THE WARPED SENSE OF HUMOR.

1t is a big thing to be born with a sense OF
humor. 1t will force smooth sailing on lfe's rough
est seas, and will make even %drudgery bearable.
The woman who cannot see a joke. even at her
own expense, is to be pitied-and so are her fun
loving friends. There is nothing harder on both
sides than a humorism that falls flat.
The good people who are interested in the de-
crease of divorce should have a law passed that the
serious minded and the joker may not wed. It
means ructions ere the orange blossoms fade.
A man not long ago was bewailing a broken en-.
gagement. A friend who knew them both said:
ct is the Lord taking a hand to save you from
a lifetime of misery. Georgia couldn't see fun If
it were labeled JOKE, and you couldn't help jok-
ing though it meant a separation from those you
loved best"
But it is one thing to have a sense of humor and
another to have a warped sense of humor. There
is no one more maddening than the person who
roars at our mishaps and thinks it 80 funny" to
mortify his friends,
You can afford to laugh-if you feel like it
when you fall in a crowded ballroom or lose your
false puffs in church; but you have no friendship
so tender that will warrant a smile when a friend
does the same.
1t is the woman with the misplaced sense of
humor who tells embarrassing anecdotes about fam
lily makeshifts, or who repeats as a good joke to
a common friend something you have said about
her but never intended her to hear.
One of these misplaced humorists is the husband
VINO THINKS II funny 10 ASH d guest u have Certdin
dishes, and when she accepts to tell her 1--WE are
just out Of It"
Have you never been covered with embarrass-
ment by having such a man ask you to say grace at
his dinner table and shrek with laughter at your
efforts to get out Of it?
Then there are humorists who, when you tell q
good story, think it smart" to receive it with
forced outlaws, and others who willfully refuse to
laugh at the point.
Laugh all you can, but have a sense of fitness
in your laughing. To joke over the bumps in your
own life will do much to smooth them; to find hui
NOR in the mishaps of your friends is soon to find
yourself friendless.
Nc matter how keen your sense of humor. use
discretion in sharing a joke with a friend. Humor
is like lightning. It rarely strikes twice in the
same way.
