"There is no place like home," and there's no word in the French quite like It, either. "La raaison," and "Chez moi" the nearest approach to It or were until recently. But having heard the word "home" mentioned so often by Yankee soldiers, the French have adopted it as part of their own language. They, simply take their word "homme," the word for "man," and drop one of the mV. Every noun in French must be either masculine or feminine.

"Malson" Is feminine and so the French have decided to make the word home masculine to even things up. --Boston Globe, The Human Biennial. I like to think of our human experience as a biennial rather than a merely annual life, preparing here for blossoming and fruit-bearing yonder. Why not! Are Joy and Jove exhausted In single throw? Are not the weeds of the roadside well assured of the returning of the sun? "Are ye not much Utter than they?" What If, like them, we are forced to keen ricmo tn earth and seem to have no chance of present blossoming? Why not be ac cumulators, lr Hardly attained now? And so I argue from the growing, un pretentious virtues of my neighbor's character; my neighbor who, no far as I can see, never has had and never can have a chance of bloom Jn this earth-year, that he, too. Is a biennial, for whom chance of fruitage Is surely coming after the frosts and snow of earth are gone.
