Invention as a Business.

inventing in the highest sense can be

Our own country is not lacking in the

Laughter Makes Beauty.

The art of laughter should surely
be cultivated in fact, all and every
thing that leads to Joy. The wish to
be happy, the love of gladness and
beauty is a thing to be desired: con-
sequently 1t is worth little cultiva-
ton. Play is as essential factor In
mems lives as work. Philosophers tell
us that no man lives his own life until
he plays. Work comes from the ex-
igencies of life, from the "musts' of
the world, which often push men along
different paths to those they would
choose to travel by from inclination
or capacity. Play is. however, his rec.
reation, and here at his leisure time
comes out his whole soul; his power
of and choice of play. his greater or
lesser necessity of 1t, to recuperate
mind and body from the strain OF
daily work Laughter Is gift that
makes man akin to the gods, that wax
ems some OF the best and brightest OF
his nature.
