When This Young Man
Dreams.
Man

Dear Household: For several weeks 1 have
entertained the idea that could write a letter
for this page, but the fear Of criticism, the
bashfulness Of youth and a faint heart have
kept me away.
When ! finally came to a decision Thu.
sbout7" I could find no suitable answer, for
1t seemed to me that every imaginable sub
ject had been discussed, and that not even
one was left for my consideration.
Mr.. Bach has given us his views children
their bad habits, bad manners and dirty
clothes. The mothers have discussed child
raising and woman's right to vote. The old
maids, some OF them rejoicing In their fate
and others lamenting lost opportunities. have
given US lengthy and scholarly articles. The
school teachers have brought to light the DIFF
fieulties and joys Of school teaching; and
grandmothers OF all ages have entertained us
with old time sayings. ways. etc, and prophe-
sled as to coming generations.
To young fellow just emerging from his
teens" such n panorama Of life is some
times presented in our Household almost turns
him from the well beaten path that leads to
ma trimony and causes him to seek the trail
that Mr.. Bach has so joyously trod. He sees
vision Of country home-a home that ought
to be an enjoyable one. but In place Of such
home everything is chaos and disorder. The
husband and father, after hard days work
comes slowly from the fields. He goes to the
goes to the house. He meets his wife
with a pleasant smile and CHEEKY words per-
haps he is thinking Of bygons days, when both
were young and happy together, when they
started out In life with fond hopes and great
expectations, but instead Of the pleasant greet
ing he deserved she greets him in an indf-
ferent and half-hearted manner and passes on
to her household duties. The effect is magical.
His CHEEKY is lost in a moment; he
walks in the house gives the cat kick,
turns a chair and scolds the baby. He
picks mp a paper and tries TO read, but II
look closely we he is not reading. His
eyes have wistful expression about them
and his thoughts not with his paper but
have carried him back to other days when life
was free from and vexution and troubles
came not his way.
Then, again, this young sees another
vision. This time IL is that home where hap
piness ever rules and peace and contentment
ever abide. The wife IL loving and gentle
always ready TO share her husbands troubles
as well as his pleasures. The husband Is made
to feel That there is pleasure in this old world
and that life Is worth living.
And II this young fellow ever turns ais feet
