That afternoon saw Allison headed
back for New York, and the next

the Pacific Slope and Puget Sound,
where he secured a rental privilege to
run the trains OF the Orange Valley

Los Angeles, over the tracks OF the

far away from any possible connection

that bargain was easy.
That night Allison, glowing with an
exultation which erased his fatigue,

LAUGHING AT SERIOUS THINGS
Attitude Of the World Has Long Been
Matter Of Complaint Among
the Reallsts.

Many creative dramatists seek to
draw men and women with remorse-
less realism. Now, 1t is exactly this
remorselessness OF the artist which
gets him into trouble with number
OF different sections OF our world. He
is unhinching in his portrayal, and
men do not like unflinching portrait
painters.
They want the picture touched up
by some indulgent and benevolent
philanthropist. The realist refuses to
play with what he deems to be the
truth. AT the time when the younger
Dumas was writing extremely inter.
esting though not altogether persua-
sive prefaces to his plays and was
particularly occupied with some Of the
destructive activities OF modern wom-

things we ought to laugh at and the
things We ought not to laugh at.

he wrote, ito laugh at serious things "
It is often our habit--especlally in mu.

things.
But, according to Dumas, the only
right attitude is to laugh at things
which are not serious, and which
make no pretension Of being serious.
When we are face to face with a
grave social danger 1t is a very Gu
rious sort of wisdom which dismisses
such subjects with laugh.

Had They Spoiled Herr

Music resounded in the parlors OF
Jim Sargent's house; music so sweet
and compelling in its harmony that
Aunt Grace slipped to the head Of the
stairs 10 listen in mingled ecstasy and
pride. Up through the hallway hoated
a clear mellow soprano and a rich,

that they seemed twin tones. Aunt

could not resist, crept down to where

night in her simple dove-colored gown

piano. while towering above her, with
his chest expanded and a look OF per
feet peace on his face, stood Rev.
Smith Boyd.
Enraptured Aunt Grace stood and
listened until the close of the ballad.
Leafng through her music for the next
treat, Gail looked up at the young doc.
tor and made some smiling remark.
Her shining brown hair, waving about
her forehead, was caught up in n
simple knot at the back, and the deli.
cate color Of her cheeks was like the
fresh glow Of dawn. Rev. Smith Boyd
bent slightly to answer, and he too,
smiled as he spoke; but as he hap.

scared, ran back up the stairs and into
her own room, where she took a book,
and held It in her lap, upside down.
The remark which Gail had made was
this:

professionally"
The reply Of the rector was;

laughed, then returned nervously to
