Thoughts on "Home.''

The gilded palaces we see IN our travels
abroad are beautiful to look upon pres
emily, but later on they serve their pur-
pose to make a contrast with the sweet
simplicity OF home.
When you so home, eliminate business
cares. and let play and sociability and
love occupy your time.
The best place In the world is the home,
In proportion as home life is unsatisfac-
tory or uncongenial. so in proportion are
the clubs filed with dissatisfied and IN
happy men. II you want to hear pesSi-
mistic talks on home life. talk with those
derelicts who spend most Of their time at
the clubs
Learn TO make much Of little things.
Learn that smiles and good humor In
the home bring happiness, and iron out
the frowns and check the mean impulses
arising within US. Be pleasant every
morning until 10 o'clock, and the rest OF
the day VIII take care of itself. Start
out in the morning right and happiness
will be at home at night.
There IS nothing in your old age that
will be such a comfort to you as retro
spection. or looking back over a long life
Of happiness in the home The happy
little incidents which to-day seem trivial
will be remembered In the future, and a
! thousand and one occurrences which are
happening in the home are being put
away IN the storehOuse Of memory, later
to be called upon and enjoyed again.
IN the evening OF life when you ind
your silver-haired partner sit before the
| fireplace. when you have retired from
active participation In your respective

winner on the part Of the man ana bread
making on the part Of the woman. then
you will have a happiness and satisfac-
ton which all the gold in the world
could not buy. The pleasures Of the old
who have had happy homes during their
I lives are the greatest pleasures in the
world
/ The sunset OF your life will not be beau
tiful unless your home life was pleasant
during your day Of work.
