HOW CAN ] MAKE MY HOME
HAPPIER?
Eph., 4.31, 80; Gil. Romans. 15.1. J.
By Robert D. Burbank,
resident Washington District Epworth League.

Home is normally the happiest place
on earth, and any one who does not
know this by experience must be
dwelling in an unnatural state, there
must be something wrong, either with
him or with his home. The home is
the place where we associate most
closely with those we love best. it is
the seat of the family, which is the
unit of society. economically. politi-
callv and socially. Home is naturally.
therefore. the seat of the deepest ahec-
tions, and since true happiness Is based
on love, home should be, naturally, the
happiest place on earth.
This is an age of progress ana
achievement, and modern science mas
produced so many luXuries and con
the home, that the mind of man or
a hundred years ago could scarcely
have conceived of style OF nvlns
as luxurious as an ordinary modern
suburban home, with its lawn ana
flowers and clean paved street its
aowing water, sewer, gas, electrical
light and power. heating plant, auto
mobile street car, telephone and mail
service, sewing machine, washing
machines for clothes and dishes.
vacuum cleaners and other modern
conveniences And with the elimina-
ton by these means of so much OF the
drudsery from the home life. and the
other improvements that make life
easier, the home should be much
happier place now than it ever has
been before.

What Makes Home Happyp

Yet it is not apparent that homes
are happier now than they were
hundred years ago. or even two thou
sand years ago, SO the happiness of
the home cannot be saidN to depend
upon the possession of luxuries. con-
yeniences or comforts; indeed, the ply
steal features of the home seem hardly
to affect its happiness. The howell of
the poor man, in which the barest
necessities are provided. may be for
him but a place to eat and sleep; and
the most luXuriously furnished man
sion but place to entertain and make
"A show of wealth and culture. Some
thing Is needed to make either one

for the welfare OF others-and a pur-
pose for ourselves. The purposes of
life should never be selfish. but in
striving for personal purity We are
laying the only foundation for true
service to God and to others.
In executing a purpose to help others
we are doing most for a purpose for
ourselves.
Be useful where thou Iivest. that they may
Both want and wish thy presence still.
To compass this. Find out mans want and
will,
And meet them there. All worldly joys go less
To the one joy Of doing kindnesses.
We grow in power to do good as our
past good works are recognized. Our
good purpose is continually strength
ened by deeds performed. Mans
power of spiritual usefulness is cumu-
latIve. The more good he does the
more he can do-the greater is his
no wearing out in doing good The
more one has done the more he NAV
yet do. The spiritual career is not
like ordinary life, which as time goes
on weakens and dies; it is like the
river. which becomes stronger and
stronger until it reaches its destina-
ton
Purposes for Time.
In regard to the purposes of our
lives we should remember that the only
really good ends to gain are those
which are permanent. A purpose in
volving only temporary success is Of
little value. However great it may
appear to be, il 1t does not extend
beyond this life 1t is very limited, for
our life is but a span. and What shall
it profit a man II he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own soul ?"
II the purposes of our life are lin
tied to time-a period of three score
and ten years-there can be but little
success worth the striving for, but If
what we can gain is ours through the
endless years to come our achieve
ments are Of infiuite value
Immortality life that never ends
has everything to do with the question.
What is the purpose of our life on
EARTH"

Diamonds and Pearls
The most delightful new lavillieres
are shown at the III. G. Claster jew
elry shop, 304 Market street in pro-
fuse assortment and each seems more
beautiful than the last. There are
sapphires and amethysts, canoes and
Oriental stones in many most unusual
designs-the sort that are not seen
elsewhere. An especially dainty and
lovely lavellier, I noticed was a de-
sign in gold combining a diamond
with rows of tiny pearls, while a large
pearl drop completes this charming
arrangement. This is specially priced
for Xmas giving at just $500 while
other lavallieres in solid gold, range
from $3.50 to $4,000.
Winter Furs
The most youthful and the most
identifying pelts are the long haired
foxes. which are almost universally
becoming, and this season the lovely
red fox scarfs are especially popular.
Astrich's, Fourth and Market streets,
are showing some perfect beauties,
some of the scarfs using a single large
animal pelt with prettily marked head,
and long full tails, while others are
exceptionally wide and lined with silk.
Some beautiful sets are offered at very
moderate prices. aud the fine, natural
gloss of these pelts prove their quail
ity. AT this shop, too, / saw some
beautiful sets in the smart cross fox
which is SO much worn by the fashion
able world this season.
An Exposition Award
First prize at the San Francisco Ex-
position was awarded to the Fulper
pottery. which Is sold in Harrisburg
by the Woman's Exchange, Third
street at Herr, and anyone who has
seen these beautiful examples of the
potter's art will appreciate the JUS
tice of this award. 1t is beautifully
colored glazed pottery, offered in the
most allurlng shapes and designs.
Bowls for flowers or bulbs, in soft
blues. candlesticks in dull green, bud
vases and odd pieces for Christmas
flowers, fruits or candies in neutral
shades, delightfully."- tinged with color,
give just hint of the gift possibilities
offered at prices ranging from soc up.
Portraits in the Home
Every gem needs a setting to bring
out its beauty, and just as truly every
person is best seen in the environment
which belongs to him or her. That is
the reason our best photographers are
now advocating home portraiture, and
the Roshon Studio, 8 N. Market
Square. is making this type of work a
specially for the holiday season. I'm
questionably. no gift could better ex-
press the love and good will of Christ
mas time than a photograph of a
mother in the old home, a child in it's
nursery, or a friend, pictured naturally
in room where every bit of furnish
ing helps to express the personality
of the subject, and forms fitting
background.

When Miss Lillian Swails, of 141O
Green street came tripping down
stairs Monday morning in her best
clothes, her mother, Mrs. Newton A.

off to Washington to be married." said
she. Thomas Elder Cleckner joined
her at the station and they sent word
later that the wedding ceremony had
been performed in Washington, and
that they will be home the last of
this week.

ago when an automobile they were in
collided with a street car at Front

BLIND ORGANIST
IN FINE PROGRAM
Matinee Organ Recital Yester-
day Pleases Large Audience
of Real Music Lovers

Unique among the many local musi-
cal events which have lately taken
place was the matinee organ recital at.
the Grand Photo theater yesterday by
Prof. G.. w. Wallace, N. A. O., the we'll
known blind organist. A Canadian by
birth, Mr.. Wallace lost his sight COM
pletely when u lad of six, but the in
domitable courage and grit of the born
fighter carried him through all the
difficulties in his way until he gradu-
ated at Overbrook finished musician,
perfectly at home with any instrument.
The sincere appreciation of his large
and representative audience of both
neP and women was proof of the ex-
quisite beauty with which he handled
the complicated keyboard. His deli
cate shading of tone power was espe-
cially noticeable from the majestic
chords of the famous SeXtette from
Lucia de Lammermoor" to the gentle
appeal of Schumann's Traumerei.
The old favorites played by, request,
Lead Kindly Light" and abide With
Me" with chime accompaniment drew
tears to the eyes of his hearers.
Prof. Wallace between numbers
gave q brief but Instructive talk upon
the way music is taught to the blind.
First absolute familiarity with the
keyboard through the sense of touch
trained memory as all their music is
dictated and written by them in the
Braille type and then memoriZed. The
treble and base being studied separ-
ately must be accurate or discord will
result when played together. He dis
played q music book in Braille type
made for the use of the blind.
Little Miss fatti Thomas, a gifted
pupil of Prof. Wallace, played two
piano selections with the organ ac-
compartment, one of which was his
own arrangement OF Home, Sweet
Home."
The choice of selections throughout
was happy one from Haydn's Largo
Cantabile from Fifth Symphony" to
cycle of popular favorites, THE Old
Refrain" (Kreisler), "a Perfect Day"
Carrie Jacobs-Bond) and The Ros-
ary'' (Nevin).
