BE CHEERFUL AND

ONT come to the breakfast table

Have you any right to plaster your
misery over everybody else2
Don't come to the dinner table in the
evening detailing to the family every
business worry and perpIexity, every
domestic trouble, making them take in
along with their food the aura of your
disappointment anger and dependency.
It's enough to have been disappointed
and angry yourself without making
everybody else suffer. The man or wo-
man who will pour out the troubles Of
the day at the evening meal, no mat
ter what those troubles were ought to
be choked Off and led away, to eat alone
after the rest are done.
A greater sinner still is the person
who sits down at the family table with
grumpy. forbidding, don't-you- dare
speak expression of countenance. as if
he were a boss executioner and was
prepared to strike of the head of any
body who talked or laughed aloud while
eating. There is frightful supersti-
ton in a few quarters that it is not
seemly to talk and be merry while eat

thankfulness to Providence for the food

place where they can assemble and be

the family nightmare. I have seen IA
theirs of families who were exactly OF
that kind, who gloried in depressing all
merriment among their children and
casting a pail Of freezing silence over
the family meal. The result was=pity
1t was-the children had such dis
like and dread of the presence of their
