The Many TrIbulations That VIII
Confront the Heads of Families as
They Transfer Their Homes From
One Place to Another-What May
BE Looked For-Prospects of a
Gloomy sunday for Many Families.

/ The very mention of March % suggests to
many minds scenes of domestic upheavai,
for to day is moving day in these parts.
Bare floors and walls, and curtainless w,n-
dow! These alone are enough TO give one
the horrors But they are the lesser
| ills that affiict those whose mis-
fortune it is to have frequent moyings.
There are some things specially trying to
the women of the household. Some sacred
treasure is sure TO be destroyed or broken.
Some indispensable article is not TO be found
anywhere, though everybody saw it some-
where during the conflict, nobody knows
just when and where. Some choice piece
of furniture will not fit into any
nook of the new place and m
Vulnerable trials especially trying to the
feminine soul. are experienced at moving
time. The man or woman who can go
through series of movings without hay-
ing kindied within them a desire and de-
termination to possess their own home is
lacking in one Of the first instincts Of fanf-
lily life But after all home is where the
home hearts are, and the household gods
will give their owners impress wherever
