MONDAY.
! -dr. and Mrs. Hooper put in the greater
part Of yesterday talking over their
plans for furnishing the new house. AfteF
deciding to take it on Saturday after
noon. they had gone downtown Imme-
diately to the real estate agents Office,
signed lease for a year. with the option
OF taking it again for another year at the
same price. They paid the first months
rent IN advance, and as Mrs. Hooper
looked at the receipt and put the lease
, in her handbag, she felt really more
content than she had been since her
arrival in indianapolis.
Yesterday morning, after church, they
had all gone to have another look at
the place and Mrs. Hooper was more
pleased than she had been even at her
first examination OF the house. 81 can
see good many possibilities in this
house that I failed to find in any OF
the others I looked at" she had said,
but It will be a long time before it
VIII look anything Ike our home at
Aayield."
"oh, I don't believe IT," said Henry
cheerfully. You will do wonders with
I 1t in nc time, and you will have a
chance to develop a lot OF your theories
as to how to make a house a practical
workshop along different lines from
those you used when you were making
4 the old house at Mayfeld into q 'hOme'"
i know it, agreed Mrs. Hooper,
/ laughing. The Mayheld house was be-
I ginning to feel so kind Of finished that
when I suggested plans for improvement
/ Tor Mrs. CampbelIs house or pointed out
/ TO any Of the club women IN our eco
nomic section that they might revolu-
/ tion!ze their housekeeping methods by
a few simple changes in the arrangement
/ OF their rooms used 20 sometimes wish
l could go home and try it in my own
house, which wouldn't be sensible, be-
cause I already had a perfectly good
idea worked out there long ago"
4 i haven't the least doubt that you
will be so busy and excited for the next
six months making this place into your
ideal OF home that you won't have time
+ to be lonesome or miss Mayheld at all"
remarked Henry.
Well, I certainly hope So" was all
Mrs. Hooper hal said as she looked an
praisingly abou the rooms on the ground
floor that seemed like bottomless pits
when it came TO filing them with fur
niture.
I'VE might as well go home and talk
I It over" she suggested finally The
children want their dinner and II will
need a good deal of consideration before
we buy a single stick of furniture
Well, you have from now until next
Saturday to buy your things and have
them sent home" said Henry.
I III certainly need It," answered Mrs.
Hooper grimly, because il will be no
+ easy matter to buy enough furniture Just
/ 10 get along with and not spend more
money than I'm really willing TO in
vest"
/ Wei. I intend TO leave that entirely
/ to you, Mary" smiled Henry as he fol-
lowed Mrs. Hooper from the kitchen out
I into the front hall.
Before we go, Roger" said his mother.
/ Il wish you'd make a little sketch Of
! these rooms on piece Of paper. 1t will
I be so much easier than TO try TO remem-
+ Der after we get home, just what spaces
have to be filed"
After dinner was over Mr.. and Mrs.
Hooper sat fer a long time talking OF
their plans for furnishing the house and
the decision had finally been to buy Just
> what they couldn't get along without at
first and then each week add something
70 their household equipment.
Roger had made a larger and neata'
pan OF al the rooms While his mother
and father were discussing finances and
after supper they had aT gathered around
the table in the crowded little dining
room and furnished the house on paper.
THE kitchen. dining-room and bed
rooms must be attended TO first" said
Mrs. Hooper, and I don't want to lose
any time getting those things sent up
to the house and arranged"
'As soon as you get the beds up" said
Henry, 81 think Roger and I will go over
there and spend the nights until you and
Helen and Betty are ready to come over,
then I can have our Mayfield things sent
right over from the storehouse and we
can unpack them at once"
