VALUE OF TACT

Good, manners may truly be said to have their basis in consideration for other people. But while tact certainly cenles under the heading of good manners, it needs also that touch of subtlety which is the dividing line between courtesy and diplomacy.

Diplomacy is often obvious and may be recognized. but true tact is

[Foolish Man Who Doen’t See That Others Gauge His Success by the Appearance of His House- Only" Cure for Inter. fering Mother

Dear Alias Dix-We ‘live in 5 little town in which we belong to n number of orders in which both hold offices. and both of us no popular. ‘Now here is the trouble: My husband finds money for everything he wants, but none for giving us n decent home. We still live in the little shack in which we moved when we first cams to this place. There is not a window or door in ll. that fits nor a modem 00n- vcnicnce nor comfort, nor have I a whole piece of furniture. I cannot entertain as the other women do and I am ashamed to ask anybody to my house but when I talk about giving up my oflices and breaking away from the crowd my husband says I am crazy and am trying to ruin him. If we could not afford a. better home, 1 would content myself

with his, but we can. What can I do? '

' nawN-l-rmnmv.

Answer :

I

Stu

I t Nothing. Unless you haw. the courage to go out and rent the kind of house that you know you can afford and buy the kind of furniture you need and also can aflord and then tell your husband that he can come along and live comfortably with you and pay for it, or else you will take

in boarders and pay for it yourself, but that you are tired of living in a )

dog kennel and don't propose to do so any longer. ,

I knew a “roman who had a husband like yours and she followed this plan, and, after throwing a few fits, the husband went along as meekly as Mary's little lamb, and was as proud as punch of his new home and the standing it gave him in the community. .

If you are afraid to try this scheme, why don't you get some of his fellow lodge L a, especially those he looks up to, to kid him about the kind of house he lives in? Often a. man will listen to what other men say when he turns a. deaf ear to his wife's entrectles. Anyway, if ‘you can sell him to the idea that it reflects upon him, and shows that he

is less successful than other men to live in a tumbledown old house, you , will move him out of Poverty Fiat to Prosperity Row"

I can never understand a. man not wanting to own his own home and not taking an interest in making it as comfortable and beautFul and ‘attractive as he can. For there is no thrill greater than possessing a little bit of the good earth; there is nothing more interesting than plant- ing trees and shrubs and flowers, and watching them grow: there ls nothing that gives such a sense of comfort and‘ security as to know that. your house belongs to you, that it ls your castle with which you may do as you please, that it la a safe shelter against the storm and stress of the world. It gives a feeling of permanence to know that you are anch- ored, that you are not going to move on the first of next October or next. May and that. no rent collector is coming every month beating on your door.

To own your own home is the outward and visible sign of success. It is the badge of good citizenship and it brings some of the purest happi- ness that the human heart ever knows.

And to a. woman her home means even more than it does to n mm. Its four walls make her world. There her ilfe works itself out. It ls the scene of her activities. It encompasses her desires and. aspirations.

Show me the woman who is interested in her home, the woman who keeps it as neat as a pin, the woman who is always trying to beautify it and make it a little prettier and more comfortable, the woman who takes a. pride in her cooking and her kitchen, and l‘. will show you a. good wife and mother. The sort o! oman who is u real helpmeet to her husband and who raises up children who are an honor and credit to her and the community. But show me a. woman who takes no interest in her home, who has no pride in it and who gads away from it every minute that she can, and _ I will show you a. woman who poisons her family on bad cooking and I whose children grow up into hoodlums because they are reared on the street.

It is strange but true that men do not realize how much a woman's home means to her, nor do they realize the value that c. woman sets on her belongings, nor how her happiness is bound up in chairs and rugs and draperies. If they did, they would not be, as they so often are, so nig- gardly about buying new furniture. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix-J have three grown children and one of the best ihusbands in the world. but my home is made miserable and we are all turning into grouches by my mother, who lives with us. She makes our every minute miserable by her fault-finding and cutting remarks about everything we do and leave undone. She thinks she shoulddominnte our entire lives and we should obey her Just as if we were little children, and she is furious if we leave her at home at all or fail to take her every- where we go. My nerves are simply worn out with the strain. What shall we do? PERPLEXED. Answer: y

A family should be run for the greatest good for the greatest number, and if there is one member of it who breaks up the pence and r _ pines: of all the rest then ‘u: or she should be as gently and painlessly removed

GARDEN NC

Seeds sown early often disap- point, but careful preparation and intelligent mu. gemcnt help to prevent this. The object here dif- fm from gardening in the open, and the method varies accordingly. These plants are to be transplant- ed once or twice. and the first aim should be to get a. good root sys- tem that will carry the plant through these disturbances. Thur:- forc. force root growth by provid- ing light, fibrous, fairly rich soil in beds where plants are to grow.
