Let not cost be mistaken fCr comfort
Many housekeeper sighs for new fur
niture, when taste and good judgment,
and possibly that absolute essential,

er OUTLAWS should never be giudgcd;
for where can money be SO well spent
as in making home cheerful? But The
best comforts are those within the
reach Of all. Where love and true po-
likeness and cordial manners prevail, a
home can very easily be made pleasant.
1t is no slight thing to have cheerful
dwellings,. A house should be made
attractive to the busy mother, who
tolls in it the day through; to the faith
er who comes home wearied in his
care; to the children who are all the

CHEERFUL HOUSES.

What sort of house do you live in !?
We do not ask whether it is costly on
cheap, wide or narrow, of three stories
or one Whether it is in the city or
country, we care not, 1t may COM
mand fine prospect, it my be shut iii
by sand-banks, or by higher buildings
These things are incidental. But we
ask, is your house cheerful? Outsides
have very little to do with this ques-
tion; it is a matter Of inside care and
taste. Other people see the exterior
of houses; we live inside They pass
along, and look but moment; we
stay in our rooms long hours, days,
and months Now we assert that the
pleasantness of u house depends al
most wholly on the way in which it is
kept" The grandest mansion can be
made gloomy and repulsive, contribu
ting to splendid misery" Some of
the toughest, cheapest houses are
cbeeriest to live in. There is an air of
comfort about all the rooms, n home
likeness which gladdens the heart.
What makes the difference? We ask
chiefly by way of suggestion, but we
may be allowed to offer two or three
hints to those who can use them. Let
there be plenty of sunlight in your
house. Don't be afraid of it. God
floods the world with light, and it
costs you an effort to shut it out. You
want it as much as plants, which grow
sickly without it, 1t is necessary to
your health, spirits, good-nature, and
happy influence. Let sunlight stream
freely in. Sydney Smith used to say,
in his CHEEKY tones, "glorify the room,
and the shutters were opened wide TO
the god of day. Flowers and vines
are good in their place, but never al
low them TO keep out the sun. Let
every room be thoroughly ventilated.
Light and fresh dir should go togeth-
err. We called awhile ago on some
most excellent people. who showed us
into the parlor. 1t was a bright elias
tic day without, and the house was
prettily situated. But within that
room it was cheerless and dreary. Abom-
Unable close blinds were on the win
dows, and struggling vines made them
hard to open. The air was almost sti-
fling. The furniture was handsome,
but it could not shine; there was
pretty boquet on the table, but its
beauty was nearly useless. Entertain
ers and entertained were alike languid;
their conversation was stale and fiat,
if not Improbable, That house wan
ted light and fresh air; these, and
cheerful, hearty bearing, would have
made visitors glad to stay As it We're,
they were glad to go. We do not be-
heye in keeping best room for rare
company. We think the dwellers in a
house, those who are there constantly,
and to whom above all, it needs to be
made pleasant, should enjoy its best
parts. We do not believe in having a
carpet which will not bear the light.
How absurd to keep its flowers bright,

ABOUT NOSES The Grccian nose,
models Of which are preserved in an
Gent statuary, is considered the high
est type of nasal beauty. The Roman
nose is another type, which is indica-
tive Of firmness and good sense. Then
there are pug noses, and noses in the
air, supercihous noses, earnest noses,
noses out Of Joint, and noses thrust
where they do not belong Pug noses
are not handsome. Noses in the air
tell that their possessors are on the
lookout for the main chance; they in
dictate that they are Of an inquiring
state of mind, and scent bargain, as
the horse does the battle, from affair.
Supercihous noses are the peculiar
property of those who smell acutely.
Fine women are frequently the owners
of this fortunate feature. These are
the ladies who expect to monopolize
the best seats in the street cars, and
look superciliously and turn up their
supercihous noses if any unusual jam
causes the exquisite symmetry Of their
belongings to be infringed upon. They
accept the seat of weary man with
out the most distant recognition of the
courtesy They smell a mechanic 9
block removed, patronize the opera
and when they can afford it ride in &
carriage. There are men with super
cilious noses, but contact with the worlC
usually takes the quality they repre-
sent out of them. Earnest noses be
long to earnest men and women, VIII,
despise the frivohties Of life, and max,
existence serious matter. They ar,
intelligent and active, and in whateve
they engage business, politics, or re
hgion they work with their whole
soul. The great workers are carnes
men, and rejoice in earnest hoses; mos
women and some men are so distin
guished. A slight nose is no unpleas
ant feature, but if large amounts tC
deformity. \ turn up nose in a wo
man indicates good nature, as n thin
straight nose indicates the vixen. Those
who thrust their noses into matters
which do not concern them, constitute
2 great portion Of what IS called sooi
ETY.. No sex, class, or profession is ex
empt from their impertinence. These
are the persons who peep behind mus
lin curtains, to see if Mrs, Blank is no
receiving visits in the absence Of hel
husband; they wonder where DR.
Brown will get a new wife, and pity
poor Mrs. A. because Of the neglect o
her husband; they may make and UNI
make marriages; and drive neighbor'
to destruction, and husbands and wives
to destruction.

WH1EIs My WIFE "A correspon-
dent who has not seen his wife for
three weeks, asks the Round Table
where she can be found. The lady re-
feIred TO has been seized with the San
itary Fair fever, aad the poor husband
says.
'For two months she was out most OF
the time calling upon persons to- solicit
their aid for this most deserving char
ity; and when she was at home l could
get no chance to see her, for she was
overrrln with callers, each one having
very important business. Bundles 81
all shapes and sizes began to arrive
The garnet was long since filed with
them, and the balance has been stored
in the back parlor. But my wife was
so earnest (she is positively bewitching
in her enthusiasm that l hadn't the
heart to refuse, so went to work and
help carry the bundles in the house
and store them where she wished.

II have hung about the building III

her, but in vain Everybody has sect
her, but nobody can tell where she is.
This week l have been about the new
building now erecting on Union Square,
and have heard of her time and time
again, but have not seen her. Once l
thought I caught a glimpse Of her
dress whirling around the corner Of
Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue,
and l started to run, but owing to the
wound received while / was in the ar

CHILDREN's FEEr,-A writer for Halls
Journal Of Health, says that life long
discomfort, disease, and sudden death,
often come to children through the in
attention or carelessness of parents. A
child should never be allowed to go to
sleep with cold feet; the thing to be
last attended to, in putting child to
bed, should be to see that the feet are
dry and warm. Neglect of this has
often resulted i'll dangerous attack
of Group, diptheria, or fatal sore throat.
Always, on coming from school or Ell.
tering the house from n visit or GRAND,
in rainy, muddy, or thawy weather,
the child's shoes should be removed,
and the mother should herself ascer-
tain if the stockings are the least
damp, and If SO should require them
to be taken of, the feet held before
the fire and rubbed with the hand un-
til perfectly dry, and another pair of
stockings be put on and another pair
of shoes, while the other stockings
and shoes, should be placed where
they can be well dried, so as TO be
ready for future use at moments no.
tice. Tight slroes inevitably arrest the
free circulation of the blood and ner-
vous influences through the feet and
directly cause cold feet; and health,
with habitually cold feet, is an impos-
sibility.
