The car won't feel so full of

TENEMENT HOUSE HEARTS

In the days of our grandmothers, one means of measur-
ing ones social standing was by the number of times one
moved. The chest families often lived in the same house
for generation after generation. The "old homestead" shell
tered grandparents and often after them their grandchildren.
To move frequently labeled one as common"
In the modern day that theory has become to a great ex.
tent outworn. To move every few years is no longer a sign OF
class deterioration, even though one does not associate the
modern tenement with constant moving.
Much more important to our happiness and the nappl-
ness of others is not whether we have a tenement house NOV
ing propensity but whether we have a tenement house heart.
Every one is familiar with the kind Of people who con-
stantly change their affections. Such affection is cheaply
given and quickly given up. They put no value on old friends.
A little flattery from a new acquaintance, a chance Tor a Dit
more social prestige, and the old affection quickly and cas-
ily moves out to make room for the new occupant.
So it goes through life with people with tenement mouse
hearts. At the end Of the journey what have they! Merely
a few shallow, almost worthless friendships IN place OIL u
comfort and happiness that comes from association with old,
trusted and true friends; friends who can share the joys and
sorrows of one another's old age because they have travelled
over the same road together.
