Here was the occasion “*So this is a little girl, eh?’ I said to her as she displayed her children to me. ‘And this sturdy little urchin in the bib, belongs, I suppose, to the con- trary sex?’ “*Yassah,’ the woman replied. . dat’s a girl, too.” "— *Yas- S cost $2.50; course of six treatments, $12.00.

Com- monly the critic is an Englishman whose understanding of us has ripened over night. But occasionally it is a monitor, bone of our bone, who, seiz- ing upon some transient attitude or in- consequent expression of the hurrying crowd, proceeds to the easy pastime of general deduction. Thus speaks the Outlook in amiable admonition : ‘ hat the statement recently ts Just pow tbe most poo watriotle song in this country baw ‘dis- 2 good many people, it brings to Nght ot of humor ia a country a8 possessing, In ‘an un humor, "The ab- . th tion ‘Is one abseoce of of 8 It is not our purpose here to pur- Where singe SES, use a Goerz Lens Everyone interested R; in getting better itt results in photography -* should have our book Itgives the most complete and authoritative if on lenses that you can find anywhere, and shon {alls in non-techeical terms why the famous are superior to any others.

That Americans are lacking in a sense of proportion is a charge we shall not deny—having in- deed but recently freed our minds to that effect in this very column. That a sense of humor implies a sense of proportion we do not dispute, for we have said the same thing ourselves. Thus far we are flattered—our tinkling cymbals are in tune with the big drum beaten in Fourth Avenue; the belled cap bows as an equal to the mortar board. Yet conscience may prick even him who jests in earnest, and common sense may restrain him. It is a temp- tation to tickle the Outlook in return for its unconscious compliment; but conscientiously we cannot. The im- mense circulation of Lire forbids: from the hearths of a hundred thou- sand homes (a gross understatement which we trust will be condoned for the sake of the alliteration)—from the hearths of innumerable homes, we say, a chorus of paid subscribers swells in 483 NEW YORK mirthful denial that they lack the seax of humor. Besides, there are other reasons why we are not wholly in accord with te Outlook. For one thing, it is nt wholly in accord with itself.
