whose service every brave man

woman, wife, mother, home-these
are the dearest, best and sweetest
words in human speech, and woman's
sphere is in the home Without her
the home cannot exist When she is
not part of his life man is miser-

the fairest flower of civilization, and
if we destroy the home woman be-
comes an outcast, man beast and
earth hell.
