The home loving mother when
chided by a neighbor for allowing
her husband and children to clutter
up" things about the house so much,
is said to have made the following
beautiful reply: 'The marks of
little muddy feet upon the floor
can be more easily removed
than the stain when those
feet go down into the highways of
evil. TIE print of little fingers up
on the window panes cannot shut
out the sunlight half so much as
the shadow that darkens the mo-
theirs heart through coming years.
And if John finds his home a refuge
from care and trouble, and the
greatest happiness within its four
walls, he can put his boots in the
rocking chair and hang his coat on
| the floor any day in the week. And
If 1 stand it and he enjoys it, l
cannot see that it is anybody's bust
ness. Eek.
