Your Laughs Timed.

There are lots Of things in the vDrFs
that you don't know anything about.
and one of them is that whenever yoW
laugh in the theater. thei is a stage
manager just out of sight around thY
proscenium, holding q stop-watch or
you, and trying to time your share i'm
the performance. He is also timing
you for a record" but that is Incl
dental and one of his pleasures, thar
later he may boast to other stage
managers. His actual business is to-
see how much or how little you play
his farce for him. II you think that a.
laugh is a laugh and that ends it-a
mere volatile and fugitive and egg
bullion without form or substance, you
are too much addicted to your own
point of view. A laugh to the stage
manager is just as integral and sub
stantial thing as a sack of meal

Success and Failure.

Those who have suffered through
failure may turn success into noble
uses. Though they may perceive the
insincerity of the success-lovers they
may be tolerant enough to recognize
It as m=rely one of the many forms of
human weakness. And on those who
while they were still failures treated
them with consideration they may
pour tho sunshine of their favor. Per
haps in their success they will realize
that there is one thing that seems al
most as Tad as flattery. and that is the
fear of success, which comes both
from envy and JEALOUSY, as well as
from the realization of the cruelty thai
successful people so often practice.
