SEVERAL days have passed since moving
day, but there is feeling now that life may
possibly be worth the living in the new
abode. The woman who is responsible for
the comfort Of the home has her own tasks
in connection with the refurnishment OF a
house in which very little Of the furniture
that was so exactly in its place in the old
home will consent to fit the new. 1t Is the
experience of most housekeepers-especiall
young ones-that 1t takes several weeks to
get settled down. A hint as to the way In
which this settled down feeling can be
hastened may not be out Of place. The
secret is a simple one. Let the big things In
the parlor find places as they may. but take
care that the ornaments, the knick-knacKs,
the statuettes, the pictures, the draDeries, the
thousand and one prettinesses that are in
the home of any woman of taste are ar
ranged as carefully as they ever were in the
old house. Once get these household goods
properly disposed of, and the bare, lonesome
feeling that is one of the horrors of a new
home will be dtsp elled like snow under the
warm breath Of spring.
