Home Life Made Beautiful: In Story, Song, Sketch and Picture (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Home Life Made Beautiful: In Story, Song, Sketch and Picture

But this has been changed in the progress of history, the Gentle Reader is no longer of one sex or of one occupation. We find the Gentle Reader everywhere, and to him and to her I address this volume on the art of upbuilding and of keeping fair and sweet the pleasant home. For a pleasant home is a necessity to us. And let it be ever so plain or ever so elegant, it is not home unless it ministers to what is best in our nature and gives scope to our energies, a reason for our ambitions, a place for our children to grow in, and a haven for us from the storm and the tempest.
