N0TIS0 MUCH CHANGE
EXPERIENCES OF TWO WOMEN
 WHEN THEY MOVED.
Eachi Found They Had Done a Whole Lof of Unnecessary Worrying as to How Their Furniture Was
 Going to Look.

T moved in the summer" remark. ed Brooklyn woman. T didn't move very far, but it makes a great differ ence. l moved from the rather cramped and semi-dark first floor of our apartment up to the top floor, flooded with sunlight and swimming in fresh air. Now, just before moved one of my best friends came to see me--a woman with whom I'm so intimate that she and I never hesi- tate to say to one another exactly what we think. I suppose you're go- ing to buy lot of new furniture. When you get these old things of yours up into that sunshine above there and spread out into so much more space you will see how shabby and inadequate it all is and you'll have to replace it.
 Now, was rather fond of my old furniture and l didn't at all relish the idea of losing it or of spending money for new.
 T moved. Then another intimate friend called to see me. She looked around at all my things with their very souls visible in the bright new light and all spread out conspicuous ly as they never had had to be down below in the smaller apartment As l waited for more criticism she turn ed to me beamingly and said: How fne your furniture looks up here. It fn cInA r, never realized how we'll it looked down in that little apartment where you didn't have room to display 1t and where it was too dim to let any one appreciate it. It makes all the difference in the world to bring it out into the good sunshine
 Isn't that delicious?"
 Tt is,' answered one of her hear. CTS. q had an experience similar to 1t earlier in the year, and I think women who contemplate moving to larger quarters and dread the expense of lot of new furniture should know of 1t. We mayed from tiny. narrow ugly house in row to big detached house. In the old place the furniture looked shabby and inartistic and we were always dissatisfied, though we knew it had cost good deal in the beginning. It had to be put in stiff rows, because there would have been no room for us to walk around, other wise. The cumbersome pieces we had brought from the big house we had originally lived in looked hideous The place we were moving to looked so much larger that everyone said we should have to buy quantities of things to fill it. My husband. even, wanted to sell most of our old truck as he called it, and start in brand new, but I convinced him that we could not possibly afford that, so we furbished things up as we'll as possi- ble, closed our eyes as they were re- moved, and then set about fixing the new house.
 "The first thing we discovered was that we had enough. There were things for every room. reveled in spreading out, for change, and found I could make the stiff-looking old fashioned article take on new airs of attraction and fit comfortably into big, irregular rooms where they had stuck out essentially in ugly rows of straightness before. I am not raving about my home, for know it has many defects and if I had plenty of money l should make many improve meEts, but 1 do know that in my new big sunny rooms everything we for merly halfdespised looks far better than ever it did before. And positive ly ali we have had to buy has been couple of chairs that we had been in- tending to get for year past, and few rugs to replace our heavy old car pets-which I refused to put down."
