While Ellen cautioned against frivolous jesting and trivial conversation, emphasizing the importance of meaningful and uplifting dialogue, she also appreciated appropriate humour and exhibited a warm personality. Here is one documented example:
In 1914, Ellen received a "hug-me-tight" vest from a friend in Japan. Upon trying it on, she found it didn't fit as expected. She humorously remarked that there was "a great deal more to her than some people thought," displaying her ability to laugh at herself and the situation.
