The question Of u livelihood Is with vast
multitude this great question There are
young men who expected before this to set
up their household, but they have bean dis
appointed IN the gains they have made.
They cannot support themselves, how Gan

Then the winter has especial Temptations
In the fast that many homes are peculiarly
-unaftractive at this season. In the summer
months the young man can sit out ON the
stops, or he can havs bouquet In the vase
on the mantel, or, the EVENING" being 50
short, soon AFTER gaslight he wants to retire
anyhow. But there are many parents who
do not understand how TO make the long
winter evenings attractive to taeir chiIdrsp.
It n amazing to me that 30 many old people
do not understand young people. TO hear
some OF these parents talk you would think
they had never themselves been young and
had been born with spectacles on. Oh, 1t il
6olorous for young people to SIT In the house
