HUMOR
Some Definitions by English
Humorists.

From The London Daily Telegraph
\ writer in La Revue" NJ. Maurice
Dekobra, has been inviting representa-
tive humorists in various countries to
define "humor," and publishes the re-
suits of his inquiry in the current num-
Der of that periodical. Many of his cor
respondents declare the task to be an
impossible one, while others bring much
learning and ingenuity 10 bear on the
required definition
Eight well known English writer's con-
tribute their ideas on the subject. Mr..
G.. b. Shaw. whose own humor NJ. Deko-
bra says is saturated with ferocicus
irony" tersey dismisses the question in
these words: "Humor cannot be defined.
IL is a primary substance which makes
us laugh. You might as we'll try TO
prove a dogma.
Mr.. Jerome Is. Jerome writes: Il do
not think humor can be explained. |

by its drollery.'

is ir@nitely rarer TO meet a real sensi-

1T is this that makes unsatisfactory
the task Of giving an account of so many
efforts to gain public attention: we find
at every step judicious things. not badly
