TO all of us who knew it; it seemed almost iheididi homef- the one to which we always accepted invitations with glad' ness, arid the home jo which, if we had had to leave bur own, we would most willingly have gone. Y , ' : ,f It wasn't a fine place, at all: Just a little white cottage with a neat and ample lawn in front of it ra big tree or two to shadow and guard it; on one side an old-fashioned hidge of, flowering shrubbery, . and clambering roses, and stately holly" ' hocks and lilies, and back of these bright a nd fragrant beds of pansies and violets and snapdragons and sweet -Williams and old-time pinks and alt the harpy flowirs that delight to blossom in an informal garden. . ! ; y:;;-.-:vrv:.;., ITl Inside, too, it was all very simple and unpretentious with no fuisiness or show, but it was always neat and fresh and home like. , There was ever a blazing fire on cold winter evenings, and ever an air of shadowy coolness on hot summer days. On the waits were one or two tasteful pictures that had stories to tell pictures that didn't grow old; one side of the little sitting' room was lined with books', not gaudy volumes leftbyjvandering' agents, but well selected editions, of Dickens and Scott and Shake speare and the other masters; a piano, such as no home is quite complete without; filled another corner. And something in the spirit of the place mode one Just snuggle down, as it were, into his little nook, and enjoy the book or the game or the song. Perhaps if was the keeper of the home who gave it this at mosphere; for she seemed a part of, so like herself had she made it. ' With all her household duties she found time to enjoy life and to make others, enjoy it. One marvelled how she did so much possibly it was because she had learned how to save tabor, arid, because, humble as the home was, it was convenient and equipped with the i definite idea of making her work easy, "I would rather spend money for comfort and leisure than for dis play she said. So she found enough leisure to fill her home with comfort, and to make it a place to which one tired or dis couraged could always turn and find rest or inspiration. And the best part of the story is that nearly alt of us, if we prily try, may have1 such homes as this for our own. Is not the result worth the effort?
