pathetic and dramatic work and her
readings are delightfully."- natural.

gro and Irish are unexcelled. Her
rendition of Tennyson's melodrama,
Enoch Arden, is Of the highest order,
and has been an unqualified success
wherever given this season. Mrs. Es-
tella B. Blake, harp soloist, is an ar
tist. No instrument can equal the
harp for richness, sweetness and mel
lowness of tone. Mrs. Blake's harp
is one Of the very best. Her intelli-
gent musical Interpretation and bril-
liant technique make her solo a de-
lightful feature of the program. Our
people should not miss this splendid

Never be too tired or too busy to

The home and the church are two
Of the grandest institutions known to
mankind. What would be any near
er to heaven on earth than happy
home, with loving father and moth
er, with their little family? When
God created man, He said it wasn't
good for man to live alone, so he made
him a helpmate, not slave. But
men don't seem to understand it that
way. If the wife shares our sorrows
and trials, she should also be partaker
of our Joys.
If she asks you about your business,
don't snap her up and tell her it is
none of her business. Always speak
kindly. Kiss her once in a while,
and tell her she is pretty, for no man
who. loves his wife can fail to see some
pretty trait about her. IF you have
not done this, try it. Nothing would
please her better, and she would repay
you a Thousand times for it. When
she is feeling badly and worried, show
a disposition to sympathize. And the
wife should do the same for her hus-
band. Nothing would please him
more when he comes in after hard
days work than for her to meet him
at the door with loving smile and a
kiss. 1t makes him feel that she APP
preciates what he has done for her.
Nothing can make home more loving
than kind words. We thought the
loveliest home that we ever were in
was when they spoke to each other it
was always father, mother, son or
and it is like that old darkey |
once said, when another called him a |
black African: "It's not so much what |
you say as it is the way you speak it. J."
