CLINGING TO THE HOME CIRCLE

A JOY SHARED IS A JOY DOUBLED

Says Tobacco Magnate,

The home is the most precious, taking home all thoir business thing in life. This is the view of worries. I would no, more do that Sir Louis Baron, in an interview than I would suggest a wife meeting with the Daily Herald, Sir Loula her husband with all her domestic -is Managing Director of the famous troubles.

In giving expression to his viewa, he stated:

་

If I had to sacrifice on the altar of necessity all that I hold. most precious in life except one thing, what would be my choice?

Cess,

That is a big question to have to decide. There are so many things in life that mean a great deal to us all. Health, wealth, ambition, suc

interests these business would all be difficult to give up.

But, in spite of these many ties and interests I would put home happiness us the one thing that would keep.

Alternatives, "Why not Homething more material, more tangible?" you may ask.

I

Why? Because in my opinion everything in life depends primarily upon our domestic surroundings and influences. A huppy home is the truest foundation for success.

But the knowledge that there is someone who understands and is al- ways ready with helpful advice means everything to a man:

Imagine the reverse. A man who has been faced with business dif- culties all day arrives home, only to be

met with further troubles, grumbling and differences. Un- happy within four walls, how can be happy at all-or successful in any- thing?

Happy Faces.

Mental relaxation is necessary to life. No one can be always in a state of mental and physical tension, And what better form of rest can there be after an anxious day than to be surrounded by sympathetic listeners and smiling faces?

A smile may mean so much especially when you are

tired or worried.

By placing domestic happiness 'as the best thing in life, I do not mean only the wonderful companionship Good health would probably be and love which can exist between chosen by many as the last thing; that they would relinquish. It is indeed a priceless gift. But even that would .mean Bittle without happiness in the home.

Business success is another choice that might be made. But, however, successful man may be his affairs, I do not think that hi suc- cess can bring him lasting saksfac- tion unless there is contented fimily life in the buckground.

The knowledge that there is wome- one at home who will understand and sympathise helps a business man to battle through the mos try- ing day,

Even the man who is unsuccess- fut in business, no matter how heavy his load of Borrow,, can smile through his troubles if there is sympathetic understanding at home.

So that when I arrive home,her first thoughts and questions are

Do not imagine, however, fo a moment that I am advocating en

Some might choose their

In business you do not expect re- turn without outlay. It is the same in life. You get out of it just what you are prepared do put into it.

And so in the happy-home sur- roundings which I consider the most essential thing for man you cannot take all and give nothing. Sym pathy calls for sympathy; love begets love.
