presentation with a cast of unusual ex-
violence is a distinct innovation in this
day of mediocre attractions. All over

absorb the development of its wonder

For We're sure he's happy now,
He has knelt in heartfelt gladness
Where the happy angels dwell.

The English home with its lack of proper
heating and also its sad lack of ventilation

American woman than the American home
is to the English woman. The latter freely
admits that the conveniences of the American
home are beyond compare, but there is one
serious defect that is always commented on
This is set forth by Mary Mortimer Maxwell
in the National Review Oondon). There is
place for father Surely there must be
some truth in this, for many British women
have called attention to the fact that we
have no privacy in our homes, and have
pointed to the shortcomings of pretty strands
of beads serving as doors, and to the fact
that the bathroom is the only sanctuary. the

for everything, buys the house with his own
earnings or hires 1t, and yet generally has not
so much as corner that is his very own.
1t is called his house. It has many rooms.
There are the drawing room, the living room,

such outbuildings as the kitchen, the smoke

obtrude themselves upon the notice of visit

walls, however, are the eta Ha" walls which
