COMPLEXITIES OF HOME LIFE.

Her cheeks were like the south side Of peach;
she was a rare woman, not much of d taiker, but
her simplest utterances had force and beauty. for
they were backed by her own personality. Her
voice was charming. never self-assertive but sub
dued and tuned by inner harmones
The father and the mother and the children
these make up the home she said something
less may serve-even down to Dame Trot and
her cat; but this is the ideal. Some kind Of com
panionship there must be; better too much than
TOO little even if il add the complexities Of
home life. 1t is wrong from every point of view
for person to live alone. At the best, we are
alone in the inmost part Of our nature why
ever shut ourselves away from the sound Of
voices know and the touch OF hands we love
almost to adoraton?
She sat silent a moment. her eyes resting upon
her windowful Of blossoms. Her listener waited
the while.
Family life. the spirit OF II. IS plant that
needs che-ishtng. Bickering and unkindness XIII
II lust as surely as blasts of frosty air would
kill those plants Love is like the sunshine which
brings out the best IN every plant-except some
delicate fern, perhaps: and ferns almost seem
be like morbid people
Sometimes so anxious 70 nave our own
those dearest to us-do their very best that We
are very exacting" she went on with a half
trembIe in her soft voice, if at some unforget-
table experiences. Il suspect that our eXacting-
grows out Of our pride. our selhshness at
being disappointed More than that, though. IS
the cruelty of harping upon a weak point: this
happens in every family among the children, and
sometimes parents take share. In one family
know, the youngest daughter is laughed at for
having large head; her mother talks about it
deprecatingly regards the child's hats; know
that little girl feels like hiding her shapely,
promising head in utter shame under bushelN
You ask me what qualities woman must
cultivate most Of all for her ideal home? Con-
sideration for every in the hOme-love, in
other vords-is the first essential The posi-
biitv of shutting the world is the second
You might make kind Of trinity she continued,
as deepening tone suggested her own rich expert
ences by adding hospitality. Cherish a hospi-
talfty as wide and generous as you can af-
ford I say to every married woman who comes
to me for advice wonder why many come.
just as you have?-snd ! say, always, Think Of
YOUR home life sacred.
I often recall what my mother used to com
ment stormy nights when our neighbors had
troublous times" added the elderly woman as her
wan-faced visitor rose to go, with a hand grasp
that meant far more than her Thank you " All

fourth volume in the series Of collected es-
says by Mr.. Frederic Harrison is issued
by the Macmillan Company under the title of
Realities and Ideals" The articles range all
the way from discussion of England's relations
with France Originally. printed in 1866 TO
group Of deliverances provoked by the present
agitation over parliamentary franchise for
women. The real career of women is moral
one TO ennoble and purify the entire race OF
mankind and Mr.. Harrison feels that only harm
can be done by mixing up this sacred duty with
the coarser occupations Of politics and trade.
In a few chapters Of good-humored ren1iniscence
the author lets US see some of his mid Victorian
friends as they were before they became en-
veIopcd in the golden mist Of fame. The Cen
tury Club which Mr.. Harrison had hand in
starting. forty years age. was organized to up
hold definite and very strict principles of po-
Htlcal and religious liberalism. It was 10 con-
sist not of celebrities. or of pleasant fellows,
but Of keen workers in the cause of freedom of
thought and popular progress 1t under
stood that candidates not To be ineligible

iona BILE tailor. and workngmen he as
welcome as noble lords
Among the earliest members Mr.. Harrison
mentions Henry Fawcett, Sir Charles Dixie,
Thomas Hughes. James Bryce. Leslie stephen.
John Morley and the inevitable Lord Houghton.
