she's building her dream house. And
she's justifying Sam. in way" an
swered Jake. Il see some OF you
fellows don't know the story. I'll
tell you how it was"
This was the story Jake Blair told
to the group Of men in his office
that spring afternoon:
The Berry family had started life
in very humble circumstances, but,
as the years went by they added to
their little store and by the time
they reached middle age had &C.

his house. but as a steady young
workman he had credit and, by
saving, the debt was soon paid. Then
they wanted home. AS usual they
began to plan modestly. Two more
years of saving paid for l0-acre
plot.
81 want a 10-room house," Mrs.
Berry said She had reason for
that. Her father had not approved
Of Sam. ....
''What kind of a place will you
live in with him." he had asked
her. you've got 10 rooms here"
"Sam will get me 10 rooms, too"
she had answered.
But the house Sam built her had
only one room. We'll build on
next year." he told her. .r
But when the time came baby
was coming and they had to put of
building.
The first three children were born
in that room.
After 10 years of waiting Mrs.
Berry became respondent. The pref
ty rooms, which she had furnished
so many times in her imagination.
were given up. When Bill Southern
sold his old house after he built the
