Suppose all the people in the world were exactly alike, had the same standards, the -same habits and 'meth-. ods of life, believed in the same things. had the same purposes? It would be a world so inexpressibly dreary- that probably w*e would be driven to unanimous suicide to rid ourselves of it. One of the greatest cmforts of life is the knowledge that while we have ro new experi ence and no new thoughts and there are no new situations. yet. each of us is essCntiallv different trom every boy else. Naturalists tell us that there are no duplicate-. N,- two things in nature. animate tor inanl mate. human tr animal. are precise l alike. Therefore we havc infinite variety andI no'thin.r is so mail. s' light. so trival that :t ha, not its uses. It is the habi: 'f manV excellent peo plc It. lol'k with :-me c.Intempt 1:p.n the frivol us and frivolitics. At varius times in tl:c world's history the experiment ti exterminating them has been tried: and. in fact, in various part7 if the worli the same experi menlt ';ometimes iS undertaken even U, nV. The 'Id Puritan- attempted nmake life altogether seri)us and sMlemn1. rigild and austere and the. es ablishe,l i rn-clad and rock-hound c des of conduct and principlie and ,pporte<l them with ali the power of religio:s in:inee. cf e%eil and domes tie authority. of the terrors of hell and the hopes of heaven. Against all these massive. grim and frownirg fortini cations the light. unseen waves of laughter rippled. the kindlier. brighter. gentler impulses and instincts of hu manity pressed: and the fortifications crumbled. tumbled and disappeared and frivolity danced in and claimed her share of the hunian life. even in New England. When we are monotonous we are wrong. unwholesome and unhealthy. Frivolity and the fri\olous have their places and uses .i life. and really are as important as the profoundest phil osophy. the philosophers and the mathematicians. The girl who swishes her skirts and kicks tip her heels and performs atrocious puns and even more atrocious music on the stage is valuable in her way as the serious theologian who in a cloistered re treat gives his mind to the knottiest and most intricate points of doctrine or explores the most awful mysteries. Aside from the fact that she may be -as frequently she is-in private life a sedate and decorous person, a faith ful wife with a strong domestic turn and a w'atchful mother. realize it is as useful to make people laugh as to make them think. A life without thought is empty and barren. a mere desert: and life without laughter is dark, desolate and gloomy, a mere dank and miserable cave. Those who are frivolous as a profession and make *frivolity their purpose in life are among the worst. most pervasive and tiresome nuisances that afflict humanity. Nothing is more pathetic than a man or woman come to middle age to decreptitude with no purpose but to try to make someb(,dy laugh. Nothing is more dreary or ghastly than a joke out of season or labori ously manufactured. Maturity or age without dignity and trying to caper vivaciously and to grin and grimace with the abandon of child hood is even more ridiculous and painful than a yotith which is one long, giggle. Yet, the people who are weighed down with their cown dig nity and unable to unbend from stiff ness -become chronic, and people who find nothing in life but the serious and solemn are equally repulsive and un profitable. The Power that created the frown ing and towering cliff gave the same pains to the fashioning and perfect ing of the daintest flower that sways obediently to the zephyrs. The Hand that made tlie fierce heart and twisted the mighty thews of the lion created the butterfly, gleaming and quivering in the summer sun. Frivolities are as necessary and pleasant as the flow ers and the butterflies. A world all cliffs and furious lions and a world all dainty flowers and painted butter lies wotuld be alike tiresome. We may have excesses in everything to make good bad and beauty weariness and satiety. Moderation and variety and kindly but reasonable sympathy with all the elements and parts of human ity make the way to the best happi ness and pleasure there is in life. Let us, therefore-the highest and most dignified and sanctified of us all-consent to listen with pleased ear to occasional prattle and non sense and laughter. Let us look with indulgence on the capers and grim aces of the buffon, paid or unpaid and of either sex, who is trying to amuse us. We may even put on 'the comedy mask ourselves sometimes and consent to do our share of the capering and most of tis will find that we feel rather better for it. There are plenty of times and occa sions to be strong and tragic and re morse, fear. anxiety and understand in-o athe mi;eries and dangers come to us unsought. Why not, then give warm and laughing welcome when frivolity come gaily laughing and dancing otir way. hastening the pass ing f the hours anld driving the dark ness from them with the flashes of light tnsteady but pleasant.
