Not Much at Start
Money wasn't any too plentiful at
the start and 1 still remember tnelr
home as I first saw it. If ever
house was sparsely furnished, that
was il, The card table chairs were
always being dragged out when COM
nanv called, for there simply wash
anv other place to sit down! ana
the tinv dinette set they purchased
was lost in the dining room. The one
bedroom had bed in 1t, and one
chest of drawers-that was all.
Every piece of furniture IN the
house. however, was we'll chosen
in good taste and we'll built. And
they took care of it. In the family
budget every year was an allowance
for furnishings an amount tnat
grew each year as the young husband
earned a larger income. First L not
iced two new chairs in the living room
a few months later dressing
table in the bedroom next came
kitchen cabinet to remedy the lack
of storage space in the kitchen.
There was a lapse for the rest of
the house while nursery was added
to the scene When a larger home
was secured to provide for the extra
space needed, the furnishings were
shifted and more new pieces added.
AS 1 recall it, nine years passed be-
fore a real dining room suite was pur-
chased, and the little dinette moved
to a breakfast room, where it is still
being used and it's just the
thing in its present surroundings.
Beautiful Home Attained
Naturally, their home today repre-

fine furniture costs money Spread
over the years, the cost has always
been reasonable -. and yet a visitor,
entering their home today for the first
time, would mentally figure their in
come at much higher figure than is
actually the case. incidentally, don't
forget that people judge you by the
appearance of your home -. they do!
Their home is now completely fur
nished-much more completely than
the average homeland the budgeted
allowance for furnishings is being
spent for requirements. One of the
bedrooms is socn to go modern. A
gorgeous living room rug has been Sc
lected and the cid one, still disable, is
to be cut down to fit bedroom here

Some families, more fortunate, are
able to start married life in a grand
er style. But whether the job is
done slowly, or all at once, a home
that receives the attention that it de-
