CheerIess English House..

A writer in Harper's Magazine says:
II doubt II the English live longer
than we for living less comfortably.
The lower classes seem always to have
colds, the middle classes rheumatism
and the upper class gout by what
one sees or hears. Rheumatism, one
might almost say Tor quite If one did
not mind what one said is universal In
England, and all ranks Of society have
the facilities for II in the indoors cold
in which they otherwise often undenia-
bly, flourish" And a writer in Madame
tells Of a friends visiting book, In
which against certain names she found
a substantial cross" against others
two. What was the meaning? Not
kisses, as you might infer from reading
the humorous accounts Of breach Of
promise cases, but curses. One cross
against the country house that was cold
in its passages and staircases and two
crosses against the house with mo
fires in the guests bedrooms"

1t is very reasonable to argue that
no creation Of human fancy could last
as fairy tales have lasted through no
one knows how many hundreds and
thousands Of years unless it was very
good, for that which is not good and
not sound must surely die, and only
that which is good and sound shall last
through the grinding Of the ages So
believe that parents could Oil their
children's imaginations full of fairy
tales If they would make those imagi-
nations strong and healthy. As for
that man or woman who has not these
