Perhaps the sidewalk entrances may
need repairing. or the porches have
to be painted, and surely every two
or three years house needs coat
or two of good paint. remembering
the slogan that when you save the

there's a cracked window pane some
where that needs replacing. or q cup

plus the services of q good decorator.
A few dollars invested in matters
like these aids the inmates Of any
dwelling, no matter how modest or
pretentious. to get new grip on life.
But just a word Of caution before
you do anything. Consider well what
should be done, make your plans. then
60 to dealers you can trust and make
your purchases. keeping In mind the
fact that those who advertise their
wares, who are unafraid to speak of
the merits Of their merchandise pub
iicly. through newspaper columns, are
the ones to turn TO both for advice
and for the actual investment Of the
dollars you have planned to spend for
the little things that help make Q
house a home.
