Humor in the Family
(iood humor is rightly rockoccd a moat
valuable aid to happy home life. An is|iml

mor, or the capacity to have a little fun
along with the humdrum cares and work of
life. We ail know how it brightens up
tilings generally to have a lively, witty com
panion, who sees tlie ridiculous points of
tilings and who can turn au annoyance iuto
an occasion for laughter. It is a great deal
la-tier to laugh over some domestic mishaps
than to cry or scold over them. Many
Ilona's and lives arc dull la-cause they are
allowed to lieotane too dts'plv
