There are people who would not trust or employ anybody that had been in the House of Correction or in a prison, for fear he would rob or pick the pocket of his benefactor. The truth is, however, his kindness, in nine cases out of ten, would be the best of guarantees against such an occurrence from a poor, unfortunate fellow set on his feet again. It is the best of business any day to find time to do something for somebody other than yourself. Signed AtlSftUt 13, 1930. Their appearance is no trifle. The influence of their furnishings goes to elevate or to depress. Here's Mother, the most important person in the whole home, spending so much of her time there Here Mother would like to interrupt, to insist (mother-like) that the rest of the family father, the girls, the boys are the really important ones; so it's evident that a number of highly important persons are spending the most important hours of their day those of rest, of nourishment, of study, of recreation in the home.

The Fifth Floor, with all its lovely and luxurious In Reference to Your Home FIRST, what is home? No end of definitions of all kinds, "smarty," cynical or super-sentimental, have been coined to supplement those which the dictionary furnishes for this word, the strongest-pulling, with the exception of two others, in the English language. Not .one of the definitions was needed. Everybody knows what "home" means, or should mean. He knows it before he can speak. Perhaps the best of them all, the most familiar is, "Home is where Mother is." Yes, Mother is in her home a good sight of her time. . Maybe she would like to get outside of the home a bit more often, if she consulted her own wishes (mothers rarely do); but no matter what's on the screen this week, who is visiting over at Betty Wright's whom she'd like to run in and call on, or who 'phones her up to "Get ready and take a little spin in the car with us," there are urgent things to be done in the various rooms of the house sleeping-room, living-room, dining-room, even kitchen and Mother sticks on her job: This makes Sleeping -Room Living-Room Dining-Room and All Rooms Pretty Important Rooms pieces t for living-rooms, libraries, drawing-rooms, reception halls, is like some great, brilliant museum, but every piece on display is at your disposal.
