A ride through those portions OF our
thriving city allotted to residences,
will develop the fact to the most cas-.
ual observer that our people are paying
more attention to the painting and
ornamenting OF their homes, aud the
planting OF flowers and shrubbery
than they have ever done before.
Strangers visiting us are apt to Judge
Of the degree OF our prosperity, refine
ment and taste by the appearance Of
our grounds and residences, and since
the humblest home can be made to
bear the evidences OF the culture Of It's
inmates, let no one wait to plant a
flower, lay out n walk, whitewash or
paint fence, because their houses are
rough and plain. The tender hand Of
woman, bent upon making her little
home sweet and attractive TO It's In
mstvs, vah, always nuu work Tor itself.
When nimble fingers and delicate
taste can do much toward making the
humblest surroundings pleasant to the
eye and refreshing to the world weary
soul faint with the struggle for life,
the battle for bread, the more attrac-
tive homes are made, the less charm
the gaming table, the billiard room,
the tinsled mediocrity Of the naked
drama or the liquid poisons Of the bar
rooms, will have for husbands, fathers
and sons, who now nightly haunt
them surreptitiously, and exc out u
guilty pleasure in having their baser
passions thus pandered to, to their ul-
innate ruin and shame.
