their dogs. Still more often have l
been at loss to know how to restore
my own possessions, which we're all
but wrecked by charming people
who turned out to be not very
charming tenants. At the other ex-
treme, l also have had the good
fortune to have had several perfect
tenants - one in fact, whose house
keeping has ever since been the
standard by which | have measured
perfection.
To certain degree. the attitude of
tenant is affected by the house she
takes. One that is fresh and colorful
and what might be called picture
pretty" is likely to be given better
care than one which is on the verge
of shabbiness. In the end, shabby
house Is taken by the flatpurses, be-
cause it's rent is low. The treatment
it receives is likely to match its own
shabbiness. This is not because the
renters are less conscientious than
most, but because they cannot afford
perhaps do not even know how -
to do the taking things that the
long-practiced housekeeper with
well-filled purse cannot resist attend
ing to.
And yet, the very worst treatment
ofproperty that have ever witnessed,
was the abuse of the literally price
less 18th Century possessions of a COL
lector, who found herself obliged to
lease her apartment to much adver-
tised heiress to millions. When the
owner returned to take the apartment
back, the drawing-room looked
strangely empty.
Where are all the chairs?" she
asked.
"Oh. those old wrecks?" said the
ex-tenant. MY husband wanted to
throw them out, but we tied all the
pieces together and they are down in
the storeroom, if you ever want to
look at them"

ing, your landlord is expected to pro-
vide them: china and glass enough
for family of six - unless your lease
says otherwise. He also must see that
the range, the plumbing, the furnace,
and whatever electric appliances there
may be are all in good working order.
He must supply you with utensils
enough for ordinary roasting, frying,
broiling, baking and stewing of typi-
cal family meals. and that is all.
Kitchen aides, and other electric appli-
ances are never included in furnished
house. Neither is linen nor silver. In
some communities, blankets are sup
piled, but not anywhere that / have
ever lived.
Make on Inventory
1HERE should, of course, be an in
ventory of everything in the house;
and the very first thing that you
should do, is to 60 over the inventory
and be careful to write down every
item of damage already done. This is
not discourteous criticism of imper-
fiction, but an assurance that you
won't be held responsible for damage
done before you took possession. If
there is no inventory, then you
should make a list of spots, worm
through places in rugs or furniture
covering, and show them to the owner
or his agent. Above all, you must
count Clipped items of glass, or china,
or worn-out kitchen utensils.
All well-bred people naturally feel
that taking care of things belonging
to Others is far greater obligation
than taking care of their own. But
the "mean-to-be-careful' are many;
the "competently careful are few.
The first rule, therefore, for one who
would be perfect tenant, is the SIM
pie one of stitch in time to save" -
something that otherwise will be
spoiled.
The most typical example of stitch
not taken is that of window shade
whose spring has grown weak. In
stead of winding it up, it is pulled
until it is finally torn off the roller
and hangs rumpled and limp. 1t
would have taken less than minute
to lift the roller out of its fixture, roll
the shade up half way, and put it
back! If it is rolled the whole length,
the spring will be too tight. Another
neglected stitch is at the hem end of
a Venetian blind. A real stitch undoes
and soon the slat comes loose. Amy
child in kindergarten should be able to
sew this.

matches? No electric appliances de-
stroyed? If you can answer mo" to
each of these, you can say with truth
that you have been perfect tenant!

That in heaven their angels do al
