Frayed Souls It is an exquisite -thing to• have a perfece house. In such a house -ev- erything is in • its place, high and low,, front and back, and in its place al- ways --not on set and state occasions, but always. The chairs and tables have their fixed relations tb one an- other and keep them. No dust is allowed to remain, or even to gather. The polish of the doors is immaculate. The furniture • covers and the wall' papers are intact, not faded by :n= trusive sunlight, not torn er.,frayed by the careless • claws of puppies or, kittens or the wayward activities of lively children. Every thitlp, looks finished • and • as it should be, and stays so. The Such a house is undeniably pleas- ant. to .enter,and restful to sojiurn `1M --;if it •is not stiff and 'artificial, and cheek it need not be. The visitor feels that egan came there is peace there, that life is order-! until IY and regular, and that the souls of ped, the inmates are orderly and regular scop- also. And the inmates themselves no I found doubt get pleasure out of it. It is I uP• a comfort to feel that you can find Sumg, things where you leave them; and. and the in a world that is always too prone to be topsy-turvy, a quiet corner, a safe harbor .and a well -ordered resting place give the troubled soul a sense of security that enables it to go out and fright its battles with more hope and assurance of success. Still, for the dwellers in such a house as we speak of it is not all peace. Constant order requires eon - g stant thought and attention on the rry- part of -some one, and, if you are to 1 of live in an abode that is never damag- er's ed, you have to be careful not to damage ,it. Unworn furniture is love - the ly; but if you want yours to be un - laid worn, you must never sit and never use the stand and move ve little, or you will wear it. A prime lement of peace is stability, and the buinan muscles were not meant to a stable, but to be used, with perpet 1 consumption of themselves and of everything that comes near them. But it is not so much the dwellers in the perfect house that deserve pity as the keeper of it. She may de- light in dustless. surfaces and unfad curtains and unscratched wall paper in his belt. stub.
