melancholy and one of gladness consists
mainly in the position of the outer
angles Of the mouth. The putting into
practice of the maxim not to let the
sad lines dominate the countenance, but
to insist on keeping the Others there as
far as possible, means much for the cor
rection of internal feelings of depression
and Encouragement that may be badly
interfering with the flow of nerve impulses
from the brain to the body.
And, speaking specifically of the effect
of hearty laughter on digestion and cir
culation, he adds
"There is no doubt that the exercise for
the diaphragm afforded by hearty laugh
ing, with the stimulation of the intra-
abdominal circulation consequent upon
vigorous diaphragmatic movements is an
important element in producing healthy
state of the important organs of the hui
man economy contained within the abb
dominal cavity.
doctor Abrams, in his book, The
Blues, Causes and Cure attributes this
disturbing condition of depression, so
familiar to those who have much to do
with nervous patients, to a disordered
blood and nerve circulation in the splanch-
mic 1.-THE abdominal area, and calls it,
scientifically, splanchnc neurasthenia.
"This undoubtedly sums up an impor-
tant element in the causation of a great
many Oppressive conditions. Most of
them are banished by frequent laughter,
which, with its exercise of the diaphragm,
tends to stimulate splanchnic blood
vessels and nerves.
Bearing facts like these in mind, can it
longer be doubted that people make
great mistake when they deliberately re-
strain every impulse they may have to
laugh? What they then are doing is to
deny themselves an unfailing means Of

Big Pay for Laugh Makers

AND, most fortunately, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of those who would
have mankind forgo the habit of laugh
ter, there is warrant for the belief that
this good habit can never be successfully
attacked. / said in the beginning that
there never was time when men had
greater need of laughter than to-day.
Signs are not lacking that the people Of
to-day instinctively appreciate this.
More than ever before, laugh-makers
are in demand-as witness, for example,
the fabulous sums earned by Charlie
Chaplin and Bud Fisher. No newspaper
would feel complete without its humorous
paragraphs, if not its comic supplement-
Theatrical managers and the makers of
moving-picture plays compete feverishly
in the production of Notwithstanding
comedies and farces.
In all this the foes of laughter see only
evidence that ours is frivolous, degener-
ate age. In reality, it is evidence that
ours is one of the wisest of ages-an age
too wise to be cheated out of its splendid
aid to successful living, the birthright OF
laughter.

Oliver was torn, us usual, between the
beckoning pleasures of Florida and Cali
fornia. For time he considered Tipping
a coin; but he finally determined to solve
the problem by visiting each in turn. As
he sat at breakfast one morning in De-
cember, enjoying the peace of mind fol-
lowing this decision, letter with the
legend "Opened by Censor stared up at
him from the pile beside his plate.
He picked it up. The postmark was
Paris, the handwriting that of his friend
Ben Coolidge, who had played next to
him on scrub football team. Oliver
smiled; he liked Coolidge.
For the love of Mike Coolidge began in
that admirable diction encouraged by the
Harvard English Department., where are

divers breath came quickly rs he
read. Reaching the end of the letter, he
rose from the table and paced the floor.
Before him opened vista of thrills, of
excitement, beside which Florida tennis
was child's play. Why hadn't he thought
of it himself?
1t was because he thought so little-but
he didn't know that. He had apprehended
the existence Of a war. For time he had
read about it faithfully; it had been like
football game, with the teams swaying
back and forth across the muddy field.
Then it had settled down to the trenches,
with paltry fivo-yard gains, and Oliver
had become one of the great unthinking
army whom it bored.
But now-what o chance! How lucky
that he had learned to manage an aero
plane.

mate understanding Of one another. Their
laughter quickens their sense OF human
solidarity; it educates them to sympa-
thize more truly with their associates.
This function laughter retains through all
ages of life. Every man who laughs with
and at his friends, in unmalicious "iolly-
ing knows full well, at least subcon-
sciously, that his laughter and theirs helps
to cement the seal of friendship. In social
intercourse of every sort, in the business
of the mar1et-place as in the hour of
leisure, laughter has smoothing, easing
influence.

We laugh, he says, at the mechanical,
the stupid, the artificial in ourselves and
in our fellows, in order to correct these
blemishes in us and in them.
This undoubtedly is true. Laughter
does have the value of social corrective.
But it is of still greater value as de-
veloper of social sympathy. When chill

students of the subject-notably the emf
nent French thinker Bergson-are so inn
pressed by its social helpfulness as almost
to lose sight Of its value as regards the
physiological effects it has on the one who
laughs. Bergson's view, to state it in a
few words, is that the main purpose OF
laughter is to act as social corrective.

AIDED by an alarm clock borrowed from
the butler, Oliver actually made the eff

lied that in introducing Oliver and the
Office he had hung milestone about
his firms neck. He arranged to have

list to active membership in two good

to resign from stocks and bonds. Since
he was not to receive salary at first,
Oliver withdrew without suffering the
humiliation Of having silver cross his
palm. In business, as in all things he re-
tained his amateur standing.
So there began for Oliver period of
sportive leisure. Golf, tennis, automo-

taught flying, he bought him an asroplane.

in accord with the man who was to
take from him his motherless Molly,
and he tried to quel the fear for her
which arose in him. Moreover, Bert
represented the new life which stretch
ed before him, and he was not quite
ready for it now that the time had
come. He was an old man, he real
lied, and it is dangerous matter to
uproot old trees. He had lived the
best years of his life in this city, had
worked here, and had married here.
and had built up his fortunes here, and
here had occupied a position Of some
honor and respect. And. try as he
would, he could not look with too
much confidence upon achieving the
same thing as stranger in strange
place.
1t was all wrong, he told himself,
and he would not even be properly
thankful for the crumb Of luck which
he had wrested from the bygone feast.
In his pocket he had the check which
removed him from the nerve racking
fluctuations Of his street car fortunes.
which insured Molly and Bert and
himself an entrance into new life
and new opportunities. which made
him safe from Sledge. and yet he felt
no great exultatiOn.
1t was relief to him when Molly
had him called to look at her where
she stood at the head Of the stairs in
her bridal gown. fresh and glowing
vision in her pure. shimmering white.
The sight Of her gave him thrill OF
hopefulness too, the first of the day.

up to her. II declare, don't see how

with me so long as this"
That's nice daddy" she gayly as
sured him.
Bert came in from the conservatory
for the glimpse of her which he was
to be permitted, and naturally he
spoiled the picture by starting to dart
upstairs, an action which had the re-
suit Of sending not only Molly and
Fern, but the admiring maids scurry-

"When?" he wheezed.
Right away. This afternoon!
They're being married now!
Although there were to be no guests
at the Marley wedding. the house was
naturally in state Of much tensity as
the time approached. Molly. for two
hours before the minister was to ar

touches Of her toilet, which was fully
