HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
MRS S. A. NETTI.B.


Two uoa1Es-A long time since the
busy clerks have left the offices that
the full tide of care floods from morn
ing till night; but still the weary
book-keeper works Oh, adding col
umn after column of figures, until,
finally, all is clear. With fevered
brain, nervous, irritable, possibly dis
heartened, he starts for the home that
holds what most he cares for-hls
wife and little ones.
Instead of kiss end word Of
cheer, his wife glances up only, and
says, 81 do wish, John, you would
come home earlier; the children were
so noisy that I gave them their sup
per and sent them to bed. I am sure
If YOU knew how tired [ am, and how
cross baby has been, you would pity
me, and at least not keep my supper
waiting"
The husband forgets how tired he
lis, how little he sees Of his children;
but with comforting word seeks to
make her forget her cares. Not once
during the evening is reference
made to his work or feelings.
Let US look into the home across
the way. 1t is not richer home,
no better children, and yet how dlt-
ferent. As the tired man locks his
Office door be locks all care and ia
tigue in. With q light healt his
thoughts are his forerunner, and in
fancy he sees the welcoming smile OF
wife and babies. AS he enters the
home, what a scramble! but with
mother first" he kisses them all.
AS the hubbub subsidies the wife
asks rather anxiously, "Did you have
to work hard, John,'' but with GA little
extra, DEAR" he quiets all fears.
Then when the babies are in
bed what pleasant evening is spent
in quiet, loving companionship. This
is the very gate of Heaven."-cana-
