What constitutes a home? Folk or furniture? A house, or those who inhabit it? This is a mystery that the wayward pes cannot solve with a purish. à home is expansive, indeed, for it includes all who are born in its charmed circle, and many more besides; bat is it a thing that grows that is subject to evolution? Make the answer to suit yourself; let it be whimsical or serious; but you may be sure that the spirit of home is not to be found in warehouses, nor in the auction shipps, nor in the market places of the world. It is an ethereal essence, with fluenry which fills every corner from cellar to garret, and given out its perfaïne even to the stranger that enters the door. And if you have even had a whiff of this subtle perfume, count yourself fortunate among the children of men'! *** Uncle Remus Mogwins..
