You could write the seven ages of man by showing how at each age we change in what we laugh at. It takes a keen mind to appreciate delicate wit. We are even more ready to laugh than to eat or sleep.

So, by transfer, you laugh at the incongruous, which you still call the ridiculous, provided it doesn't arouse any other opposed feelings. When a man offers you a ridiculously low price for something you have to sell, you may laugh in scorn, but you are real- 1y insulted to think that he holds any- thing belonging to mighty you so cheaply. mrl‘-‘o:(c\'x;lrr age Rl“d every year or sea-,good deal of the psychology of the e age there is some favorite yarious periods to which they belong.

It's fine that boys are interested in a question which great psychologists like Sully and Bergson and Freud have con- sidered. Why do we laugh and what do we laugh at? It takes & human being to laugh. The best a dog can do s to frisk and a cat can purr, about as an infant gur- gles. Real laughter is mental. To laugh you must take in a situation. Though we laugh when we are pleased or amused, laughter expre: more which singing or humming would do as well. There's & note of triumph in laughter. You laugh when you come out first best. A laugh is & pleasant joke on the other fellow. If you can put him in a hole, so much the more fun for you. Hence practical jokes and ridicule. Laughter makes you feel superior, by making the other fellow feel inferior; but it musn't be unfeeling. The superi- ority must remain well within the limits of a joke and not really hurt much. Laughter follows the sec-saw of self- esteem. The small child laughs héartily when you pretend that he is getting the bet- ter of you: when you tussle with him but tumble over at his lightest blow. When a man's hat blows off {t is the funnier the more dignity the man has. When a child’s or a tramp's hat blows off neither has much_dignity to lose and as’the child is helpless you pity it. A child doesn’t look out of place with- out a hat, but the well-dressed man does. You can laugh at something on the stage, because you are out of the situa- tion, for you always identify yourself with the man who does the laughing, not the man laughed at, unless the teasing is cruel, when you pity, or the sacred is made light of, when you grow Indignant saying, “That's nothing to laugh at. You laugh when the clown is tripped over by the smart man, but you laugh more heartily when the tables are turn- ed and the clown bowls the smart man over, You laugh at failure in any form, because you feel superior to the one who fails. You laugh when the bald man tries to catch a fly on his head and fails, and you laugh (or tend to) because the absence of hair is a little bit of failure, for the expectation is that it should be there. But the bald mc{\ in the audience do not laugh at _it. You laugh at other people’s mis- takes or clumsiness, because you feel that you wouldn't be in that situation. You laugh at a big man with a squeaky voice; you laugh when the cornetist blows a false note; you laugh at a monkey because it is such a caricature of a man; you make fun of a foreigner who speaks with an accent because you don't; u laugh at awkwardness and embarrassment, at anything falling short of the fully expected human situ- ation. You don't mind a little sting if the other fellow is stung; but it must be teasing rather than punishment.
