Dment: You know the rent was raised
on them in the house they lived in. and
they just naturally couldn't make the grade.
And they hated TO go because their neigh
bOrs were best friends. and they d been living
alongside of each other for so long that they
didn' sec how they could get along without
each other. because if somebody came in
Unexpectedly for lunch with Anne and she
didn't have anything but some toast and
tea to offer them. she was perfectly sure
that D. would hav" something canned
that she could "borrow.' So naturally
when both families started house hunting
they looked for something aS near as possible
to each other. And one Sunday Anne and
liusbani were taking walk and they passed
an apartment house. From force of habit
they went in to see if there were any vacan-
cies. There w"re and they went through
the Vacancy and found it perfectly lovely
and the rent even more lOvely-and that Ger
tainly is large part of the lovely in these
days. And just as they were leaving they
discovered that the apartment under them
was also vacant. So they fell on it with Il
low growl. rushed to a telephone. called up
b and family. made them hustle out
there. look over the apartment. sign up
aud about five days later. behold Anne rush
ing upstairs to D. for just cupful of
coffee. My dear. forgot to order it yes
terday; isn't that awful?"
