THE FAMILY COMBINE

Don't you think that in all fami1- ies there should be formed a sort of trust" or "combine'' to preserve the happiness of all? If the members are to do their duty they must join hands to add to the harmony and happiness of the home. It cannot be done by just one or two. They have no more right to betray their trust in this way than they have to be dishonest in business matters.
 Sharp speeches, sly little taunts, throwing in peoples faces of things done long ago, which should have been forgotten: Have you ever done one, or all of these little things? It isn't playing quite fair, is it? Let's remember this the next time we feel inclined to say or do something dis agreeable.
 The man at the head of the house hold can mar the pleasure of it, but he cannot make it. That must rest with the woman, and it is her great est privilege. It is impossible to get on happily with those whom we come in daily contact, if our minds are harboring sentiment against them for the little annoying things which come up so often. In such a state one isn't in a. mood to 'tget on.''
 To indulge in outbursts of temper means that we squander strength that, if controlled and put into busi-
