Laughing Eyes.

That Wilkesbarre woman who caused the arrest of a girl on the charge that the latter used “laughing eyes” to “beguile” plaintiff’s young son experienced no sympathy at the hands of the court. The judge saw no legal or moral ground for the arrest. He not only set the girl free at once, but complimented her on the possession of those "laughing eyes.” So far as may be judged by the published report of the case, the court was eminently sound and wise. If anybody should be arrested and placed in confinement in connection with such a matter it is the young man himself. The ygung woman to*whom Providence has accorded the gift of laughing eyes is a blessing to- the community. There is too much sorrow, too much occasion for tears, in our sad old world, If any young fellow is in danger of being “beguiled” unduly by that Wilkesbarre style of optics, he should be placed in safe, if not solitary, confinement
