A young woman of Wilkesbarre,
ra., who was ni.ed 67 cents for
swearing at a visitor made the
defense that she should be allow
ed this freedom of speech in her
own home. While this may sound
like a spirited plea for the liber
ties of the home, the thought
sometimes occurs that the bweetest
of places might be the better lor
somecf the restrictions that apply
to our broader social intercourse.
It is by no means certain, for
example, that the home of the
young woman referred to is im
proved because she raises her
voice there in profanity. We
might even argue that there would
he a much greater improvement il
she'did not faiie"her oice at all.
A low, softly modulated toue is
not only pleasanter for the visit
ing neighbors, but for the old folks
at home and for brother and sis
ter. On the other hand, a scrt ech
ing and a bawling, even without
profanity, are particularly hard to
bear when there is no escapo into
the outer datkuess.
However, this is but one phase
of the question, which is really of
the broadest imaginable dimen
sions. Sometimes the liberty of
the home goes to the other extrelue
and manilests itself iu a portent
ous silence that is as difficult to
endure as an excited outpouring
of denunciation. In one case, as in
the other, we miss the good form
that is imposed by society and we
long for a return to society, fox
formality instead of of freedom.
Anything, in fact, is preferable to
the much -too cozy home circle,
and under'such circumstances the
comfortable old slipper does not
sugge3t comfort. It leeis rather a
if it might be something to throw.
But whether fieedem shrieks or
goes dumb the dtsideratum seems
to be about the same, and it is the
same with mau and woman. Why
ignore the little refinements and
graces and courtesies in the home
that are for common u-e outside

Dr. Battle aays: "The first

the Indians. If we may divide the
state ot society into the savage,
the barbarous and the. civilized,
we might place them in the second
class. So late as fifty years ago
(circa 17C2) there were only a few
neighborhoods on the wat ercoune
