Home For the Boys.

 Probably many boys during the long winter evenings would be kept or the streets and from undesirabte associations if . little more care were taken to make their home life attfac- tive. Tn many homes .while every care Is rightly taken to give the daugh- ters cozy and cheerful rooms in which 1t is a pleasure for them to meet their girl friends the idea prevails that any Kind of a room barely furnished will do for the boy. The mistake n made of thinking that boy does not care about these things. The fact is . boy is just as fond of a pleasant room in- to which he may invite his chumstaa a girl is, and if he has to put up with d little cupboard of a room and a stick or two of old furniture discard ed by other members of the family he feels t and home is just that much win provide tn cir boys with counter attractions to the demorallzing tnfiu- ences of the street, and q good com fortsble room Is one of the most ef- fective we know.
