CAN YOU LAueH9


Can you laugh?
Just about once in SO often | am
newly impressed with the enormous
value OF a good laugh as social as,
set.
My most recent lesson in this mat,
Ter was given me BY one OF those
mushroom acquaintanccs which we
all make in vacation days. She was
a rather plain woman with no particu.
lar recommendation except that .sbil.
ity to laugh. often, at the proper time,
and extremely we'll. And BY "well,"'I
don't mean musicaliy. nut simply with
an appearance OF hearty enjoyment
and appreciation. r.. - -
Without the laugh she would have
been commonplace. With It she short.
ly BECAME one or the most popular
women'tn the hotel. Everyone said
to everyone else, what a Jolly WON,
an Mrs. S. is. How much interest she
takes in everyone. What a pleasure
It Is to talk to her. Newcomers, es,
peclally, were delighted Witt her:
At first !, too, was among the en-.
thusiasts,. but In two or three weeks
Like many others got uilacrt lhe
laugh, found that the heartincsS Was
only mask. and that the reality be,
meath the mask was rather more cold
and selfish, than the average. But
whoever failed her, there were always
plenty OF new arrivals to meet the
lady, fall beneath the spell OF the
laugh and go about saying, what a
jolly woman Mrs. S. u.s." etc.
Now please consider what an asset
that laugh was.
1t successfully concealed GOODNESS
and seli.interest: 1t won constant pop.
ularity. for an otherwise Commonplace
woman; It made infinitely more
friends for her in season than many
genuinely coHlial men and women
|'hpd In q, litstime! III "@ -
i Now am Sure somesofa my readers
are wondering what | mean by prals.
Ing such a woman Perhaps they are
saying. Il wouldn't be such hypo.
critic for anything" .
Nobody wants you to be kypocritHs,
my friends.
And am not pralsing the woman
am simply praislng the laugh.
] am taking 1t for granted that you
are one OF the genuinely cordial folks.
and, therefore, ! urge that you learn
to laugh as a self.cxpression, not as a
pretense. ~.
II a woman with no warmth In her
heart could make friends SO easily by
a pleasant laugh. think how much a
man or womap4w a really cordial
heart could do,
An attractive show window is nee.
essary to lure people into shop even
rs the things inside are gpst desira.
'ble. And SO even the most desirable
people cannot afford to be. entirely
without sho%.wihdoY; characteristic
such as good manners, the ability to
talk small talk, an agreeable pres.
ence and pleasant laugh. ~

FROM TEN STATES
Many Visitors From a Distance
Attend MidWinter Fair.
Nearly Fifty Towns Represented
on the Register.
CROWDS ARE LARGER.
More People Attend Than Did
Last Year.
Snapshots at Some of the At
tractiVe Booths.

The statement has often been made
that the crowds at the Midwinter ex-
position in Topeka are drawn almost
entirely from Topeka. This is not the
case as is shown by the addresses of
those who have registered at the var
ious booths where guessing contests
are being held.
Ten states and nearly fifty towns
have been represented at the Audi
forum thus far. Looking over the list
of registrations at the Knights and La
dies of Security booth where guessin g
is being carried on as to the total at
tendance at the Midwinter it is found
that 80 persons from 40 town other
than Topeka, and haiIing from eight
states, have taken chances. The
states included were Kansas, Missouri
Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, New
Mexico, Colorado and Utah.
Among the towns represented were:
Holton, Valley Falls, Oakley. Grant
ville Perry, Kansas City, Mo-. Win
field, Blue Rapids, Horton, Rossville,
Rice. Burlingame, Sedalia, Mo, Ell

bridge and crawling the dirt streets were
made by the mayor
Don't worry about this budget deficit
talk. The city of Topeka starts the year
1912 with clean slate. Not cent of
1912 taxes have been touched to pay ex-
penses. The city finances are in excel
lent shape and no net loss is recorded.
Il don't mean to knock on the Topeka
contractors remarked a Topeka bust
ness man today, but have noticed that
they make more muss and dirt on Il
street putting in a store front than the
average city contractor does building a
slzyscraper.'
The Commercial club is still interested
in Harvesting the Kaw to procure power
for manufacturing purposes. Secretary
J. Will Kelley wrote Congressman D. R.
Anthony today, asking him to push the
bill which he introduced in the house al
lowing a dam to be constructed in Topeka
or vicinity across the Kaw. A similar bill
has already passed the senate.
A basketball game will be played this
evening at the Central Y. NJ. c. A be-
tween the Washburn college freshm en-
team and the five of the Topeka high
school. On account of the fact that a
number of the players on the eollge team
were high school representatives last
year the game will be interesting to high
school and college people.

In speaking of contests there are a
number of them being conducted at
the show. AT the Emahizer & Spiel
man booth the people are asked to
guess the number of talking machine
needles that are contained in a bottle;
at the Ridenour-B Baker booth the num-
Der of coffee beans in a jar; at the
Robinson Shoe Co. booth the number
of shoe buttons in a jar; at the knights
and Ladies of Security booth the to-
tai number of persons in attendance
at the Midwinter, and at the booth
of the Topeka Milling company a
guess which consists of doing a little
problem in arithmetic.
Crowds Are Larger.
The crowds fiocking to the show are
larger than a year ago, and on this
score the management has no grounds
for complaint. Marsaalls band Of %
pieces furnished the music Thursday
the quality of music was of the kind
that pleased.
The persons in charge Of booths say
that they are doing more business than
they had anticipated. I'VE had no idea
that we would be so successful in the
demonstration of our salad dressing"
said Otto Kuehne Jr-, who has charge
eff q booth which is labeled with Il To
pe1a Made Goods" sign. I'VE had ex-
rected to display another line OF goods
but we decided to continue longer with
the salad on account of the interest
being taken in our demonstration"
c. M. Hill & Son have an interest
ing booth where Cni-Namel is being
demonstrated and souvenirs are being
dealt out.
The gelatin that IS being served at
the booth of the Davis Mercantile COM
pany is both good in looks and in the
eating and is another example of 'Tc-
peka Made Goods"
Because of the novelty of the article
the Onion salt co1npany's booth is at
tracing attention.
The boys are particularly interested
in the athletic goods on display at the
H. B. Howard booth.
