Wednesday morning, through the
courtesy of E. Reinhart Company and
G. b. Brown Company, the girls In
the House class visited the furniture
departments of the respective stores
and were shown the various styles
and finishes of different types of fur
niture. In taking down the prices
and descriptions OF furniture they
soon realized that one must use great
discretion and study In order to pur-
chase wisely on al average income.
1t would be so easy If one could
shop, buying this and that which
appealed to them without taking into
consideration the unity Of the whole
house with its relationship of line,
shape and color; its attractiveness
and yet simplicity, in order to meet
the needs of daily living and what
is now so important in the present
day high cos of living" to accom-
plish this and yet remain within ones
income.
The class have planned in detail
each type Of room for a house and
will now estimate the cost Of furnish
ing from catalogues and the prices
obtained in their visit to the Winnie
mucca stores.
