HOME

If you have not read "Home THE BEST GIFT BOOK IS Thoughts" you have missed the literary treat of the year. A notable critic compares its style to that of Washington Irving and George Wm. Curtis. It isn't a continuous story, you can read a chapter at a time. Exceedingly interesting in every line, it touches deeply that which is nearest and dearest to us all. The relations of husband and wife, parent and child, and the broad field of home life give the chief themes. No recent book is so valuable as a help to right thinking and right living as "Home Thoughts."
