do NOT pretend To- guess. hut the th'
remains that thcy arc few. and, IN
view of the proponderancc ~ male
u,trthmakers. the question naiufhllN
arises whether women are r"AllY
lacking In the ahility To make
house laugh.
In spite Of what may be said. how
ever. I refuse 10 admit that they lose
anything 20 mon na far nh hutnor ~
concerned That women can be
really and truly funny iE abaolutely
pro,cd hy the fact that somo of thCm
have attained top rank Ms Comodi-
.npos I,their ranks arc thin. thore
is q reason for IT. Women arc not
generally encouraged 10 he funny.
In the family circle the hoy who
can sing comic song with guHto or
turn a drull countcnance is applnud
ed as clever. But let tho embryo
comcdionnc attempt To demonstrate
the powers Of humor with which ma =
turo has equipped her and she VIII

havior. And so the girl, whose IN

life. Sho is given the impression
that TO bc funny for the purpose OF
amusing her follows Ia mot quite
good form"
Many young romedionne IL thus

At the same time do not intend

for woman to he funny than for n
man.
A man. for instance, IS almost sure
TO raise laugh by appearing In some
grotesque costume, featuring big
boots and prehistoric hat, but girl
will not impress her audience no

expect something daintier and more
original from her. She has therefore
bigger Job to get "A laugh"
Another reason why II is difficult
for girl to make a name as n come
dienne liz that somehow or other tho
public do not expect woman TO be
funny. II she proves to he they will
recognize II certainly, but their ex-
pectation is that the comedienne-
unless. fcourse. she has "a reputa-
tion as comedy artist-will leave
them mirthless.
In fact, circumstances combine to
freeze the genial current of feminine
humor. Women should not be
blamed n they fail to shine with such

how Il happens. The kidneys are worked
hard enough in healthy times. They
have to filter the blood. In any germ
disease the blood Ii loaded with extra
poisons made by the disease germs. This
Overwork tends to weaken the kidneys.

When Death cools HI. stIno.

There is In the West Indies q very
curious superstition regarding death.
When death occurs In a house all
the water in 1t should be regarded
as poisoned and at once thrown away.
The idea is that death after claiming
his victim will cool his "sting" in the
first water he reaches, which thereby
becomes a deadly poison. No one can
tell what water has been touched, 80
the safe thing to do is to get rid Of
all that is within his reach and do
It at once,
