We are looking for "a place either in

bath, with garage or barn on the
premises and a small piece of ground
for garden or chickens. We want to

where there are facilities for reaching
the city promptly. My husband is a
city employee and while he is out of
town most of the time, there are times
when he has to be at New York early
in the morning.
At present we have a house in Long
Island. but the climatic conditions are
unsuited to my health and we will
have to move to a place where the air
IS not so moist
White Plains is another place we
would consider. At any rate we will
have to stay in New York State on
account Of DR.. R. being city en-
ploye.
We would be very glad to hear of
place, providing it is within our means,
and if we can get small place it will
be within our means. At our present
place we are paying S27.50 a month
