attempt that came so close to victory, she is ready for another

To those who doubted we would

make it, to those who sympathized

finally settled.

And so two months later he spent

In case all this sounds like double-
talk, I’m refer-
ring to the stu-
pendous, fantas-
tie and amazing
fact that we are
actually going to
build our house
this year.

Isn’t it won-
derful? The only J |
trouble is that Mo sce
I’m not sure I’m going to like it.

In the struggle with an open
stairwell, a fireplace with the back
showing, a limited budget, and a
stubborn editor, I lost.

Somewhere along the line in the
last two years, I lost my utility room.
My loudest demand then was that I
would not have to wash in the base-
ment. “It’s silly”, I-asserted. “You
are up and down stairs to the phone,
with the kids, for a thousand things”.

Unless we can afford an automat-
ie washer and dryer that will fit
{into a five-foot space in the kitchen,
I will be washing in the basement.
In other words, I will be washing in

~ the basement.

I wanted'a big kitchen, big enough
to eat in, big enough for the kids to
play in and still not be in my way. At
the moment I’m sfill desperately try-
ing to find space for a couple of
stools in the small kitchen I have
‘ended up with.

I didn’t want a dining-area partic-
ularly. With my big kitchen, I
thought we could entertain more
formally at one end of the big living
room. Somehow I seem to have a din-
ing-area, although I didn’t get short-
changed on the living-room, I must
ndmit.

This dining-area is bounded
one side by the open stairwell which
has a planting-area. They’re heauti-
ful things in the magazines, aren’t
they? Lovely big plants busting out
all over with healthy vigorous shoots
of green.

I wonder what artificial fern would
look like? I am NOT noted for my
green thumb. I have been nursing a
little philodendron. along for two
years now, and the leaves are get-
ting smaller and smaller every time
it condescends to surprise us witb
‘another appendage.

The living-room must be on the
ack facing the view, and away from
the street, said Clive. Sounded like
@ good idea. Then the designer threw
in a big floor-length, roof-high win-
dow on the end-wall too. “Lovely,
flovely,” exulted the editor. The fact
that this window overlooks the side-
street seems to matter not at all.
(Just watch for me to wiggle my
fins as you go by.)

“I wonder where we will put the
desk?”, I breathed softly one night.

“We're not going to change the
plans just because you don’t know
where to put the desk”, thundered
the man-of-the-house. “We'll find a
spot somewhere”, The plang were

four hours one evening trying to
figure out where we could put the
lesk.

Our trouble seems to be that we
have no walls . . . just windows and
stairwells and fireplaces.

Oh, well there is one thing that 1
have insisted on, that no amount of
persuading would make me give up.
And that was my corner window
above the kitchen sink. They may be
old-fashioned, as the designer intim-
ated, but I’ve got one anyhow.

Of course we’ve got a couple of
bedrooms, and a tiny bathroom
(What do you want a BIG bath-
room for?”, he asked) and a full-
sized basement as well. Somehow or
other, they have turned out to be
quite conventional . .. we must have
slipped there.

If this house should turn out to be
very smart and very practical, I will
will of course preen myself and take
at least half the credit. Right now
I'm inclined to eall it “Stangoe’s Fol-
ly” and blame eyerything on the
editor.

tea she unfolded her tale of a sick |
husband, no money to buy food—
and of course the bargain in linen.
And bargain it seemed, for to quote
the saleswoman “you couldn’t uy
this cloth in an Irish linen shop for
$100, and I'm giving it to you for a
mere $35”.

Prices fluctuated as much as 40
percent as our saleswomen made
their house-to-house canvass. If the
customer showed no sales resistence,
up went the price, and if there were
hard to convince the price tag was
lowered wth a story of being willing
to make the sale at any sacrifice.

Several days later when the

ing notes, the horrible truth dawned
‘on them — they had been taken. A

that their purchases could be bought
in any store for a third of what they
had paid. As‘one of the customers
put it: “you know she didn’t tell a
