ONCE-OVERS

Your home may be modest,
its furnishings plain and your
income small.
Yet there may be more of
genuine peace, happiness and
contentment in it than in a
majority Of more pretentious
homes.
If there is companionship,
good cheer, a general helpful
ness in spirit and in sympathy,
the modest home possesses the
most important ideal charac-
teriStics.
If within the four walls of
your home there is strong fam
lily love, perfect confidence and
full understanding there is no
reason why you should envy
any person or family on earth.
Money could not buy these
things that make a perfect
home for home depends upon
qualifications of the soul in
unison with other souls in your
home.
If you have a philosophy of
life that enables you to be con-
tented and happy with what
you are able to procure, you
have the key to a degree of
happiness which many have not
found.
On the other hand, if you
are dissatisfied because of what
you cannot have, life holds
little enjoyment for you.
Happiness rests very largely
within yourself as an individ-
ual.
Money may make the path
way smoother in some cases
but given a spirit Of apprecia-
ton of relative values and sur
rounded by those who love the
same, the plainest home is a
haven of rest, comfort and
contentment.

Letters to the Editor From Readers of The Times

in apple harvest time. Why
there are not more famous
artists coming from all parts
Of the world to see and paint
this wonderful country is be-
yond my comprehension. 1t
should rightly be the rendez-
vous Of the artist and poet, for
no where else in the world
can such beauty be found.
Truly the garden spot of the
world. Scenic and historic at
fractions everywhere. Always
an Intoxicating and invigorat-
ing breeze blowing. Natures
greatest miracles are to be
found here. Nothing but beauty
-loveliness calling for love.
Several young men were so
inspired with the great beauty
of the Shenandoah Valley that
they wrote a song which they
called Beautiful Shenandoah
Valley" This is a beautiful
waltz song-a lovely melody.
In fact, there are few melodies
on the market today which are
more beautiful. Still the num-
ber has never been very popu-
lar simply because the orches-
traS will not take hold of it.
AS it is a beautiful waltz, it is
naturally difficult to play and
most Of the orchestras seem to
prefer the simple numbers.

Editor, Times:
Every once in so often I read

about some lovely country
they have visited. I do not
think there is anything more
interesting than a beautifully
told story describing some
glorious country. Every now
and then I tune in on some
silver tongued orator painting
a lovely word picture Of some
beautiful spot in some far off
corner Of the globe. I cannot
find the words that will express
how I am thrilled by these
marvellous descriptions of
beauty. Quite often Floyd Glib

their various travels which they
thought was especially beauti-
full.

travelled a little myself. I have
strolled through the orange
