Household.
A pleasant coterie of friends were chat

home for an easy abandon not permitted
at home, that make the children place

deviation from the clean, orderly paths
of the household, is a primness to be
condemned rather than lauded, and a
happy mean is much to be preferred.
1t is true that the house where fire.
sides are not all too precise but systematic
and orderly, is less apt to be made Il
scene of upheaval in search of needed
articles, or to prove place where hur-

The little ones can easily contract habits

of example, even if he does not the wife
and mother can find excuse for him, and
train the younger members of the family

able search for some inanimate thing that

quietly restore order from chaos and
practice neatness unobtrusively will al
ways be the presiding genius of what will
be regarded an ideal home.
