What is Home?

Eight hundred replies came to London maga-
zine which asked the question. What is home?'
These answers were written by persons represent
ing all classes of society. They emanated from
homes of refinement and wealth, and from those of
crudeness and poverty. Seven, which the editor
called gems. were selected and published. These

'Home-A world of strife shut out. world of
love shut in"
"Home-The place where the small are great
and the great small"
"Home-The fathers kingdom, the mothers
world, and the child's paradise"
"Home-The place where we grumble the most
and are treated the BEST"
''Home-The center of our affection, round
which our hearts best wishes twine."
"Home-The place where our stomachs get
three square meals daily and hearts thousand"
"Home-The only place on earth where the
faults and fangs of humanity are hidden under the
sweet mantle of charity."-Sel
