BIG CONSIDERATION
"To Let" Ad. Stimulates Imagination of Famous Writer
And She Visualizes the Coming and "Stay
• ing” of Aunt Sue If House Is Large
ft
By WINIFRED BLACK
“To let or lease—one five-room furnished house, bath, patio, swim
ming pool, sleeping porch, large garden—valley view.”
How interesting they are the “to-lets and to leases ’—now there’s the
one in the next column:
■ uenueman s country resiaence. live rooms,
four baths, living room, breakfast room, dining room,
three servant's rooms, garage for four cars—ocean!
view, full furnished—references required.”
Which do you choose?
Four baths, five master rooms! How nice and
roomy but what shape are the rooms?
Are they big and spacious and leisurely looking?
How about the porches?—what's a Summer House
without a porch or a patio or something?
And just exactly what does the ocean view mean?
—is it a peek and a promise or a good broad
sweeping expanse of vivid blue and laughing white?
Five master bedrooms—no. I don't want it—too
much room for guests and not enough room to get
away from them
If Aunt Sue ever heard about that house and
me in it, she'd be there with her twin poodles and
her astrology books before I had the fresh curtains

Water softened with Melo is a

Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a young girl of 17 and have
i several boys friends but I do not
care for them except for the good
times they show me. However. I
have a boy friend whom I care for
more than I do for the others. I
have lost his attention and wish to
regain it.
Will you please advise me how to
do so? BABE
Babe: It Is very evident, my dear.
; that you are treating the boy you
really like in much the same man
ner as the others, whom you do not
care for at all. Probably he real
ized this and acted accordingly.
Why go out at all with boys who
do not interest you except insofar
as they invite you to “go places and
do things.” As you grow older you
will realize The thing that counts
is not the place, but the person.
Give up these boys who do not mat
ter. devote yourself to the young
man whose real friendship you seek
and you will be much happier. This
does not mean, how-ever. that you
must not go out with others— you
are far too young to take love se
riously.
