Another H. is answering to the call; and
your words are SO true. Many country
people think the city folks only, have all
the advantages and opportunities of life,
not realizing how broad one can grow
when one has ''all out door, to enjoy. A
few good papers and books, eompre hend-
ing mind and a contented spirit, can
make the country home an ideal abiding
place.
1t is a pleasant confidence that sThe

lovely letter and touched upon the same
subject that H. mentioned. Imagine him

of home I'd all that surrou nds is: to con the
season aud wonder If the hydrangeas be in
bloom. or If the tall white lilac, flirting with
the yeranda's end, may be dressed in its
mantle Of purity aud pertaining the rooms as
of old. He may even indulgently wonder IL
the woodbine-man's adherence and q
womap's pride-has been properly trained
anew and suffered nothing from its necessary
displacement by the hands OF workmen.
The life OF a mariners wife at home may be
something almost like three-quarters widow
hood, and yet it may have compensations.
Shets at least mi-tress Of all she surveys,
with no possible division of authority. A
well-trained and ingenious man at hand in
springtime may be a convenience and moral
support at all seasons, but he is nearly always
something OF an iniant-fussy. hungry and
disorderly.
So the wife who returns alone to her sum
nier home after winters Notwithstanding
children and grandchildren all in other states
with no household companion whatever save
the glad and faithful dog with the human
eyes of love. may be content to supervise the
work Of carpenters, painters. paperers and
gardeners, and never know that it borders on
either heroism or abuse.
Such ones, and no doubt there are many
who perforce must be thus self-dependent,
may we'll merit the best wishes of other good
housewives who may have more general sup
port through the season when homes are to
be put in order, inside and out, to meet the
sweetness OF a Maine summer, and perhaps
with the proud hope predominant that some
absent ones may return in time to help enjoy
the beauties OF the biossoming land and the
ever sacred graciousness of the home. r.
