How Humor Straightens Out the Family Kinks-Laugh and the World Laughs With You.

I think that in every household the woman with the sense of humor is the rarest-and therefore the most prec- ious personality.
 honestly believe that if women could see more clearly the funny side of things lots of the trouble in mar ried life especially would be dispelled.
 The child who Is keen to see where a laugh will bridge over a rebuke, or shame the parents quarreling over something really unimportant, is go- ing to escape lots of those sore and distressful bedtime moments. For not going to be swamped in some dis tuxbance resulting line times out of ten, from the nerves of father or mother being out of gear.

 gets red when he scolds mother" or Mother, your pretty collar Is getting around to the back of your neck"
 Perhaps he just chuckles and looks SO sincerely amused at his parents foolishness, that the grown-ups realize their own absurdfty. What started out to be a first class genteel row ends in a happy, hearty frolic, in which the little peacemaker takes the prominent part.
 In married life. of course, you can't always be ready to turn the serious problems of household finance. sick ness. and the worries of "help'' that do not help, into a joke. But you can laugh off a great many of the troubles, if you will see just how much more serious things could be, and just make up. your mind to not ssfuea."
 | know intimately a couple who are prone to say some pretty keenly un- kind things to each other, though know they would scratch the eyes out of anyone else who dared to say a single word derogatory to either. They were brought up with round turn the other uay, ending in a good laugh, by hearing their small daugh- ter give an imitation with her Teddy Bear of the quarrel, which had seem ed almost serious enough to threaten complete disruption and divorce. ''If we are as silly as that" they argued, "it's high time we got some sense" = Thereupon. the funny fea- tures loomed up more prominently than the serious ones, and the im- pending disaster was happily averted.
