THERE still remain
plenty of folks who
re m e m b er how
solemnly and continually
the thinkers and. near
thinkers of the later nine
teenth century discussed,
back and forth, the prob
lem, "Is life worth living? ?"
Some wit-or maybe
only a dyspeptic-suggest-
ed that it depended on the
liver.
Certainly, whether the
life in any home is worth
living depends on who
lives there, and how he or
she lives. The shuman fig
ures in the foreground
make the picture, so to
speak; but the background
is a mighty important
thing, too.
We don't consciously
know it's there, unless it's
moving day or house
cleaning time. And if we
are men we may never
know it at all, unless may
be to ask:
"Say, you've hung up
some new calicoes, haven't
your" or to jerk out:
"There goes that shade
tearing againl / wish to
