House or Home? ave you ever been in a house somehow or other neither felt mor looked like a "home"? If so, could you say what was the cause? You couldn't? Well, a home is a house which is used. It is lived in--obyiously lived in. It hias the personal touch. It isn't too tidy. You feel that there is no first showed its interest in the playing | need to tread warily and on tiptoe in| of the piano or the phonograph. Al case its immaculate tidiness and ibs ohilling -- yes, chilling! -- tidiness should be disturbed. Don't mistake my meaning! A house can be a home, and be clean, of course. It can be tidy, boo. But there are degrees in these virtues. They can be under-done, or over-done. It's dreadfully untidy--bo some--for a child's hat to be flung carelessly on the hall table, and with possibly a doll beside it. It "makes the house so un-| tidy, you know!" But is it not these | little touches, and others like them, | © which make a house a home? A woman's work-basket can be a wonk-basket, and yet non-homelike. It is in its right place, Everything in it; is perfectly tidy. By mo outward sign, does it show that it is used. "home" touch is provided when a half- knit sock hangs out of the basket, or @ piece of partly-worked embroidery has tumbled from the basket to the floor, Dreadfully uptidy--yes; but human and homely.

A child taught to love musie, by constant association with it, will learn more rmpidly and with greater desire than one whe is forced into studying a thing that it knows and cares nothing about. : Milky Way to Health Made Sweet and Easy. some of the new home-made milk drinks, They are eaisy to mix, have a high food value and a most pleasant taste.

Is it not a fact that some women| succeed in making a house a "home," in the real and comforting sense of' the word? The "house" seems to come first. Why do. some men spend so little time in the house? (The "house," mark you!) Because it isn't a home. They don't feel free in it. They can't relax. The comfort of a littie untidi-| ness is denied them. So out they go. And the reason is that their wives put [of "house" Lefore "home." ' Some, indeed, seem to 'put house before hushand. Use a house, give it the human touch, and it becomes a home. - Is it mot an awful experience to stay in a house where, say, the chintz loose covers on the chairs are creaseless, and it seems a desecration to sit on them ?

The average child develops many of _ his tastes during the first six or seven year of its life. It'is during this per- fod that its interest for music should be stimulated, Children are always interested in things that they see and shelf flavors with milk.
