Excerpt from Our Homes and Their Adornment
That grand old Saxon word, Home, has for ages held a peerless place wherever the English language is spoken. And thus do we find it, under every zone, embalmed in song, cherished in the memory, and enshrined in the heart!
Too much, therefore, can scarcely be said on such a theme, nor too devoted a service rendered to such a cause. And knowing as we do how largely, in this country, Home Life influences both the individual and the State, we come to present the offering of Our Tribute in the imperishable form of a book, for the acceptance and appreciation of a Home-loving people!
The object of this, our labor, is to link - as in a marriage tie - this venerable and comprehensive word "home" with that other word of classic mold, but of modern application, - "adornment." And with the whole-hearted enthusiasm of "match-makers," we sincerely hope and believe that they will be found to be not "unequally yoked."
