You haze to ,ccdr Il exception. If l
mask all the time. thought you had
developed any idiosyncrasies Of that
sort, wouldn't write letters to you. I'd
call on youpersonally, and I'd carry with
me large club studded with tenpenny
nails. But I look upon you as an aver
age man, and home is the only place in
which the average man and the aver
age woman can become thoroughly and
intimately acquainted. the acquaint-
ance which is essential to the develop
ment of domestic happiness.
Something to Live For.
In q home each Of you has something
to live for. something that is part Of
and inseparable from each other. There
Is something about the atmosphere that
develops mutual ambition to which the
surroundings Of a boarding house are
fatal. You feel your responsibilities.
and your shoulders broaden to uphold
them. Your mind expands under the
same influence. You feel that you are
a citizen, a factor in the affairs Of the
world. Nobody else will notice it. per-
haps. but you can afford to look with
supreme Indifference upon the lack Of
attention of other people.
A man and his wife should be all
things to each other. They occupy a
little world to themselves. What mat
ters it what goes on outside? The rest
Of humanity constitutes Il source Of
supply for bread and butter and some
other desirable things. and for this rea-
son If no other 1t should be treated
with consideration. but otherwise 1t is
not essential to domestic happiness.
Much too often it is the cause of do
nestle failure. Go inside your little
fort, close the doors and let the world
wag as it will. You can't do that In a
boarding house; you have to take the
world in with you. OF course you have
heard the saying that a wagging world
on the outside Is better than wagging
tongue on the inside, and In some
cases. regret to say. 1t ia true, but
the men who suffer from woman's
tongue are generally themselves to
blame. The fair sex has been known
On occasions to resort to rolling pins
and flatirons. but its natural weapon
Is the tongue. and. as the Irishman
would say, it is quite effective in capa-
BILE hands. 1t has no sting, however
where love rules and where the wife IS
shown the courtesy she is entitled to.
At any rate, whatever differences of
opinion may arise between man and
wife. they can be more satisfactorily
discussed within the natural precincts
Of home. Whatever troubles may
arise. they can be better borne and
easier disposed of at home than in
boarding house.

moments to sordid considerations.

are so pronounced that they induce

you need the restraints of boarding
house. Home was never intended for
such cattle.
l used to know a man down in the
town where l was raised whose habit
1t was to get pleasantly loaded every
Saturday night. About 1 o'clock Of q
Sunday morning he would reach n
point where 1t became necessary for
him to lift up his voice in song. and the
only song he knew was "Home, Sweet
Home" He would MARBLE this over
and over until the barkeeper's patience
was exhausted, when he would be
gently but forclbly elected with an
urgent request to seek the pleasures
of that sweet domicile to which he Of
fered his unmelodious libations. Sam

narrow path which led to his cottage,

miscellaneous lot of people.
verse conditions wherever they may be
placed. but have as yet seen no rea-
son to count you among them. At any
rate, it is serious risk, and earnest
~ hope you will not take it.
Home Is a School.
On the other hand, home is natures
training school for the making Of gen
uine men and women. I'll admit that
nature doesn't always turn out first
class job, but that's the fault Of the
material. know some persons who
wear trousers who couldn't be turned
into men by any process, natural or ar
tificial. l would not be SO ungallant
as to apply the same statement to
some persons In petticoats whom l
have met, but am afraid their trans
formation into women with hearts and
minds and souls, all in active opera
ton, would be task too great for any
agency. However. that's diversion.
If you want to grow in every way,
mentally, morally, spiritually; If you
want to be happy, get you few rooms
that you can call home. 1t doesn't
matter whether it is three room fiat
or $4,000 apartment, just SO the
rent Is i'll proper proportion to your
income. | don't mean to say that
home makes happiness any more than
flour makes cake, but it's ii mighty
necessary ingredient, and it's the one
you have to start with. 1t gives ut
once the foundation, the environment
and the atmosphere essential to happi-
ness. l am aware that | am mixing my
metaphors little. but | want to press
the point into you until you hOller
that home and happiness begin with
the same letter and start at the same
place.
You never were much Of Il hand to
accept dogmatic statements, and can
imagine you taking the other side Of
the question just for the sake Of argu-
ment, SO I'll humor you with some rea-
sons for my belief in the theory which
worked so we'll in practice in my case,
MS you certainly know, and in the ex-
perience Of many Of my friends.
Better Chance For Acquaintance.
think I have told you something
about the necessity Of intimate &C.
quaintance between man and wife.

your letter just received,
which is more distinguished
by its brevity than Its lucid
ity, that you are undecided as to
whether you shall board or keep house.
You are evidently trying to argue your
self into the belief that boarding Is
the ideal life. while way down in your
innards Is longing for home that
you can't get rid Of.
There is something favorable to be
said Of either proposition. II there
