had expected. The rooms were large,
and much cooler than those in the small

nothing about draperies, as the house
was furnished with shades, and 1 would
do as New Workers did, wait until fall
before draping the windows. Out home

the hose to look nice in summer as well
in winter. But so long as it was the

was step in advance. a little better
than the old one. told myself that in

may have had I never doubted Tom's
