Do you think If we paint the other
rooms, the dinette would look out

Answer: The rooms might look
more harmonious If the walls wer.
all finished in the same way. How.
ever, you should suit yourselves. But

things done in the face Of diff
culties.
1t was a perfect setup. Mr..
and Mrs. Lee had lived in
downtown apartment building
ever since they had been mar
ried in 1910. Now they had
bought q home after having in
spected hundreds during the
last several years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee, Of course,
carefully planned the moving
day schedule. Mr.. Lee even
drew up q floor plan Of where
the furniture was to be placed
in the new home after having
taken room measurements in
advance.
Wanted Smooth Job.
Since both had professions,
they wanted the job, to run
smoothly so there would be a
minimum of interference with
their work.
How did the plans turn out?
We'll, I never worked harder
in my life," says Mrs. Lee. I'm
convinced it's impossible to
move without confusion"
Actually, of course, the
methodical plans made by the
Lees did tighten the work. Mr..
Lee, for example, served as the
traffic manager" at the new
house.
When the movers brought in
the sofa, for instance, he said
"There!" and pointed to the
exact spot he wanted 1t placed.
That saved time and trouble
later, and it speeded up the
job.
But must admit you just
can't plan on paper where
everything should CO." says Mrs.
Lee.
You can visualize it in adj
vance, but some things you just
have to change around"
Books Still in Boxes.
Eight days after the moving
day, Mrs. Lee still hadn't de-
cided whether to put certain
sofa upstairs or downstairs.
"And lots Of books are still in
packing boxes" she says. And
there are still plenty Of blank
wall spaces" y
But as a result Of advance
planning, the Lees were obliged
to eat only one meal at a res

taurant. And before the movers
had left, Vinton, Jr., 10 months

had been tucked away to sleep.

chance to wash the windows.

some OF the furniture and rugs
we need" Mrs. Lee says.
when you live all on one floor
In an apartment, everything Is
fairly close at hand. In a new
house, you're always discovering
you have put things downstairs
that you need upstairs, and up
stairs that you need downstairs.
Problem Of Furniture.
The Lees new home ut 1882
Chestnut street NV. has three
bedrooms, living room, dining
room, study, kitchen and
screened porch. Their apartment
had only two bedrooms. Thus
they had the problem of buying
q great deal Of new furniture and
furnishings.
"And that is an ordeal Just as
bad as the actual job OF moving,
Mrs. Lee said. It'll probably
take us months before we're all
through.
AS for suggestions. Mrs. Lee
said the volunteering of one
person to direct movers where
to put pieces of furniture is "a
big help"
TT minimizes the number Of
times you have to move things
around later" she said.
Mrs. Lee stayed at the apart
ment building after the movers
left and cleaned up"
Things People Forget.
Things people often forget
when they move, she said, are to

address, arrange for gas and
light to- be disconnected at the,

of service at the new home,
notify the milkman and laundry

II would say that, no matter
how careful a person is there are
one or two things that are always
overlooked" she said. "But If no

have been our own fault. We

thought. For we're still not en-
