ESSENTIALS TO HAPPINESS IN TIKI
HONE.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE This question
has pu " ed the minds of many pc"
pie and l hope to read many letters
from others on this subject.
To have happiness in the home,
the fist requirement is shat there
be love; for without it, there will
never be a home, but simply a place
80 stay, as are so many places TO-
day that are called homes.
In a home neatness is a matter of
much importance-so cheap, like
manners, yet many, so many, are
careless, negligent, forgetful of
small things Nothing helps TO
make one happy more than comfort ;
so with the means that you have,
secure all the things that make lite
worth living. Do not forget that
boys like to play at games while the
older people are reading books or
newspapers.
VII ie much depends on the moth
or, yet the father should have some
time to devote to his children, whose
education and morals are more i'm
portant than the troubles of his
business.
Then to be happy, let the home
be not simply four walls. which Ok
olude youfrom the rest of the world,
but u place where love is the ruler,
and to you, the dearest place on
earth, as it should be.
With best wishes to S-cial Chat,
l am, RIP.

EATEN UP gY INTEREST.

Most people know in theory, if not
by experience, how rapidly com-
pound interest acoumulates; but
a phase of the matter which may
have escaped their attention is re-
ported from the S south.
A oolored man complained that
another negro owed him two dollars
and absolutely refused to pay the
debt. The creditor had dunned and
dunned him, but ali to no purpose.
Finally he went to a lawyer in the
no 9 that he could give him some
good advice.
what reason does he give for re-
fusing to pay?" asked the lawyer.
"Why, boss, said the oolored
man, she said he done owed me dat
money for 80 long dat de intrust
had ct it all up, and he didn't owe
me u cent I'-SeleotPd.

HOMEMADE CHRIS MAS PRESENTS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE 81 have long
been a silent admirer of s ,cial Chat.
and have often thought of Uriting
but GOULD never get 40 enough oour-
age until now. I always turn to the
Social Chat the first thing when THF
PROGRESSIVE FARMER comes and feel,
SO disappointed when there are no
letters. / think the Chatterers
should do better than that-try
write twice a ninth anywa~.
l was glad to see a letter from
Will Retlaw, not long since hope
he will write often now, for l greatly
emf ~ his letters. l know his wife
has an ideal husband, if he is IA good
as he says he is. ! should be glad TO
see d letter from her also.
/ wish some of the readers would
write and tell how to make some
thing cheap but pretty for Christmas
prt sents. By so doing they would
help me and probably others. Christ

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il wonder
how many readers of the Social

write u letter for it IN the midst IF
the happiness and joys of Thanks

But perhaps it would be different
with me were l at home to day to
take the accustomed place beside the
table and JOIN in the oOnviviAlity
with friends and loved ones. Some
times duty forces US to fOregO the
pleasures of the family reunion on
this day, but we have never yet
fuiled 10 return to the old home at
Christmas and enjoy the festive sea
son in good spirits and humor.
Christmas carries with it mor good
cheer and happiness than any other
holiday on the calendar. The coup

Christmas is a time of universal

disappointed and downcast. For
my part, I shall do what 1 can to
make some heart glad.
Sad to say, the day does not have
the universal sacredness that would
be expected in celebrating the birth.

pie, even many Christians, feel at
liberty TO go into excuses on this
holiday not seen at other times.

queer way of observing Christ's

MCDOWELL COUNTY ANSWERS WILL
RETLAW.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE although I
am not a memher of the S Dcial Chat
circle, still I want to join and try
for one of Will Retlaw'a books.
The first and most essential thing
to u happy home ia, love Not only
love of husband and wife, parents
and children, but love of God and
HIS Word Supremacy and love of
family circle next. Because if we
love God and His Word supremelv,
we will obey Him and be gentle, kind
and loving. Instead of worrying,
teasing and being unkind TO our
home circle we will be studying how
we can make them happy, and where
we Can do something 80 please them
and see how kind and affectionate
we can be. And where love, gentle.
ness and kindness are, there is hap
piness, even in the most extreme
poverty. And without these 1t is
misery even in a palace.
The best way to make homo hap
py is to study and TO work for some
one else's comfort, pleasure and
happiness.
/. The true wife and mother finds
her greatest happiness in keeping
her home neat and attractive and
attending to the wants and needs of
her husband and children.
2. The husband and father
finds his greatest haDl mess in pro
viding a comfortable home, a sub
stantial board and good G, mfortable
clothes for his wife and Chi dren, and
in coming home TO a neat, attractive
home where he sees the love and
thought of his wife and children for
HIM at every turn. There are his
wife and children, neat and smiling,
watching for him, his favorite chair
all ready in a comfortable place, his
favorite books and papers ready for
him. There is something he likes
prepared for his meals, and in all he
sees love and thought for him.
8. The children g their greatest
happiness in being kind and gentle
to each other and affeotiOnate and
obedient to mother and father ant
all find true happiness in the Golden
Rule: "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you"
After all, l think the members of
Social Chat will agree with me in
saying that a happy home depends
more on the wife and mother than
on all the rest of the family put to-
gether. For nc one can at me for
her neglect or Unlova blenesa, while
she, in a m assure can atone for each
Of the other members of the family.
If the wife and mother is neg ectful
and false, there is a discord in the
home, no matter how other mem
bers of the family may try to take
her place. And if the wife
and mother is loving and true, there
is happiness in the home even IN
der the most trying circumstances.
So, young man, if you want your
home to be happy be u r and marry
a Christian girl, one who loves and
obeys her God and His Word Then
be kind and loving to her and your
home will be sure TO be a happy one.
If Aunt Jennie accepts this letter
as worth printing, I will write again
for Social Chat. MRS. 2 B. P.

How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
