than six years holding a
position of trust under the government
of Russia Prof. Lutoslawski was al
lowed freedom not given to the usual
traveller or the usual reporter in search
of newspaper or magazine news.
AS the head savant of one or the
leading colleges of eastern Russia &C.
cupying the chair of civics, he passed
three years in lecturing and educating
the Russian public; for three years
afterward he was stationed in oriental
Russia, where he had intercourse with
the leading and ablest officials of that
section of the country and during this
intercourse he was enabled to secure
knowledge which places him at the
head of the European authorities on
political and historical conditions Of
Russia.
This subject is of interest to the
people of Los Angeles and undoubtedly
Prof. Lutoslawski will be greeted with
a larger audience than at his first lee
