Psychology Of Laughter.

In his book, "A Raw YOUTH" Dos
toevsky has page on laughter, which
he regards as the surest test of the
heart, and suggests that girl may
well choose her husband when In
doubt by the quality of his laugh.
which will be a symptom of his ma
ture, for to know how to laugh Is
gift. "A man will sometimes give
himself away completely by his laugh.
and you suddenly know him through
and through" Most essential in good
laughter is sincerity and freedom from
malice. A sincere laugh, free from
malice. Is gayety.
"a mans gayety is what most be,
trays the whole man from head to
foot. Sometimes one will be for long
time unable to read character. but II
the man begins to laugh his whole
character will suddenly lie open before
you. And so If you want to see into
man and to understand his soul dom
concentrate your attention on the way
he talks or Is silent, on his tears OF
the emotion he displays over exalted
ideas. You will see through him bet
ter when he laughs"
