9 GOLDEN CHERUBS
PLEASE 4N4STASE

BE it ever so humble and all that
still good deal can be done by th"
proper painter, paperhangcrs, furniture
people and 90 on.
This. it would seem. is the applied
philosophy of Anastase Andrevitch
Nonsiatskoy Nonsiatsky. Mrs. Marian
buckingham Renm Stephens, hcircss to
morning TO be married to him Saturday.
and NJ. d. Stiles, real estate agent of
Ridley Park.
So far the philosophy appears to be
all OH the side Of AnaStase Andrcvitch
and Mrs. Stephens and its application
all in the hands of Mr.. Stiles. 1t was
Mr.. Stiles who sent the towns most
prominent panerhanger. Harry Ver-
rcll. M to 505 Swarthmorc avenue TO
iuvenate the walls with plaster and
nice new oatmeal paper. and the painter
to cover the oak staircase with mahos-
any stain.
Have Option for Year
The house is to be the home of NJ. and
Nine. Vonsiatskoy Nonsiatsky. for as
long Us Anastasc Andrevitch thinks that
his duty lies in learning how to fit loco
motives together at the Baldwin plant at
! Eddystonc. 1t was Mr.. Stiles who per
suadcd his client. Mrs. Kathcrinc Stim-
I son. to let the pair have It on six
months lease with an option for the
/ rest Of the year.
The house is the sort described in
suburban real estate catalogues as two
stories and half 1t has half
dozen lop- sided gables and follows in
general the Chester \. Arthur school of
architecture.
Inside. however. is. great commotion.
Mr.. Verrill has but half finished his
work. and the electricians are just com
p!cting a metamorphosis of the light .
ing system. The big archer who holds
in one hand bow and with the other
supports the bannister lamp. has been
sent away to regain the bronze that s.,
many years OF indoor life have worn
away from him.
And this is but tenth of what is
going on.
One enters the house through Dutch
hallway, and passes then into the
somewhat larger room. where the So
cial leaders of Ridley Park suppose
that Mrs. VonsiatSkoy- Nonsiatsky will
entertain them. Next is the room where
the bride will pour the coffee Of Anas
tase Andrevitch, two seconds before he
breaks for the station and the I: :O7
to Baldwin's.
Upstairs there are three rooms about
nine by twenty, each of which has
advantages and disadvantages as 1
. location for the boudoir. Possibly th'
back room. which has two dormrr win
dows and adjoins the tiny bath. has
most to offer. for it looks only into the
| orchard and the rear of the house Of th'
Rev. Henry Turner, pastor Of the Meth
odlst Church.
Difficult for Shaving?
, In one spot in the bathroom it is pos
sible to stand erect. The bathroom Of
fers a variation to the motif of buff
colored oatmeal paper elsewhere in thu
house. 1t is done in baby blue 'oil
, cloth"
The half-story over is an attic, &C
s ressible to highly trained athlet
through Il trap door.
