EEr HAD no idea it would be -
hard" said Janet a little
mournfully. She was seated
opposite Jarvis in a little Italian
restaurant. where they had gone to
take luncheon.
Jarvis smiled. well. / knew We
were going to have our hands FULL"
he responded. "but don't lose hope
yet, sweetheart, we have spent only
one morning"
Janet had looked forward with
such q lot Of hope to selecting 4
place to live. She and Jarvis had
made out list Of things to adhere
to, and they had determined no mat
ter how much they were tempted
not to give up one Of their precious
wants. The list was very much as
follows:
l. Must be downtown.
2. Must have a skylight
3. Must have a bathroom and
heat.
4. Must be in q fairly good neigh
borhood
s. Rent not over forty dollars.
This list might not sound exorbi-
tant to a layman, but to an artist
who is searching out places OF the
kind continually, the requirements
are well nigh impossible. Jarvis
had lived In studio before. He
had bunked in with another artist
in an apartment where they paid
forty dollars for one large sutdio
and three little holes in the wall
called rooms. There was no heat
save that. Afforded by a diapidated
stove in the studio proper, and hor-
ror Of horrors, no bathroom.
Jarvis had told Janet this after
they had turned disconsolately
away from several places.
II don't see why places are so
expensive" she had said, turning
her wide eyes upon him in sur
prise.
Worse and Worse.
But they were. and worse and
worse. even the most dreAry places
were taken almost Immediately II
they happened to possess a sky
light. They were told at one real
estate office that places downtown
were at a premium. Everybody
wants to live downtown" he had
explained land therefore we can
get the prices"
Janet hated the uptown apart
ments. She had lived in one herself,
a very expensive one. where the
rooms were I'll! the same and life
seemed cramped and domesticated.
Jarvis had conflded to her that he
would rather have two rooms that
we're large than half a dozen small
square ones, and so they had re-
solved not to give up. BIZ: to runt
