Hear the of the wise man of old con- the insidious nature of vie* thy heart with all diligence; out of it are the issues of life.” writer saw an old-time water- Wm trough filled with muddy water, ■karby a hog was lying supinely in Ms spring from which the water ' esnae. Cleanse the fountain of life : oast the stream that issues will be 1 wane and clear. As a man “thinketh > ho his heart, so is he.” ‘ "Blessed are the pure in heart, for shall see God.” Nothing can prepare a man to see God know Him than purity of motive regard to all things. And with will come not a dimming of but a growing perception of good. s the great passage of Paul in plans we find practically all g things requisite to lofty Chris- i character.

And where a woman’s pocket- book used to bulge with shopping lists and recipes it now holds pen ciled designs for bookcases and built In cupboards. These are signs of the times, for most of us are living In more crowded conditions than we like, and en- Joying a new house on paper helps the waiting time seem shorter. But are the chil dren included in this paper stage of the new house? They should be. Din's school note book and Laura's diary should be Just as full of sketches for their own rooms and for things they'd like to | see blifit Into the new house as are ! Father's pockets and Mother's purse. So dent de all year house planning when the children are asleep. Let them have the fan of saggestlng improvements they've admired In homes they have - visited, for children get about Into mere playmate's homes than parents are apt to visit. The two closets with the befit In dressing table between them which Laura admires In a friend's room may be the very way to solve her school girl neej! Mr a closet for playthings, since she hasn't outgrown her fond- ! ness for them, and a closet for the teen clothes in whleh she’s beginning to take an Interest. Beside M's a great Incentive to mstniss he able to keep clothes separate from boxes and other objects. And Don Is sure to have Ideas for a workshop that his parents couldn’t possibly dream up as sat isfactorily. Then, adults enjoy a quiet, order- . ly existence—children like noise and excitement. Why not plan room ar rangements together, from both points of view, since you have to live in the house as a family. Let the children in on the bud geting, too. Corners "always have to. be cut when you are finally con fronted with actual costs and this provides lessons in thrift and mak ing choices. If you can’t have both the ground floor screened porch and the screened sun gallery over the gartege, let the children have a vote on which means the most in com fort and enjoyment. The children can contribute to the finances, too. both by earning small sums and by giving up some accustomed luxury. If Laura wants more expensive wall paper than the budget allows, she may be willing to do with fewer sweaters and frocks to help pay for it. And sav ing for a cherished new room is a wonderful incentive for cutting down on sodas! It is one of life’s happiest experi ences, building a home. Even birds and animals enjoy it. So don’t make the mistake of thinking that chil dren lack this instinct for, and pride in ownership of a home. SNOWBIRDS IN FLIGHT . . .
