An engaged girl is rather apt to find, during the months befcre her marriage, that the long wait is show- ing up numerous little traits in her man which she hadn't noticed before. She finds that he's cross after a bad dinner—that he is much more tender and solicitous after a good cigar— that he's careless about the little things she values most highly. She runs into a number of unexpected flaws in her hero and she begins to worry. And nine times out of ten, she hasn't a thing in the world to worry about. Older people tell her wisely: “You'll get used to those things, dear. They won't seem im- portant to you after a while.” Usually they are right. Blt just once in a while they're all wrong in their advice. Amelia is worried about Rod. “I know I'm getting to that stage where L'm fussing over trifles, but still T can't bear Rod's siuppiness. A sofled shirt, a careless shave, dirty fingernails don't mean a thing to him. Of course. I love him and realize this | is just a passing phase. Probably I'll get used to it in no time." Here's a case where the comforta- | ble older pegple can’t say: “It will be all right in time." | The effect of personal uncleaniiness on some girls Is more | 1t 1= an actual physical revulsion after while. Amelia, at presen:, just | wrinkles her nose in dis:aste when Rod shows up in a spoited, greasy sult, showing an inch of dirty cuff be- ! low his coat sleeves—showing another inch of dirty fingernail. She may pass it off now with a sigh nd a shivg. But, oh boy. in the future years of married life. she won't et over it that easily. There'll come a time when she'll learn to despise her hushand's careless, sloppy habits {of dress—when his inattention to smali details of cleanliness will get | seriously on her nerves.

However, T am not talking about S {heoretical home. bt the nciual. practical home as it really exists. Dr. Johnson ence said that a second marriage was the final triumph of | hope over experienca. I think that the most wonderful illustration of the! incurable optimism of hur is that men and women are still able to keep, their dream of home untarnished. und believe that they will be able to| realize their ideal in spite of the homes most of them have come from them- acle of the homes they see all about them. For, stripped of all the camouflage with which we try to disguise the facts, what is the average home except a place of sacrifice and suffering; | ights or privileges: a place in which we have a place in which we are treated with con-| isults as we suffer nowhere else on! ugly a place in which we have 1 no vestige of privacy or liberty tumely, and are forced to endure such i earth? That our jailers are ofr hushands and wives and fathers and mothers and that they do not deliberateiy and with malice aforethought rob us of ou happiness does not mitigate our sufferings. Nor does it ease the situation for us te know that those who make cur lives intolerable love us well enough | (o die Yor us. The fact remains that the home of our ideal and the home of reality are | as far apart as the Poles. Wheretore we need to do”a Tot of moral house.| { cleaning {n our homes and see if we cannot make them alluring places to live in, instead of being Places from which every one flees as soon as he can.| §or consider what an awful indictment of the home it is that when | we need rest we go away from home to gei it. WHen we need a serene' atmosphere in which to build up our shattered nerves, the doctors send us away from home to find it. And when we want to enjoy ourselves we go away from home to do it. L Xow, if T were mapping out a plan for the reformation of the home, 1 should begin by combating the ancient and time-hinored belief that home i | a place where vou can be vourself. and freely display all the meanness and | crankiness and temper and brutality that vou hide from the balance of the ' world. There are plenty of men and women whose sole use for a hearthstone s to make'it a dumping ground for their cussedness. All of us know men who are suavity and gallantry itself to every other | woman, but who swear at their wives and things to them that they | would not dare say to any woman who had an able-bodied brother. We all| know women who are so mild and sweet and amiable abroad that butter, wouldn't melt im their mouths. hut whe are vixens and viragos at*home. 1 would lay the foundations of\a pleasant home by making such men and women realize that it is far more important for them to be decent in the! home than it is outside of it, and that the returns in comfort and presperity | wiil be greater. Also. that it is a debt ef honor that they owe o those to whom they are married and théir children. For strangers can avoid the society of the boorish and the shrewish, but no wife can escape her husband's surliness: no husband can avoid his wife's nagging: no children can get away from & house| of strife. 4 Next. T would combat the kindred theory that home is a place where | you can dispense with good manners. Over the door of most homes is inscribed the legend: “Abandon politeness, all ye who enter in.” At least, that Is the motto over the famiily entrance. Abroad, people trea: us with consideration. They spare our feelings. They withhold their cr sms, If they are going to stab they do it in the | back, but at home no such rezurd is shown for our Sensibilities. Our faults, i our folbles, our weaknesses, our m'stakes are kept before us, and we are dail. { forced to listen to the thing that we would rather die than hear. So peculiarl cruel is this candor of our near relations that it gives-a name to the most |\1ru.|,enl form of verbal attack upon an individual. We call it “telling home | truths.” . What a saiving of our vanity it would be, how many hurts it would gave our egos, how much it would make for peace and harmony, if only our nearest and dearest would treat us with the same degree of politeness that they show to chance-met strangers! ¥ ' Why should we tell sister that her hat is 10 years too young for her, and Aunt Jane that she makes herself a figsure of fun dressing like a flapper, when we would carefully refrain from making such remarks to Mrs. A and Mrs, B? We don't correct Mr. Jones’ grammar, or Mr. Smith's pronunciation, Why not keep tongues off brothers and husbands? Why not extend to our own household the little courtesies and uttentions that we show to guests? ‘After all, 1t is a small matter whether we make oursejves agreeable to people We see only once in a blue moon, but it is vitally necessary for us to be persona grata with those with whom we have to pass every day of our lives, H i i ! The next reformation I would institute in the home would be canning the questionnaire. There is no other one thing on earth so usxnvnt!r'n: as being put through the thigd degree about every thing you do and don’t do. There is no one who does not instinctively resent having to furnish an alibi for every minute of the day, and explain just exactly what he or she did or thought or said.
