PARLORs are parts of the home. They
are not rooms furnished and held sacred
for company, but are the domain of the
resident people. No visitor is as much
entitled to the "best room," as is the
owner and occupant. In many home
that is otherwise well-regulated, the
parlor is never seen, save when formally
opened in honor of the presence of some
parsonage that has no just claim upon the
mark of distinction. Its doors are kept
closed, the curtains never drawn, the
blinds never opened to admit the sun.
light and fragrant air of the outer world.
Open the parlors, live in them, be at
home there, it will add degree of refine
ment to the children, and make it more
inviting to the individuals you desire shall
share its privileges. Tenti1ation is neg
lected necessity. Fresh air is life, and its
absence is premature decay. The home
should be ventilated and we'll provided
with opportunities for continuing so. Its
observance will keep up the physical
spirit and stamina, the health at home
will be better, the dispositions of the
members of the family sweeter, every
thing will return thanks and manifest
gratitude if properly supplied with good
ventilation. Factory and Farm.
