Our homes are what we make them; they are the places which we seek when trouble; why should they not be kept attractive? so that when evening comes, your boys and girls will not seek other places of amuse ment, in preference to the home which should be their shelter from temptations. Make home attractive and pleasant, by being pleasant, and neatly appareled yourself; you need not necessarily go to any expense or trouble on account of dress, but sim- ply present a neat, cheerful appear- ance. Don't think because you are at home, that you can afford to be neglectful of your appearance. Do you not find those who are nearest and dearest you, in your own home? And are those not the very ones whom you live for?
