Big Dinky-Dunk, who has been smoking his pipe, is sitting on one side of the table, and I am sitting on the other. Between us lies the bundle of house-plans which have just been mailed up to us from Philadelphia. This is the second night we've pored over them. And we've decided what we're to do at Casa Grande.
Lane and her two children will do their own work, and therefore steps and stairs must be few, and yet they wish light and air and cleanliness. The author hopes that her readers will make a study of house-plans, not the cheap ones, but those that will bear the test of time and living in. The increased cost of shelter should mean both more comfort and greater beauty.
Really, Aunt Hannah, between her home-hunting in the morning, and her furniture-and-rug hunting in the afternoon, and her poring over house-plans in the evening, I can't get her to attend to her clothes at all.
