But you used to cry and harrow every

your big scene III Mrs. Danes Defense
and The Great Divde'-both made people
ery-oh. so hard but always your tears
seemed like wonderful April showers de-
spite the note OF sadness in them, coming
as they did from a heart wrung-"
Miss Anglin broke in with her infectious
laugh.
I've always adored Margaret Anglin's
pretty Irish smile.
My tears let me tell YOU never came
from a heart sdrcharged.' said she. Il
have Nept real tears. but can turn them
on as easily as you can spgot They've
even said thai I'm so emotional that |
can't eat a lamb chop without weeping.
Heart tears Miss Angln went on,
are very dangerous, every woman knows,
and they pow ftlrrows in her cheeks, and
wash out the brightness from her eyes
and play awful havoc with her little
nose, and the average man is never
touched, bs red nosed lady, weeping on
his manly bosom. It's the little rain
droppy tears that chase each other mer-
mily down a woman's cheek and find a
resting place maybe in a dimple that are
. effective TO a degree. Really, tears are
a relic of the Dark Ages; they are entire
ly obsolete?" t
And the other side of the question
suggested do you consider the old
aphorism, Laugh and the world laughs
with you, solution of a woman's diff
culties generally
"a smile is only the other end of
tear Miss Anglm said, making a pretty
siinile.
The philosophy was perfect, and was
greatly interested.
"The tear at the end OF the smile
was my excuse for falling into comedy,
she said presently. Laughter is only
inverted emotion. Look at the logic of
lit: the man or woman who has no
lsense of humor can never succeed in
emotional roles. The reason is OBJ
vious. 1t is the sense of humor that
preserves our sense of proportion 1t
lprevents you many times from being
ridiculous, and saves many an awix-
ward situation. Laughter lies very near
| to real tears There is only a hair
line that separates-them.'
And between the two inter-
Irupteds
rs the safest ground" Miss Anglin
advised. Personally ] think the wom-
an who laughs gets the most out of
llife-she's the best liked, and the most
popular. The woman who has tears on
tap is very strenuous sort of person
and gets on ones nerves. terribly."

your Celia is shining example
which brings me to the point of ask
ling if you think every woman ought
10 get married--even IL she has to in
went a myth of man like your he
roine?'
Certainly" said Miss Angln. II be-
| lieve every woman should nave a COM
panion. / don't believe that to get
married a woman ought to marry just
lanybody. but l believe for every wom-
an there's the right man waiting
somewhere, and she's lucky when she
finds him..
| / may say incidentally that Miss
Anglin is scarcely over the "blushing
bride stage herself, having acquired
most charming and delightful hus-
! band Mr.. Howard Hull, about two
years ago.
| She's very much in love with him.
and you couldn't blame her IL you
knew him--and she's nightly proud
! that he's southerner.
| Hes from Kentucky" she told me
about two minutes after she'd intro
duced him yesterday, and she looked
SO pretty and SO happy and SO at
tractive when she said it, that I quite
understood why she chose smiles" be-
cause they are very becoming to her
OF course there's something in be-
ling from Kentucky. 1t presupposes SO
livery many attractive things.
