"Home life cements the love of
husband and wife. other modes of
living often loosen the tie" writes
Edward w. Box in the November
Ladies' Home Journal. "Nor does
the question Of expense excuee the
not having of ones own home. A
homo is not, of necessity, palace.
The humblest cottage is o million
times better than the most lux
arious hotel ever planned by the
hands Of man. In the one happi-
ness is probable; in the other it is
just possible. We can talk all We

that it, after all, rests solely be-
tween two people, and that il

Happiness depends upon the
growth Of the people who are parts
of it. People who stop and stag.
nate are never happy. True hap

upon. Let stagnation enter into
two lives, and happiness become:
stagnant and unhealthy. But

ATLANTA's NEW BRIDGE SCHEME.
Vice President Egan I'm COnsuItatiOn
With City officials.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 1s.-Vice President
John NJ. Egan of the Central of Georgia
railway met with the bridge committee of
the general council to-day for the prlnci-
pal purpose of discussing the plans sug-
gested for the extension of Alabama street
by constructing crossing to connect the
western portion of the city by a more di-
rect route with the central portion. The
discussion then turned upon the construc-
ton of a viaduct across the tracks at the
Mitchell street crossing, and Mr.. Egan ia
vored the plan. Others did not partlcu-
larly object to such a scheme but he in
sisted on the extension of Alabama street
as the best plan. Mr.. Egan contended
that grade crossings such as that propos-
ed for the Alabama street extension, are
out of the question, but he agreed to con-
fer with his company and report back Ia
the committee at meeting to be held on
Monday next.
