an elaborate feast must be spread in
order to display the grace of:hospit-

with the kindly welcome of the truly
hospitable hostess, in the sweet spirit
of her home life. Itwill often cheer
and uplift to a degree far surpas-
sing the small effort expended.
I. have sometimes thought that
that was one of the secrets ofthe
friendly, neighborly, spirit which pre-
vailed in the early pioneer days in
this :country, 'We so often hear it
stated that people were much friend-

it was, perhaps, because all were.

when they came shared with the
family. Nowadays we all try to "go
one better" than our neighbor and
true hospitality suffers.
But there are few more heart-
warming experiences than to go into
a home where you feel you are wel-
come, being given a place as one of
the family, with no fuss made or ap-
ologies-,rffered. It is the acme of
hospitality to make 'a guest feel that
his or her coming is a pleasure and
his or her presence in the home adds
to the happiness of the occasion.
when unexpected company comes,
gives them the impression that the
time is very inoportune and that they
would have been much more welcome
some other time. Your really hos-
pitable hostess doesn't embarass
her visitors in this way. If she is
unprepared to a very great extent
she may murmur an apology, ex+
press the wish that she were not in
the midst of housecleaning, or some-
thing equally upsetting. But she
will hasten to make her visitors wel-
come and give them the best the
circumstances afford. Thus cheer-
ing them and making for herself a
memory free of regrets for her cool-
ness or lack of hospitality.

There is no grace more eluarming
•truly, than the grace of hopitality.
It is something like mercy,, "it bless=
• es those who give and those who
"take," and makes for peace and
goodwill amongst all who partici-
pate. •
Some people are naturally hospit-
able. They love to have people about
and they entertain in such kindly
manner that those who partake of
their hospitality are given to feel
that they are the ones' who are being
:favored. •
To such people the entertaining of
their friends is not a task to be
dreaded, it is a privilege to be wel-
comed. And as a rule these are the
folk who do not make a task of it,
who welcome their friends to what
they have, not spoilng it by too pro-
fuse apologies nor too much protest-
aticn as to what they would have
done had they expected your visit at

people wished to be present that the
Catholic°chapel built by the settlers
was unable . to accommodate • them
all. The marriages were therefore
solemnized before an alter erected in
a forest clearing, a romantic and ap-
propriate setting.
Some people never think 'of enter-
taining unless they have had ample.
time to prepare especially. The day
must be set and everything must be
prepared just so. There is no'spen-
taniety about such hospitality and
one is never sure whether one is be-
ing entertained out of duty or a real
wish for one's :company.I remember,
a husband saying to his Wife once
when a lady called on a member of

to have everything "just so," before

occasion she gave the impression of
a lack of hospitality which lingered
for years.
If one has to wait until every-

IMPROVEMENTS
It is not generally known that De -
Foe, the author of the noted imagin-
ative work "Robinson 'Crusoe" 'con-
tributed many original and ingenious
essays on social science. The locale
of "Robinson •Crusoe" is Tobago Is-
land in the British West Indies which
are being visited by an increasing.
number of Canadians each summer.
In a work which he published in
1697 entitled "Essay on Projects" he
gave expression to ideas often far in
advance of his own times. He wrote
with much sagacity on the science of
banking. In this work would appear
to be the germ, nut only a£ modern
'branch banks, butof the corporation
stock so much favored teday,-In an-
other essay on highways, he antici,
pated by more than two hundred
years the appointment of highway
commissions. He turned to the Roy
man system of highways and sup-
plied details of dimensions, drainage,
paving and materials. He also wrote
other essays on the higher education
of women, on assurance, on the law
of bankruptcy and on a national
pension scheme. In many directions
he was a genuine pioneer in sociolce
gical and economic directions, ' and
while the world has been slowly real,
izing many of the projects he advanc-
ed, it is practically unaware • of
their, literary +origin. He also pub
lished a newspaper called "The Re-
view" which van from 1764 to 1713
and wrote some suppositioous histor-
ies so vivid that one is inclined to
doubt that they were the works of
imagination and not reality.

If you would be your very best,

But seek with patience, day and night

THE SONG SPARROW
There is a little songbird that comes
in early spring,
And ere the frost and snow have
gone we hear him gaily sing,
His winsome notes are calling me a-
cross the fields of May
When as a child I often heard this
tender roundelay,
"Sweet, sweet, sweet, very merry
cheer."
The echo +of that dear refrain still
lingers in my heart,
Of meadowlands and orchards it
seems to be a part:
The dewy moss and grasses, the fray
gile blossoms among
Are closely interwoven with this mel•
oly of song,
"Sweet, sweet, sweet, very
cheer."

The fecund earth of corn' and wheat,
Echoing to the marching feet
Of rains and snows, and shaded un-

By grey tumultuous clouds of thun•

I believe in mountain weather,
In gravitation's stretching tether
That pulls us back from lambent
stars, •
That draws us back from perilous
moons,
To sweet fern at the pasture bars
And the quietness ;of afternoons.
I believe in the good sun playing
On endless water, moving, swaying,
In the singing tribe that go on wings
To celebrate such earthly things
As spring that shakes an April dawn
In wonder on a greening lawn,
As summer -walking to the tune
Of affluent and lovely June,
Of autumn breaking like a battle
To sound of arms and sudden rattle
Of winds arrayed against the trees,
A subject for an antique frieze
Carved by a cunning Grecian hand.
I believe in the hosts of men,
Walking, shouting in the land,
Who die and rise to sing again,
And give to earth, the very sod,
A heart that leaps to the throne of
