4 The sweet and gracious lGttlel
flower Of courtesy is one that should
bloom steadily in every home. No
rare exotic can send forth such
sweet perfume nor lend such grace
/. and beauty to a home. If all the
members of family We're as court
eous and kind to each other MS
they are to strangers, what differ
ence 1t would make in the home at
n,osphere.
! 1t is the little foxes that destroy
the vines in home life. We have
known men who would lay down their
lives for their wives and children,
who would almost have fits of apo
plexy over button off shirt or
mislaid paper. There are women
who would die at the stake for
for their husbands, but who have
IN almost unconscious habit Of nag
ging the poor man from morning
TIL night. Strange isn't IL?

Although housekeeping and home
making are the most important Of all
things, yet they are sought after
the very least Girls get married
who do not know how to make a
loaf Of bread, or boil a potato, ex-
pecting somehow that These things
. will take care of themselves, and
that they can live happy with q
man in his ignorace, knowing too

band than to spoil his dinner He
cannont thrive long on purely a
love diet. ~.. ".....
We are almost out OF home girls;
girls that are mothers "right-hand"
n girls that can cuddle the little ones
next best to mama, and smooth out
the tangles in the domestic Bkein
, when things get twisted, girls that
father takes comfort in for something
better than beauty, and big brothers
ere proud of for something that out
ranks the ability to leading dude.
How many children know their fatf
ers only as anxious, making
machines, and their mothers rs tired
nervous middle-aged drudges II
would be wise for them occasionally
to take some time for the whole fam
lily to rest and amuse themselves to-
gether. The parents influence Eould
be stronger II they lived not alto
gether for but with their children.

THE WORD WIFE.
What do you think the beautiful
word wife comes from? Wife means
! weaver You must be either house
wives or housemoths, remember that
In the deep sense, You must either
weave mems fortunes and embrolder
them, or feed upon or bring them
to decay, Wherever a true wife come
home is always around her. The star
may be over her head, and theglow-
worm in the nights cold grass may
be the fire at her feet, but
home is where she is.
When we look about us and con-
: slider the happiness that exists, the
families that have come to grief
some from misfortune, some from er.
ror, we are almost persuaded that
those parents who die young, before
the evil day comes when they no
longer find pleasure in their chill
