of amusement and concern to me.
She is so full of life-so anxious to
abstract all the fun and JOY from ev-

She bubbles out with laughter, and
is constantly on the lookout for new
way of extracting pleasure from ev-

In her anxiety to have good time
she often plays joke on herself, and
her sense of humor is great enough
to laugh at her own discontinue.
