She was a typo’s darling fair, he
was her lover true; said he. “\ou
are the ‘type’for me. I’ll always
‘stick’ to you ; I’ve had a ‘chase,’
but now, my own, my ‘take’s re
vised. I guess ; and now that love
is ‘justified,’ why let us go to ‘press.’
The maiden hung her shapely head
and whispered in his ear, wh'leboth
cheeks were rosy red, “The ‘form’
is ready, dear.

Every honest prayer that is
breathed, every cross that, is car
ried, every trial thatis well endured,
every good work for our fellow
men lovingly done, every little task
that is conscientiously performed
for Christ’s glory, helps to make
Christian character beautiful, and
to load its boughs with “Apples of
gold” for God’s “baskets of silver.’

One Actress’s Experience.
Surely the actor may be forgiven
his frantic desire to appear on
Broadway after an experience like
that of the actress who tells her
story in the Woman’s Home Com
panion for November. It must
have been a deep davotiou to art
which could survive an experience
like this.
The most amazing was my dis
covery that the ancient ban against
the players, which existed in Rome
and persisted with the Puritins, is
still in force in certain places in
“enlightened America.” A New
England hotel-man told me that
“many a player’s pretty flat in
New York is furnished with towels
marked ‘Hotel Maj-stic,’ and spoons
stamped ‘Hotel Newman.” I’m
afraid there’s a grain of truth in
what he says. But I’ve seen ash
trays and such things in some col
lege rooms that wonldn’t bear too
close inspection. I’ve never heard
however, that colleye-men were
refused admittance to every hotel
in town, as “undesirable citizens.”
Yet that actually happened to me
in a certain town in Ohio.
When I reached the town in ques
tion—it beurs the same name as
the seat of a famous univetsity—l
was ill. I climbed into a carriage
at the station with my maid, and
tcld the driver to take us to the
better of the two hotels the town
boasted.
‘ It’s no use, miss,” he said. “They
won’t neither of ‘em take you.”
I was dumbfounded, and persist
ed in my request* The driver how
ever. wag right. Not oniy would
neither hotel rake me, though I
fancy I didn’t look disreputable
even if I did look ill. but neither
would so much as give me supper.
They could not cater to “show peo
ple,” the proprietors said. I then
told the driver to go aioDg the
streets, stopping wherever there
was a rign of a boarding- house.
After a while, the driver informed
me bruskly that he’d “got to feed
his hosses ar.’ get back to the de
pot,” so my maid and I were
dumped out the cold, dark,
muddy streets, with two heavey
hand-bags, in a strange town.
Dear Editor :—What do you say
—“my idea of Home,” in the
space you indicate? A volume,
and a large one, would be required
to discuss the mere outlines of this
subject. But you have given me
s:me time to boil down my crude
and imperfect ideas on this theme.
A great writer, you know, said on
one occasion. “This is a very long
letter, but positively I had not time
to make it shorter.”
“An Ideal Home,” you say.
Well, it mast be where love abides, j
rock-rooted in confidence.
It must be where physical com
forts are not wanting, but where
luxury and pretense have not usurp
ed the places of peace and repose.
There may be more joy in the hovel
than in the palace; but you are
asking for the “ideal” home, and
such a home requires all the com -
forts.
There must be music, because
music is the language of the soul
when ordinary language fails.
There must be religion. Ido not
speak of creeds or doctrines or Bi
bles or pr yer books. There must
be a deep, reverential, God-fearing
and God trusting religion, which
exemplifies the doctrine taught in
the sermon on the mount, and tbc
golden rule.
There should be calm, low voices,
and quiet manners There should
be children and books, and pictures
andj flowers. The silver hairs and
tremulous voice of age should be
there—the grandmother or grand
father, or both. The well-bred
guest should be there, and the way
to the door should not be hedged
against the poor, for he is “alwaye
with you.”
With these crude
cepted and applied. I should say
witn one whose literary shoes I am
not yrorthy to unloose:.
“Horiae, it is where the day-star springs.
I .And where the evening sun repeees;
Where’er the eagle spreads Ms wings
From northern snows to sduthern roses.’

The Ideal Home.
(Written for this department by
request and on condS^ o y omit,,
names. Out of six requ
out four of lady readers ha4l res
ponded as follow
My ideal honu, is not necessarily
adorned with the trappings of
wealth ; neither must it.be'saddea
ed by pinching poverty. A com—
iietence there mast be ; which, with
industry and thrift will preserve
its inmates from painful anxieties.
* In this home, the husband is
the bread winner, the wife the
home maker, and together they
reign as king and queen over the
little realm, *** **
The children, for there are child
ren in my ideal home, are loyal and
obedient subjects, every one ; and
it never occurs to them, to question
the divine right of their king and
queen to lule.
Order and system prevail; but
love and self-sacrifice for Love’s
sake, animates all hearts within
this home, and to be good and do
good is their constant rule of con
duct. Health, smiling goddess,
stands at. its portal and scatters
happiness and prosperity with lav
ish hands, The table is not only
the place where nature’s recurring
wants are daily supplied, but a
school of manners ; yet there harm
less mirth disports itself unrebuked,
and thought unfettered flows.
Books there are in abundance,
bringing the culture of all coun
tries and all ages within reach of
this charmed circle. Flowers bloom
in the window, a smile at yon from
' the garden paths with their.sug
gestions of beauty and refinement.
Yet, whatever else may be there,
the guests who frequent this house
are its choicest, most valued orna
ments.
Come in and have us send the
North Georgian to a relative.
