Laughing Girl Supplants Weeper in
Life and Fiction, Too
BY Cynthia Grey.

The girl who knows when and
how to laugh has acquired one of
the best weapons with which to
flight her way in the world.
There was a time when the tear
full woman was fashionable, but
that day is happily passed. The
woman of laughter has supplant-
ed the weeping sister.
Tears are the weapons of the
weak; the strong woman smiles
and turns life's rebuffs with skill
full mirth.
No girl should undervalue the
power of laughter. Giggling and
tittering are poor limitations of
laughter, and should be constant
ly Stunned. Wholesome laugh
ter, comig fresh from hearts
that are gay, and even from
hearts that are sad, for some of
the sweetest laughter flows from
such hearts, will rob bitter mo-
ment of its sting, and will soften
the keenest disappointment; Ct
also allows sorrow to hide its
head beneath the bright raiment
of gayety and grieve in secret.
To realezi that the fearful
woman's day is past, one has only
to read modern fiction. The tear
full, red-yed, moist young person
whose nose vas always buried in
her pocket handkerchief Is fig
ure of the yesteryears.
Hurt a woman's feeling nova
days and she smiles gaily at you
or wilfully misunderstands your
meaning
A woman should have rip
ping Taught. It should be low
and musical AS matter of fact
women do not need to he taught
to laugh as men do. 1t comes
more naturally to them. No be
cause they have greater sense
of humor, but because they have
lighter and more sunshiny ma
lures. and because they use
laughter for a greater variety of
purposes than men do.
All laughter to be at all attrac-
tive mast be natural.
The ideal laughter must have
as its basis.

WHY NOT LET HIM GRUMBLE?

There is one privilege which
men will cling to long after they
have given women the right to
vote, and that is their own in
alienable, natural born right to
grumble. The man who doesn't
grumble has something radically
wrong with him, observed a care
full student Of the trousered spe-
cies. Women are always miser-
able with their grievances. but
men are bHssfully contented over
them. Give man a good, sound
grievance and a comfortable chair
in which to air it, and no one
need fear the distinction of clubs
or other male loafing places.

Once upon time there lived
Ia little girl named Miriam. The
bible does not tell us how old she
was when she watched over her
baby brother, Moses, but tradi-
ton says she was less than 10.
When the mother of Moses heard
that Pharaoh would kill all the
little boys of the Israelites, she
made a little boat of a basket
and placed the baby therein and
permitted 1t to float down the
Nile among the reeds near the
edge of the river.
And his sister, the bible says,
stood afar off to see what would
be done to him.
And SO little Miriam ran along
the river bank as her baby
brother floated along the stream.
