Homo is where the heart is" and
the heart will be in the home If the
nome has anything to commend it.
1t takes time and patience to make
the home what it should be, and adj
vice is cheap. But even ii advice is
cheap and seldom needed, one often
finds hints that help greatly if put
into effect. The girl of today is
thinking seriously of home making,
and the twentieth century woman is
far more inclined to take a serious
view of love and matrimony than
either her mother or grandmother
appears to have been. She may like
admiration, but as a rule she has no
desire to pose as a breaker of mems
hearts. Viewed even from a moral
standpoint the girl of the '30s, the
maiden of ready bushes and simple
white muslin frocks, who was taught
to regard every unmarried man that
crossed her horizon as probable
lover and a possible husband was
much more forward in spite of her
vaunted modesty than the bachelor
girl, who looks the realities of life
straight in the face, understands how
the taking of a husband can prove
curse as we'll as a blessing. Such a
one is likely to promise to marry
without the full intention TO take
him for better or for worse.
Cheerfulness is the best promoter
of health. Repinings and murmur-
ings of the heart give imperceptible
strokes to those delicate fibres of
which the vital parts are composed,
and wear out the machine. Cheer
fulness is as friendly to the mind as
to the body. Addison said this and
he is right. One way to keep cheer
full is to stand erect.
| Never allow your physical standard
to drop Keep up your energy; walk
as if you were somebody and were
going to do something worth while in
this world, SO that even stranger
will note your bearing and mark your
superiority. If you have fallen in
TO a habit of walking in listless,
5!indolent way, turn right about face
at once and make change. You
don't want to shuttle along like the
Failures we often see sitting around
on park benches, or lolling about the
streets, with their hands in their
pockets, or haunting intelligence of
fees, wondering why fate has been
Eso hard with them. You don't want
to give people the impression that
Iyou are discouraged, or that you are
already falling to the rear.
Straighten up, then; Stand erect!
Be man! You are child of the
Infinite King. You have royal blood
in your veins. Emphasize it by your
bearing. A man who is conscious of
his kinship with God, and of his pow
er, and who believes thoroughly in
himself, walks with firm, vigorous
step, with his head erect, his chin in,
hissshoulders thrown back and down,
and his chest we'll projected in order
to give a larger lung capacity; he is
the man who does things.
A writer in Success says you can
4 not aspire, or accomplish great or
noble things SO long as you assume
the attitude and bearing of a cow
los ri ILL IL l..
noble and do noble things, you must
look up. You were made to look up
ward and walk upright, not to look
down or to shamble along in a semi
horizontal position. Put character
dignity, nobility into your walk.
The bringing up of the son so he
will be home maker is essential
/ Twenty or thirty years ago women
at forty donned cap and spectacles
and settled down to enjoy old age
She sank back in the chimney cor
ner and allowed her children who
scarcely old enough to have cut ali
their teeth or learned to dress them
selves to rule the home
But the girl or woman cannot
make the home all it should be with,
out the aid of the husband or faith
er-at least she should not have to
Consequently the boy Of twenty
years was staid, set in his way anG
egotistical enough to wonder why he
! had lived that long without the
2 world having recognized him or made
him president.
The woman who does not keep III
with her children makes grave mis-

What she is the home must shoy

something more than. place to ca
