On Finding Dwelling
Completed, Equipped
BY DOROTHY DUCAS AND
ELIZABETH GORDON.

In order to get your own house-at
a price-you must be prepared to do
without some little things you may
have thought you would build into
your home when you first dreamed
of it. If you find a small house that
you like in development, all ready
made, don't turn it down because it
hasn't some of those extras" you
crave. They can be added later,
many of them.
One thing you may want is an
overhead garage door. The easy
lifting. smooth working overhead
door has become a must" to lot
of families. But if the house you
have in mind doesn't possess it, it
is very easy to add. Overhead doors
can be purchased for as little as
$2750 each, in Single-car size.
We have been looking at the cata-
logue of one maker of loW-priced
overhead doors. 1t shows all kinds
from expensive. electrically operated
doors to simple doors designed from
definite sizes of lumber specifically

then planning the furniture ar
rangements in the new house. If
the house is not occupied you may
be able to get it cleaned, curtain
rods in place and drawers and cup
boards ready for moving day.
About a week before you move
send out draperies, curtains and
rugs to be laundered and cleaned.
Have these delivered to the new
house and if possible get the cur
tains up and the rugs laid before
you move. This will mean that
furniture put in place will immedi-
ately give your new domicile that
nved-in look.
Then Mrs. Washington will start
packing. She finds it is very good
idea to sort and clean as she goes,
to straighten dresser drawers and

Of bread and cake. She plans for
this to go last and be unpacked
first right at the kitchen sink. Then
when the day wears on and every
one is tired a bowl of hot soup with
bread and butter will revive them
in soul and body.
Keep Bedclothes Together.
Before the van arrives she folds
up the bedclothes from each bed
into a bundle and takes down the
bed. If the movers place each
bundle with its own bed-the beds
may be made ready on short notice
in the new house.
You may help considerably by
moving fragile or delicate things in
your own car "by hand" Your
dresses may be lifted from the
hanger bar and carried across your
arm and hung in the new house
with hardly a crease Lamp shades,
delicate glass and china pictures
and silver may be handled this way

Through series Of canny trades and shrewd
purchases he acquired two chronometers,
three grandfather's clocks, an internal ma
chine and basketful of assorted alarm clocks.
These he has planted in various parts of his
room all ticking furiously. He admits that
the racket is terrific but explains happily that
it keeps him from hearing the radio next door.
Now, dear reader the bed you sleep in is
important. Do you use soft bed, hard bed
or sleep on the floor like the Chinese?
Sleeping on the floor when half-oocked is
a common practice, but how many of you
have tried it when sober? 1t has many ad-
vantages - to begin with, you save the cost
of bed; then, there is nothing to fall out OF
unless you are near an open window. Also,
the floor has no Jumps, if it has been carefully
swept The danger of getting your foot caught
in mousetrap can be easily avoided by SIM

sized tomcat crouching in corner of the bed

Some people find bath very helpful in
inducing slumber It's also an excellent way to
get clean - but that's the chance you take.
A friend of mine who, for some unaccountable
reason, hasn't been able to sleep since the
market crash in 1929, found out that if he
sat in hot tub for thirty minutes before
retiring. he would quickly fall asleep The
trouble was that he always fell asleep in the
bath and on three different occasions, his
family had to send for the emergency squad
to fish him out of the water and roll him over
a barrel.

A certain comely matron living in the out
skirts of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, thought she had
solved the leaking spigot problem. One night,
before going to bed she hammered crab
apple into the dripping nozzle. Unfortunately
her nine year old son, Crunion, had seen her
do it, and in the middle of the night. when all
was still, the sly youngster sneaked into the
bathroom and cribbed the crab apple. Later
that same night the matron concluded that

scheme out the window.
