takes a different knack of arrange
rooms or three persons to live in
three rooms than for one person to
live in one room. You have to set
about your problem of furnishing
from a different angle.
The trouble with the rooms occu-
pied by most "one-room girls Is that
they try to do too much in small
space. They try to make the room
too cozy, too artistic. too studfoesque.
Simplicity is much to be desired
in this one room. though II is diff

Nothing doing. You've made trouble
enough for Johnny Chuck for one

He made a sign which Bowser
knew meant that he was to follow.
Such a look of disappointment as
there was on Bowsers face. His tail
dropped and his head hung low as
reluctantly he followed at his mas

stopped to look back. but each time
his master snapped his fingers and
Bowser promptly followed on.
