Who doesn't remember those
childhood stories about cats and
dogs and horses and cows that
talked? The idea of an animal
actually saying words was some
thing wonderful and miraculous.
Probably you still tell these same
stories to your children.
Well, animals may talk-so far
as children are concerned-but
there is one thing which talks
both to children and to grown
ups :. and that is your home.
What your house looks like /.
what it stands for in your lives
-. what it says about you and
the way you live. These things
speak louder than words.
So often we let our homes say
the wrong things about us, sim
ply because we haven't bothered
to spruce up because we're too
busy, or because we feel it will
cost more than we can afford.

IHE HOME DECORATOR
(By H. w. Anderson)
Cosby Houses

Don't let this happen to your
home. There are so many things
you can do to- brighten your cas-
tie, both inside and out.
For one thing, it's of primary
Importance to keep your house
well painted inside and out. Good
paint makes your home beautiful
and much more valuable. For ex-
terror painting and large interior
surfaces, it is wise to employ a
good contracting painter. But
there are innumerable smaller
surfaces you yourself may keep
painted up in excellent condition
-. woodwork, furniture, floors
and smaller wall areas.
In order to be downright COM
plimentary about you, your house
must be clean and bright, spick
and span. If you can, give it that
new dress Of paint inside and out.
II you can't do that, scrub the
living daylights out of it. Make it
as spotless as a little boy on a
Sunday morning.
Mend that loose picket in the
fence and the sagging rail on the
porch. Scrub your window blinds
and repaint them. Be as harsh
in judging that home of yours as
your worst enemy would be.
1t isn't a matter of going out
and refurnishing your house and
making a lot of expensive altera-
lions. It just means doing abso-
lutely the best you can with what
Won have.
