Family DAYS.

Family occasions ought to be cele-
brated frequently, even If the celebra-
ton is the simplest form of little fes-
tival. Bringing the family together
helps to promote affection. Whatever
the event, birthday or wedding ami
versary or a welcome home from a
journey, it ought to mean something
to every member of the family, and
can be made an occasion that will
remain bright in memory when the
family circle is broken.
