eyes, or soulful blue eyes, without
ever once observing whether the
said eyes look on the funny side Of
life or take a dark pessimistic
bilious view Of it. Which is one Of
the reasons that domestic life is. no
merry jest to the average husband.
A sense os humor is desirable in
man, but it is absolutely essential
for a woman to have a sense of
humor if she is to be an agreeable
side partner, because a WOman'S eX-
lstence is made up Of little, nagging
things at which she must either
laugh or cry, and if she can't laugh
them off, they get on her nerves,
and she goes to pieces.
1t Is the neurotic, haggard women,
who can't see a joke even after it is
dlagrammed for them, who fill the
insane asylums and the sanitariums
and divorce courts. The women who
wear the smile that won't come off,
and whose laughter is set on a hair
trigger, get to be fair, fat and forty,
and you couldn't pry their husbands
away from them with a crowbar.
1t is the lack Of a sense of humor
that causes women to make TRACE
dies instead Of comedies out of
trifles.
Take the servant trouble, for in
stance. Women worry themselves
sick over the mistakes of a green
maid, and it never occurs to them
that the very blunders that they
are shedding tears over are scream
ingly funny contretemps that they
pay out money to see initiated in a
sketch on the VAUDEVILLE stage.
OF course, no one wants the soup
t. be reasoned with sugar instead
Of salt, nor the waste-paper basket
to be put on the mantel as a parlor
ornament as a perpetual thing, but
the mistress who can get a laugh
instead of a sikc headache out of the
mistakes Of the Norah or D;nah,
fresh from the bogs of ireland or
the fields, saves ner own
fee and that OF the maid whom
she later trains into being a good
servant.
