remarks '
"The value of noeial life has been unduly

mestic life. That a man should pluasn ami
cnteitain hia iieihbors or iicquaiiiliincc for
a few moment or hours, it. may he while he
is with them, dwindle into insiniflenncn by
the side of the question, whether lie nml, ,s
happy ihe companion of his life and the child
ren whoso weal or woe for time nnd 1 ternity
depends much on a father's influence. Thet
a vouian should he fascinated at a sociul
party, what is it compared with shedding the
rndinneo of love and kimlm ss oil husband
and chihlien iu her family ? Any irnciul life
