"There Is One Qood Wife
in the Country "
and happy is the man who knows he has her.
But he should tell her so for encourage
ment in her servitude to make the home a
little heaven on earth for the family and their
friends.
One travels the world around and comes
back invariably to say, there is no'place like
home. Do you remember that you were
tearfully homesick the first time you went to
Europe among strangers and had to work
your way with unknown languages?
The undoing of men and women who
come to large cities from the country is
mainly because they left their homes behind
them and nobody seemed to care.
