THUR SDAY.

THURSDAY.
Right after breakfast Mr.. Hooper and
Roger descended 10 the basement to con-
tinue the packing Of the fruits and vege-
tables that still almost filed the shelves
of Mrs. Hooper's preserve closet in spite
of the inroads that had been made upon
it for the last few months. She was still
determined TO have her store Of canned
food with which to begin housekeeping
in her new home, and Henry had been
finally persuaded that with careful pack
ing it was quito possible to ship it with
perfect safety.
Roger was even more skeptical than
his father about the possibility of it ar
irving safely and was loud in his sug-
gestions that they try 10 eat it all up
during the next two weeks. Finally, how
ever, barrels and boxes had been obtained
from the grocery store and with news
papers and old cloths and straw he and
his father after much talk against tbs
plan went to work TO do the very best
job they could under the circumstances.
Following the departure Of the Seldens
yesterday Mr. and Mrs Hooper had
gone carefully over the house TO see
just what ought 10 be done to put it
into good shape for their new tenant.
They felt that with the added rent they
were receiving that it was no more than
right that a few extra improvements
should be made even through the SeldOns
had made. no suggestions.
Il believe we ought 10 put some new
paper on this living ROOM" said Mr..
Hooper looking al It critically.
why, I had no intention Of changing
that paper for another year at least"
remarked Mrs. Hooper. cit IS really in
very good condition. why should we
change it,"
1T would have done very well for u.s."
answered Mr.. Hooper, "but I think we
owe 1t to the Seldens to do as much as
possible 70 freshen up the place. I'd GER
tainly be in favor Of new paper not only
in the living room, but in the dining
room and hail, too"
"AIl the woodwork would have to be
painted then or the whole place would
look worse than 1t does now because Of
the contrast between the new paper and
the old woodwork" observed Mrs.
Hooper.
well that wouldn't be any too much
to do when Mrs. Selden was nice enough
to let you keep al those things that you
would have had to buy as soon as you
We're settled again, Henry reminded her.
That is so" agreed Mrs. Hooper,
land It viii be an Improvement TO tho
house that We should have to make next
year If we have to rent the place again,
and I'd rather the Seldens had the benefit
OF IL while they are here
IF you viii select the paper and get
the paper hanger to come right in and
do the rooms" said Henry, Roger and
I will have plenty Of time to finish the
painting before I leave next week.
"Im sure you can replied Mrs.
Hooper. now that there is no packing OF
the furniture 10 be done you can get at
ii a. soon as you finish with the fruits
and vegetables
So right after luncheon Mrs. Hooper
had gone I'm town and selected new
plain paper for the two rooms and the
hall She chose a shade Of light tau that
had a good deal Of yellow in IT that re-
fectcd the light and would make the
room look cheerful as well as furnishing
an attractive background for the pic
lures. Having the paper alike IN all the
rooms was very much more economical
than having each one different and it
also had the effect Of making the house
look larger. The paper hanger could not
possibly come unti' Monday, but he
promised to be finished in one day SO
that Henry and Roger could get at the
painting on Tuesday and finish il all up
before Henry left on Saturday the 22nd.
This he planned would land him in In
dianapoHs in time to report to his new
boss on Monday, Jan. %.
