THE ART OF GI i LI\G.
Giggling girls constitute a large
number of the sex tor.neil, with
more gallant;v than justice. in these
days of wontfln's rights, fair. They
are co ppcIous o lly enough,
more by the absence of any great
vice than by the presence of any in
finitesimal virtue. Such specimens
you meet with everywhere-they
cannot be limited peaceably or for
cibly, and are distinguished by a
class peculiarity-they giggle. The
phrase, we confess, is somewhat un
translatable, for it is an etymologi
Cal nudity, and absolutely meaning
less. The art of giggling is more
readily explained, for it is pictur
ewlue in its abrnptues3, scientific in
development, fascinating in delivery,
and graceful at the depth.
(ighling, a'ccrding to Webster,
is a "kind of laugh with short
catches of the voice and breath." The
bareness of the definition is only
equaled by its uniiitclligibility. The
better pl:tn to un lerstniad the word
and its actions is personally to en
couute: a gigh (er, ani si will
elaberately 1isip'a., in all its ale
'iance of outl te and siml'diits of
'eaai!, the beauty and quality of the
giggle. The omnipresence of the
giggler saves a le, of trouble so,
without delay, yeu p,'unge it we
dia res. You wish her good day.
She smiles. Inquire " her health.
Another smiile. Hope her parents
are well. The sniiles 1 : thenm.
Emboldened at vo:ir fav -"t' le re
eIption, although in doubt as to
what has caused the repeated
smiles, you cough a little and, with
an air of thi dcepest interest, asks
her opinion of the latest drama at
Wallack's. Smiles in re!,ly. Does
she admire Hamlet ? A faint titter
is the reqlonse. Perhliance now
you venture the perftctly truthful
remark that it looks like rAin, and
that if it rains it will be wet. At
once you have evolve 1 out of the
depth of her inner conscientious
ness a genuine giggle. Watch its
appearance in its three stages of
dcv'lopment, a la. Compte, birth,
maturity, decay-and spectroscope
the result with you pen for the
benefit of science.
The giggle commences at the
mouth, with certain twitches in the
neighborhood of that organ. The
lips part, the teeth-mute witnesses
of the dentist's skill-are exposed
to view. The teeth unclasp, and,
snake-like, the tongue appears coiled
up in the background. Next the
head is slightly irehod and thu eyes
slowly close. At the eyes, then, the
giggle matures. The ey.s clo.-ie in
earnest, the nostrils dilate, and for
a time giggle play around the rav
isbing nose like lightning about a
mountain peak. The fascinating
face becomes wrinkl d and shows
as many lines of beauty-in the
Hogarthian vein-as an India a
ber head stretehcd to an angle of
forty five degrees. At this stage
the giggler is supposed, lv hcrself.
to be bewitching, and so, to heighten
the effect aird the general enchant
ment there theni is a reduplicated
fluttering of the wand like fan, a
depression of the he:Ld and inclina
tion of the form. Rhe third period
of development is now uskered in.
The giggles begin to grow beauti
fully loss, a fierce conflict between
the centrifugal and centripetal
forces, the convolutions becomes
more and more refined, tlhe giggles
shorten, eyes open, teeth shut,
mouth closes-and the giggle iis
oter.
Goon LAWOUAGE.-Young people
should acquire the h hbit of correct
speaking and writing, and aban
don as early as possible any use of
slang words or phrases. The longer
you put this off the more difflcult
the acquirnment of correct language
will be; and if the golden age of
youth, the proper season for the
acquisit'on of langoage, be passed
in its abuse, the unrortunate victim
will mast probably be doomed to
i talk slang for life. You have mere
Ily to use the language which you
read, instead of the slang which von
hear, to form a case in agreement
with the best ussekeus and poets in
the country.
