HARMONY MAKES IDEAL HOME
Without 1t, the Living Place Is Moth
ing But a Weak Imitation Of
the Real Thing.

"One hundred men make an encamp-
ment, but it takes woman to make a
home" There is vast difference be-
tween house and home, Farm Life OBJ
serves. Both have roof, rooms, win
dOws, doors and furnishings; in both
ore finds shelter; but IN the true home
there is an atmosphere, a sense Of
comfort and security, a feeling Of be-
ing in a safe harbor, restfulness and
freedom, a knowledge Of peace and
quiet enjoyment that one finds in no
other place.
In an ideal home there should be
first Of all harmony. Harmony is one
Of the sweetest words in the English
language. It's meaning Of agreement
and musical concord soothes and de-
lights. A harmonious home, be it ever
SO small and humble, is one in which
the inmates live in peace; no wran-
Cling, no contradiction, no bossing
and interfering, no suspicion, no rude
ness, no Jealousy.
In such home, subjects on which
there is a difference of opinion are
av oi5ed. Charity stands at the gate of
the lips and prevents personalities, bit
ter remarks and unjust criticism.
In real home all rough edges are
smcothe3 down. The inmates. men,
women and children are frank, fear
less, loving, loyal-each doing his or
her part willingly and joyously, with
out complaint and whining.
In the home, as on the stage, each
one has a different part to play-the
whole makes a finished production
that delights the eye and charms the
ear.

A priest one Sunday was showing
off his class and proceeded to ask one
little boy in the presence of the arch
bishop: What is matrimony?"
The little boys eyes bulged out at
the suddenness with which the ques-
ton was put, and then he said me-
chanically: "Matrimony is a state
of punishment to which some souls
are condemned to suffer for a while
before they are considered good
enough to go to heaven"
"Tut, tut" said the priest. THAT
is the definition of purgatory."
Let him alone" said the arch
bishop. ''He may be right-what do
you and know about it, anyway"

GREAT SUPERIORITY OF MULE
