down. He was too lavish. Let him suffer
for his recklessness.' Lucius said. II would
be very glad to help Tinol, but l have
made large purchases, and my means are
all absorbed" Aud one lord sent one ex-
cuse, and another lord sent another ex-
cuse. But, to the astonishment OF every
body, after awhile Timou proclaimed au-
other feast. Those lords said to them
selves, "Why, either Timon has had a good
turn Of furtune or lie has been deceving
US, testing our love-" And SO they all
Hooked to the banquet apoloGctic forseem-
ing lukewarmness. The guests were all
seated ut the table, and Ti,non ordered the
covers lifted. The covers lifted, there was
nothing under them but mokug hot water.
Then Timon SAID to his guests, Dogs, lap,
lap, dogs!' Aud under the terrific irony
they fed the room, whils Timon pursued
them with his anathema, calling them
fools OF fortune, destroyers OF happiness
under mask, hurltng Mt the same Time
the pitchers and the chnlicea after them.
Oh, my friends, I would not want to make
You overSuspclous In the day OF your sue
cess, but I want you to understand right
we'll there is vast difference between tue
popularity Of Timou the prosperous aud
Timon the unfortunate; I want you to know
there Is vast difference In the number OF
people who admire a man when he Is going
up and the number o. people who admire
him when he is going down.
But must have a word with those who
In this Mayday time move out Of larger res:
licences into smaller. Sometimes the pa:
thetic reason Is that the family has
dwindled in size, and so much room Is not
required, 80 they move out into small
apartments. l know there are such cases.
Marriage has taken some OF the members
or the family, death has taken other MEM
bers OF the family, and after awhile father
and mother wake up to find their. family
lust the size 1t was when they started, and
they would be lonesome and lost inasiarge
house; hence they move out OF It. Moving
dny Is lesreat sadness to such IL they ihaye
the law Of association dominant There
enr members Of the family. I suppose
1t is 80 In all your households. i ~ so
In mine. We name the rooms after the
persons who occupy them. And then
there Is the dining hall where the. festiyi-
ties took place, the holiday festivities; there
Is the sitting room where the family met
night after night, and tlerel is the room sa-
cred because there life started or life
stopped-the Alpha and the Omega OF
some earthly existence. Scene OF meeting
and parting, OF congratulation aud heart
break, every doorknob, every fresco, every
mantel, every threshold, meaning more to
you than It can ever mean to any one else.
When moving out Of q house, Ihaye always
been In the habit, attec everything was
gone, Of going into each room and bidding
It a mute farewell. ThsreSWil be tears
time moving that the carmen will not be
able to understand. i Is solemn and a
touching and an ogerMhelming thing
to leave places forever places where We
have struggled and totle6 mud wept and
sung and prayed and anaiously watched
and agonlzed. On lie Is such strange
mixture of honey and Of gall weddings
against which ths billowss Of many seas
tumble. Thank God thsyasuc chaugess
are not always going nttDue; othefss
wise the nerves would s&tv9 ont and tbee'
brain woult fonnder Cd a dementia like
that of King Lear when bis daughter
!Corde!ia came TO medicine his domestic
calamity. S -
But there ara Others SMho will move out
OF large Residences into smaller through
the reversal OF fortune. The property
must be sold or the batliH will sell 1t, or the
income Is less and you cannot pay the
house rent. First of all. such: persons
should understand that our happiness is
not dependent on the slzs OF the house We
live In. I have kuoWn people enjoy
small heaven In TWO rooms and others suf-
fer a pandemoniums I'M twenty. There Is
as much happiness Id small house as IN a
large house. There Is as much satisfaction
