FURNISHING APARTMENT.
(From M. B. L., WaShingtonD

To Miss K. A. K, who will be
moving into a small apartment:
My experience may help you.
Years ago, moved into an apart
ment. After had paid the rent,
I had $50 left. My furniture con-
sisted of a French powder table
and a smoking stand (though I
don't smoke). I wanted good
furniture, but obviously I could
not afford it at the time, so I
resolved on the following course
of action: I decided just how I
wanted to furnish the apartment
and just what I needed. Rather
than buy cheap, shoddy stuff all
at one time, I bought just one
piece at a time and paid for it in
full before buying anything else.
I admit that the apartment was
pretty bare at first, but friends
came through with floor lamp
and a couple of chairs, etc., all
used but in good condition. AS l
bought new and good pieces I
discarded the old ones, giving
them to other friends who were
starting out on a shoestring. It
took several years to furnish the
apartment, but the furniture was
and still is good. If your apart
ment is to be a more or less tenn
porary home (pending marriage,
for instance, when you would nat
urally have all new furniture), you
might consider buying one really
good piece, such as your studio
couch, and unpainted furniture,
which you could finish in your
favorite colors. You might buy
the basic chests of drawers now,
the nadd bookcases, ETC., one at
a time. If you are ambitious and
handy with tools and have in
finite patience, you might haunt
the auctions for usable pieces to
be refinished. Many clever things
may be done with old washstands,
photograph cabinets, etc.

SMALL DOGS.

am the owner of a Welsh
terrier, though I am sure she Is
convinced that. she owns me. and
I would like to answer your in
quiry in the RICH because after
II years I know the Welsh well.
The breed is small, as you
doubtless know, even when full
grown. The owner of the kennels
who sold me my dog assured me
that the Welsh terrier combined
all the good characteristics of a
real dog, with few of the bad. He
was quite correct as my experience
can testify. I have known the
male Welsh not so thoroughly and
I believe that they are equally
well behaved, If properly trained,
but possessing the natural foibles
of the male with which some
owners do not wish to cope. The
female Of any breed is fonder Of
home and hearth.
My dog is q perfect lady, and
a brave one. She is quiet in
the house, has very little of the
terrier yipping propensities; she
sleeps soundly when indoors and
plays hard and long when she
is out. The breed was used origi-
nally in England as a hunting dog.
and the woods, rabbits, squirrels
and such are really her element.
I have never seen her kill any,
thing. although, I imagine a rat
would have short shrift If she
found one.
fFrona I. M. B., Washington.)
To Mrs. w. r. L.: I want to
put in a good word for the

house pet. No odor, do not shed
