MAKING HOME AND n. II.
IT'S INMATES HAPPY
What Husbands Owe Wives; Wives
Their Husbands, and Children

The home is the truest index to
character the key to the life of the
Individual the social safeguard. No
man was ever led very far astray
whose home was the most attractive
place on earth to him. No woman
ever stepped aside from the path OF
virtue who found her chiefest joy
in her home. a.,
A home is that place where the
most perfect freedom is enjoyed;
where the greatest privacy is secured;
where, love, sympathy and comfort
abound-the place to which the work.
ers thoughts revert with pleasure in
the midst Of his cares and toll Incl
dent to his occupation and to which
he hastens when the day is done.
Happy Home Effects.
You may know what kind of a home
a man has when you see him walking
toward it in the evening, and when
he starts out in the morning. The man
| who has happy home does not re-
semble the man who has house but
no home, no more than if he was not
created in the same shape and form.
There is a proud independence about
| him, combined with gentle considera-
! ton for others. The world finds him
out, he is a prince among men where
ever he goes, and ne wins confidence
and esteem from all with whom he
associates.
| 1t is a happy man who can invite
a friend home at any time, assured
of a bright welcome, an orderly, neat
| house and good meal, one very best
and most appetizing his companion
can spread. His wife has no gossip
to retail, no trials of children or
neighbors, but can make him forget
J everything but the restfulness of the
place. Her quiet taste in the arrange
ment of the house makes a pleasing
| impression, and her sweet presence
there brings peace and rest.
Agency Of Love.
! It does not require wealth to build
a home With unselfish love for each
other and love of home, a paradise
can be made in a log cabin. But it
must be so arranged as to appear to
run like a perfect piece Of machinery,
without noise or friction anywhere,
each member of the family being
conscious of filling a post of honor.
Husbands owe it to their wives;
wives owe it to their husbands; we
all owe it to our children, to create
a happy home. Yes, believe we owe
it to God; for the home is the center
from which every good thing comes
The Real Home.
That place is homo whether it be
the palace of the wealthy or the hum
bic cottage of the working man and
farmer, where in health you can find
the very highest pleasure you can de-
sire, in sickness the tenderest care,
and where wife and children greet
your home coming with delight, and
where absence is noted with regret.
Living within your means, absolute
avoidance of debt, striving to please
those about you, envying no ones
better fortune; in fact can see no
better, because there is no happier:
that makes in true sense home.
Learn the secret of controlling your
part Of building a home. If the wife
will learn the secret of building q
home, the husband will not seek en-
| joyment elsewhere. If she will learn
to be the most attractive woman on
earth to him, and if he is true man
he will never wander from her, even
in thought.
The wife should remember that the
crown Of wifehood is motherhood, and
the safest haven on this earth is
the home where she can close the doors
and shut out all the world at will,
and open them to whom she will, and
if by contact with the world any loved
one steps astray, the only redemp-
ton is through home.
Such is our conception Of the beau
tiful doctrine Of a happy home.
