If you answer brick, or wood, or stone, you do not un­ derstand the question. Perhaps we should put it another way: . Is your house a home? Home, as the poet has Said, is ."where the heart is." And yet ,much more. Home is a place of comfort, of rest and security, of real happiness. It is not just "living" that makes a house a home; it is more. ' Home is where love and affec­ tion abound, where someone0 helps, where someone cares. A house cannot be a home Just at mealtimes, or only in the late hours of the evening. If a house is a home, there's love and warmth enough to last around the dock, each and every day of the year. « « • Bad Flight French astronomer Pierre Janssen was so intent on photo­ graphing the solar eclipse of 1870, during the Franco-Prussian War, that he risked German rifle fire to escape from the siege of Paris in a balloon.
