Home and the Children

Home and the Children
What is home for, anyway,
II it's not for the children to play
what's the use OF rugs and chairs
II they cannot call them theirs?
Why are rooms and floors and halls,
Bannisters and papered walls
If they do not furnish Joy
For some little girl or boy:
Who would keep his house or nat
Echoing with don't do that?
Who would make his home a tomb,
Icy cold and filled with gloom,
Sending little ones away.
Shilling all their laughter gay
Just to keep in good repair
Parlor floor or couch or chair?
Seems to me that homes a place
Where the youngsters ought to race:
Where the toys should lie about
Strewn in childhood's happy rout,
And the walls should. here and there,
Show some smudgy symbol where
Sticky little hands had been.
Home should never be too clean.
Home should never be too clean.
Better far the marks OF feet
On the vanished rungs Of chairs
And the scratches on the stairs
AID the glad disorder which
Prove the home with joys is rich
Than the mansions stiff brocade
Where no child has ever played.

from A. n. Smith. Jr.. by his father.
A. n. Smith, ST. OF No. 80 Pleasant
street. Hallowell
En- Route to the Rhine with the
4. y. T..
Dec. ;. 1918.
ScWeich, Germany.
Hello Dad
We have gotten so far on our
march to the Rhine. 1t is quite some
experience and we are seeing Il lot of
historic country. But, believe me.
We still have our eyes on the good old
United States. We spent in all about
a week in the Duchy of Luxembourg
before crossing the Moselle which is
the boundary between Deutcnland
and Luxembourg. We crossed the
line the day before yesterday an! be-
lievc me. we don't see any decorated
buildings or any flags flying. | met
an automobile with German officers in
it which was flying the white flag
which is the only one that we saw.
The people look at us with Il sort
of curious indifferenceS but we are
used we'll by them. We do not mix
with them any Once in 4 while we
meet a German who used to live in
the States and he puts up his excuses.
but his argument doesn't go with us.
He has to admit that Germany start
ed the war and that they are swal-
lowing the bitterest pill that they
have ever had handed out to them.
Since we entered Luxembourg, the
scenery has been very beautiful. The
Moselle river flows through the noun
tains in this section. They are Won
dcrful. they rise to such a height. and
on many of the highest are ruins Of
the castles of the robber barons that
used to prey on the little villages that
nestle beside the river at their bases.
All of the mountains are covered with
vineyards way to the tops, the sides
of the hills being terraced to keep the
water from washing them away.
We passed through the historic city
Of Triers which dates away back be-
fore Christ to the Romans. The
great Roman amphitheatre Still

gates to the old city. In the treasury

didn't stop in the town but saw the
old Roman structures as we passed
through. II is now an up-to- date
city with subways and electric cars.
The people don't seem to have suf-
fered much from the war. They are
we'll dressed and although rationed,
don't looked starved. The towns in
Germany are more impressive than
those of France. While they cling to
the custom Of piling their dressing in
the front yard. the houses are all plas-
tered and have a tile Wainscoting
and tile floors which are only to be
slushed out to keep them clean. The
stores in the cities are filled with
everything from toys to automobiles
and they seem to be ready for bust
ness.
This country is the heart OF the
Moselle wine producing lands and 1t
seems to be the only industry here
abouis. Tho country is SO hiily that
