about as many boy children in Geor-

she has been married a year or two.
Poor thing ! She never knew what a
good home she had until she left it.
and by-and-by she comes creeping
back pale and sad. and the man she
trusted goes another way. That is
the wreck of life. No more happi-

wonder long time before they marry.
A fathers house and a mothers love
