Home is the place for rest and pure enjoyment. It is the refuge from care, trouble, and all the tumults and turmoils of life. I t is the one spot where the heart's purest affections garner themselves, and seek their chosen resting·pla.ce. It is the woman's first duty to make this dwelling-place, over which she is the mother-queen, as cheery, cozy, and lovely as she can.' The first requisit e for this desired consumnrntion is that she herself be happy, hopeful, pleasant, and contentcrlly agreea ble. To become this she must live hygienically, she must eat proper food, wear comfortable clothes, and not be oppressed hy too many cares trnd burdens. II she is her own housekeeper, she should study to do her work on the most simple and easy plan, cook but a few dishes at it time, and have each as perfect in itself as possible. Woman has no more important duty than t hat of making home pleasant. Neatness and cleanliness are indispensable to a cheery, cozy-looking room. A plain room, plainly furnished and scrupulously clean, is far more bright and beautiful than a more pretentious one richly adorned with costly furniture that is soiled, mutilated, and always in disorder. A few thrifty, nicely kept flowering plant s and trailing vines are one of the most enlivening adjuncts to a living-room, and a aheltered, sunny window is for better for them, in modomtely cool weather, than the over-heated and often dusty inside position, and they are just as easily seen also. Should there be unsightl y objects in the room or recesses t lmt contrd.n necessary adjunct.<J to comfort and con venience, a bright chintz curtain will screen them from view, and will of itself make a pleasant r estingplaee for the eye. Should i· bit of plaateri· n g fall from the wall, a piece of white muslin neatly pasted over the place will bide the defect and Sltve toll further scaling off and droppiugs of litter. In a tbousancl ways one cn.n veil the ugly and add to the beautiful, until the hum blest l ittle home may becom 1i a very bower of pleasantness and cheerfulness. Th e love of the beautiful needs the fostering care of every one who would make life plea.mat arnl happy. \Vhoever creates a a. lovely picture, whether on canvas, in a poem, or on the broad brown bosom of mother earth, or in a cozy, cheerful home, adds to the world's priceless treasure, and does something toward elevating, refining, and happifying the race.

"There are those banisters all finger mark8 a.gain," said Mrs. Curry, as she made haste with a soft linen cloth to polish down the shining oak again. "George," she said as she ge.ve a decid ed wrench out of the basin of suds, "if you go up those stairs again before b ed -time you shall be punished. " " I should like to know where I am to go," said George, " I cannot stay in the kitchen I am so much in the way, and I can't go into the parlor for fear I'll muss that up ; and now you say I can't go up to my own room.
