~ No knowing the size Of you,
present place, I can't tell YOU
whether you could live in smaller
one or not, but you could probably
get along in a house Of four TO sir
rooms
f2) You will probably find tia,
you can get good deal more rent
from the house you now live in than
from smaller one you might rent
for the time being. A good reliable
real estate dealer can give you prices
and figures.
l3) There is no way to tell how
long the present high prices will pre-
vail. but il the war lasts three or
four years more, certainly prices
will stay up until peace is declared.
(4) BY doing Just what you suggest,
for one thing, giving up a big house
and living in small one, buying more
economically, observing the sugges-
tons of the food administrator, and
buying carefully and doing away with
Injuries and unnecessary things.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a
black fur coat that have worn two
seasons and it is beginning to wear.
out in places. Do you think il can De
fixed, and how? BABY DOLL. S
Yes, 1t probably can be repaired
by furrier. Take it to the place
you bought it and ask them how
much it would cost to have it put In
good shape. IL they still have the
same kind Of fur or can get it, they
can repair your coat SO that it will
not show the alterations and then i.
will be serviceable for some time YET.

THANKSGIVING PERFUMES.

Twas the night before Thanksgiving,
And floating through the rooms
Came the whirr of many voices,
The voices OF perfumes.
Don't you know perfumes have voices?
Well, they do, beyond doubt;
Many are but weak and weary,
Others strong enough to shout.
Some are sweet, like bells of morning.
Others faint, like twilight's sigh
And I've heard. within my lifetime
Perfumes voice in pumpkin pie.
Too, I've heard the voice Of pudding,
Plum and apple, If you please, =
Pop corn issued forth in laughter
Loud, and shrill, perhaps a sneeze.
'Tis the night before Thanksgiving
We are ''Hooyerizing, all
Or, IL not, I'm sure should be
Needing Hoover and his call.
But | hear Thanksgiving voices
Perfumes voices i'll the air
We can cook. conserve and conquer
Yet be thankful, everywhere.
ELSYE TASH safer.
