tlonal confidence.

In the business world, when a firm has to pass through u period of sunless days and stress and storm; alien they are long on hope and short oc prosperity: when the partners enthu■lastienlly agree with each other's policy : when the present looks grim and the future grimmer, they guard their confidences carefully; they f-ar their troubles may be known outside; they . refeUre that they are facing a problem that must !>e solved from within. Do: exploited from without. They feH an esprit de corps that makes :t seem disloyalty to talk matters over outside the breastwork 4. And In married life love, loyalty, dignity, it basic mutual respect should mahr this guarding of the sanctity of the home oven greater. Talking home matters outside is advertising tbe Insolvency of harmony. It weakens tin- credit a-id reputation of the home firm, uert often causes unjust ratings la the BradMrvwt of aoclet). A temporary trouble, that may be merely a week's cloud in the home Itself. may Ik- recorded as a “Damaging tornado." If given intensity of life hy being Idly talked of outside the family walla.

and dearest to us.

There are times In the home wbea •ome grievance, real or fancied, swells our feeling to a uangerous hlgh-Ude of emotion; |Hque or pride may sdd u new pang to suffering, and. canted ahuig by the torrent, we Ics-I we must tell it lo some one. It hardly matters what ears hear the story, ao tunl we may have our hearts filled with tbe consoling music of sweet Cjrmpathy. It may he a natural hunger, but it is none the less dangerous. Its very na-

ture may make It unjust.

In the iutensity of ft cling we concentratr In out; (snuphiint on tbe ellmax the word, iihraae or art that aiyut* tbe emeoce of our hurt. I tut

There Is unwisdom In talking too freely even of happiness in married life outside the home wails. It may give a new louen of twin to one straggling with a serious heart problem and unable to see a way out. It may be a tax on the couric*} and patience of tho*.- who rautiot he expected to fed a deep personal interest In the vaunted Joys of another.
