The Best Room.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

When l was a boy in Illinois every
house had it's best ROOM it was
where COMPANY sat. ladies who came
TO call dressed up in their best Sunday
clothes. and the preacher when he made
his regular visit and prayed witht the
family, and the lawyer when he came
to get mother to sign papers, and the
book agent who sold US Mother. Home.

The children were not allowed in
there. And really they never wanted to
gosin for the shades were always close
ly Drawn at the windows, the air was
stuff. and the haircloth sofa and
chairs were most uncomfortable.
There was an album on the marble
topped eenter-table, and in it were
Uncie MlltS and Aunt Hallie'S photo
graphs. An engraving or Lincoln and
his cabinet, presented as a prize with
two years subscription for Cooley

its side hung a glass-cOvered hair,

clothesline in the back yard and pound

dust, and then, having put new straw on
the floor. relaid it.
The room was the pride and glory of
the house, and nearly useless.
l remember we'll the time l went over
to stay all night with Ralph Matheny,
and how amazed l was to see the whole
family sitting in the '.parlor.' the father
reading the newspaper and the boys
playing checkers-right in the company
room.
The explanation of the best room is
this: 1t is an expression of the de-
sire that the world should know us, not
as what We are, but as what We are
supposed to be.
The whole struggle for respect
ability" may be summed up as an in
stinctive effort to conceal our real
selves.
Most of what is known as society"
is but rattle and mixture. of re-
spectabilities, "a parade of masks,
game in which by mutual understand
ing each plays a part
To be genuine, frank and real is to
be coarse, ill-bred. or crude.
The best room" idea pervades us.
What is the religion of most of US but
a best room affair. to be used upon
occasions and not for the daily warmth
of living?
With how many of your acquaint-
anees have you ever gotten farther than
their best room? With how few men
or women do you talk with whom you
feel that you are entering freely into
the sitting room, dining room, and
kitchen of their mind.
In other words, we are acquainted with
many and Know very few.
We move about. suspicious or one
another fencing against one another. in
terposing conventional artifcialities be-
tween our real selves and others.
And what a comfort to meet one OF
those persons who impress you as
genuine through and through, with no
dignity to defendi no fortress of re-
spectability to guard, one who is just
a real man.

If meats are placed on the free list. he

for the same kind of inspection for for
