HOW VARIOUS NATIONS LAUGH

A tenor singer, Noel Filming, has
just opened in Milan school OF
laughing" says Tit-Bits. Mr. Filming
contends that very few people know
how to laugh. They laugh without
taking an account of the effect on their
listeners, and with a total disregard
of the laws of harmony. Mr.. Fliming's
complete course of harmonious hilar-
ity' consists of ten lessons, and 1t is
said that pupil who has gone through
the course conscientiously will be able
to laugh with that musical meditation
and artistic finish which are usually
associated with the character of Mar
guerite in Faust" 1t is said that the
professor already has a large clientele,
and has received numerous letters OF
encouragement from influential people
1t seems that laughter betokenS ma
tionality. The German has sonorous
laugh, without bounds and without
purpose. The English laugh is cold
unfeeling, almost condescending, and
among the gentry we learn it is a rule
never to laugh at all. The Austrian
has an elegant, light, and infectious
laugh. The Viennese girl laughs fire.
quently probably on account of her
good teeth. The Belgian laughs freely
the laughter of the fair The Amer
lean has a ringing and domineering
laugh. The American girls laughter is
that of a people who drink good wine,
but for some years there has been less
laughter in France, probably due to
the great consumption of mineral wa
ters snobbism and dental deteriora-
ton. The city which laughs the least
is Madrid, and that which laughs best
Paris.
