Thus far the weather has been very

1t is doubtful whether the male head Of
u falnily often-appreciates the opporiuni-
~ he has fer diffusing sunshine at home,
or c0mprelends how much gloom he can
bring with him in troubled face and
moody temper from the Office or the
street. The house mother is within four
walls from morning till dinner time, with
few exceptions, and must bear the woiri-
nlents of fre;ftll children, inefficient SER
wants, shattered nerves and unexpected
callers. And she must do this day after
day, with monotouuus regularity. The
husband goes out from the petty details
of home care. lie meets friends. He
feels the excitement of business compe-
titIoa. He has the bracing influence Of
the outdoor walk or ride. Ii he will come
home cheerful and bouyant- his presence
is like u refreshing breeze. He has it in
his power to brighten the household life,
and add to the general happiness i'll a
way that no man has the right to forget
or neglect.

An admirer Of the late Secretary Froling-

the first week Of Mr.. Frenghuysen as "a

manuscripts. composed largely Of letters
