WOMAN and HUMOUR
A DEFENCE AND AN EXPLANATION
Misa Marjorie Harrison in this article vigorously attacks the conviction firmly rooted in the minds of men that they possess a greater sense of humour than women. She says, on the contrary, that it is women who have the greater appreciation of the humorous, and to her aid in that contention she brings Mr. Herbert Marshall and Mr. Ben Travers
If there is one thing more than another in which, women. differ from men in their opinions it is sense of humour. Most men believe that women possess this quality in a very limited degree, while every woman knows that it is the virtue most appreciated but most seldom found in a man.
othes farces, hus said frankly "that women have a far keener sense of humour than men," and adds the enlightening remark that "that means a woman does not laugh as readily,"

A Saving Sense.
I wonder how many tragedies have been saved by a sense of comedy. How many people must have given up the idea of putting their heads in gas ovens because, in the midst of overwhelming de- pression, they have been able to see the absurdity of the situation ?
A sense of humour in man or woman is both, born and fade. It is born of imagination and made keen and fine by the sledge hammer blows of life. It is often the great compensation for a very bad time. The fine flower of humour rarely blooms in extreme youth the time when life is very real and earnest.
A similar sense of humour is a delightful thing to encounter. It is one of the strong links of friend- ship and a great bond between two people..
