Object of the Home.

The trueSt homes are often in houses
not especially well kept, where the com
fort and happiness of the inmates. rath-
or than extreme tidineSs and the preser-
walton OF the furniture, is first consulted.
The object of the home is to be the CEN
ter, the pivot on which the family life
turns. The first requisite is to make it
so attractive that none of its members
shall care to linger long outside its limits.
All legitimate means should be EMPLOYED
to this end and no effort spared that
can contribute to this purpose. There
are many houses called homes, kept with
such waXy neatness by painstaking. anx-
ious women, that are so oppressive in
their nicely as to exclude all home feel
ing from their spotless precincts. The
very name of home is Synonymous with
personal freedom and relaxation from
care; solid comfort.
But neither Of these can he felt where
such mania for external cleanliness
pervadeS the household as TO render ey-
erything subservient thereto. Many
housewives. if they see speck on the
floor or wall, or a bit of thread or pa-
per on the floor. rush at it as if it were
the seed of pestilence, which must be
removed on the instant. Their temper
depends upon theH maintenance of per
feet purity and order. If there be any
failure on their part or any combination
of circumstances against them they fall
into a pathetic despair and can hardly
be lifted out. They do not see that
cheerfulness is more needed at home
than all the spotlessness that ever Shone.
Their disposition to wage war upon i'm
maculateness of any sort increases I'M
til they become slaves of the broom and
dustpan. Neatness is one thing and IA
state of perpetual housekeeping quite
another.
Out of this grows by degrees the feel
ing that certain things and apartments
are too good for daily use. Hence chairs
and sofas are covered and rooms shut
up, save for special occasions, when they
are permitted to reveal their violated sa-
cTedness in manner that mars every
pretCnse of hospitality. Nothing should
be bought which is considered too fine for
the fullest domestic appropriation. Far
the children can climb than satin and
danaSk, which must be viewed with rev
ercnce. When anything * reserved or Sc
Guided. to disguise the fact is extremely
difficult. A chilly air wraps it round, and
the repulSiOn of strangeneSs is expert
enced by the most insensible.
Home is not Il name, nor form. nor 4
routine. 1t is spirit. presence, prn-
ciple. Material and method will not and
cannot make it. 1t must get its light aud
sweetness from those who inhabit il,
from flowers and sunshine from the sym
pathetic natures which, in their exercise
of sympathy. can lay aside the tyranny
of the broom and the awful duty Of end

Its the same way with her hats. She
bought one last year that cost as much as
