"LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!"

"It's a singular thing," writes a modern author, "That in so many homes Golden opportunities of, happiness ore j lost, which, by a slight effort, could be so easily, seized and enjoyed to tho full." It does seem a curious thing, almost against reason, but it is none the less a fact. An astonishingly large number of peonlo nro not happy mainly fo.ecau.so they have never seriously tried to !>", or have not tried long enough in the right, way. , "That Brown's a jolly good fellow!" , fairl ono young man to h>s friend. "Glad voti introduced me to him. I should like to know him well." "Yes, he's a good port, isn't he?" ro-t-.rrned tho other. "And very popular. Ho's such A GEMU3 FOR FUN !" That was the secret of his popularity. The liocht-hearted, affectionate, penerous folk am always the hanpi^ct. 'lliey have their, trials and troubles ju«»t lik« ot^er people; only instead of sitting in their chairs of. .ah eveninu, fiiitl marshalliiiE; their woes in p long lin^ for inspe^tirn, they-think of them n.5 little as possible, firmly and resolute1v refusing to allow thomaelves to p^h in any way, depressed.- Neither .will they indulge in tha selfish habit of

making other people miserable by talking of their woe>. Instead, they cultivate their pense of humour and that "iComus for fun" which goes so far in MAKING HOMES HAPPY, bud families>strong and well. •' '"When the long.day's work is done, Laugh -a. bit and have some fun" - !s an excellent motto. Lot the members of a family unite and have their fun together. There are jolly games in plenty, ■ and, should, you tire. of the old ones, there are hundreds you can invent if you like. ..A happy, jolly family, forgetting all worries of this world in :i round of innocent fun, is one of the pleasantest sights imaginable. Maybe yqu^iro often tired after your day's work", and/truth to toll, a little grumpy; but doiv't, let : that stop the 1 tun. Rouso j'ourself -and join in it heartily. It may be an effort—but it 13 worth it!
