He NO longer has even straight
floors to walk on, the whole apartment
being covered with a series CT waves
of very dirty and very slippery can
vas. He moves cautiously along this
sea, marking his passage by the break
age of a series cf articles that lie un-
derneath his feet and make knobs in
the cloth.
Window blinds and curtains have
followed the carpets into the misty,
unknown land, and when the gas is
alight the whole fearful field of dev-
astation is an open book to the family
20 e.,
being in exactly the same situation
having no time and less desire to loc,k
on and gloat.
The children don't even knew now
where to lay their school books, and
in despair keep them dangling over
their shoulders until the mother comes
and piles them under the kitchen
sink alongside the canary cage and
the orange bowl. The father, who has
again sought refuge On the fire es-
cape, Immediately gets into hot water
by kicking eleven precious rubber
plants and creepers down into the

thing that has not got it's face to the

mantel shelf flanked by two hot water
bottles and dishpan, is picture

In all probability to add to the cup
OF joy, this is the hour which some in
f1uential friend or relative selects to
respond to long fcrg,tten invitation
to call and spend pleasant evening.
A ring at the door bell sends the man
franticly to the speaking tube, where
he Immediately proceeds to perjure
himself, and in a disguised voice an
nounces that the Jones family is cs1t
OF town and never expects to come
back. Thus ends the second day.
On the third evening when the head
Of the disrupted household reaches
home, there are glimmerings of bet
ter things. The slippery canvas has
gone and the floors of at least two
rooms have been cleared cf their
pots. On the walls the kalsomine is
beginning to dry in places, and really
starts to show some SYMPTOMS of dis
| solving itself into color that can be
lived with. There is a clear pathway
through the furniture to the bedrocm
and the bird cage is back on it's accus-
toned hook.
From this time on matters begin to
improve rapidly. By the end of the
week there is joyful reunion at the
supper table, when everybody is back
in his right mind and everything back
, in its right place. Before supper is
