House Plans Important.

The care in the home and all other
forms of household work are greatly
facilitated by right planning and the
use of suitable materials for the

DIT Graham Taylor. the noted Chi.

nothing like a woman's intuition for
going directly to the point by the sho~t

that there is something almost uncan-
ny about the high average of correct .
ness in the apparent guesswork Of
Nomankind, and perhaps various men
who have tried to deceive their wives
agree with him.
The last of just the quality that this
student notes in woman is what has
long blocked the progress of giving IA

space greater than an ordinary move

Graham Taylor was crossing on a
