There should be a law against Moving

THIS is a story about mov- Ting. But before I start I'd

like to make it clear to land- lords, butchers, milkmer, and other people that there is no need to get panic-stricken.

It's all about the last time I moved-a very moving story.

Of course, any sensible man will have nothing whatever to do with moving. He will just- pack a small bag with enough socks, collars, and handker- chiefs to last him a couple of days, and go and book a room at an hotel until the riot is

over.

Unfortunately, I have a strong sense of duty. Furthermore, my wife snys that there should be n man in the house to reprimand the removalists when they smash legs off chairs and things like that

It is a bit difficult to reprimand a man who is used to walking up n flight of stairs with a sideboard under one arm and a plano under the other, Kindness is the thing.

The last time we moved-or it might have been the time before- I had a couple of boitles of whisky. In the houso in case of sickness. You never know when a bout or something might swoop on You, and even K you haven't και typbold, mataria or menales it's good to have something to ward off typhold, malaria and measles in case typhoid, malaria or measles break out.

Well, there were three of these chaps and I said, "It's a hot day. Would you boys care for a whisky and soda?"

They were half-way out the door with the plano, but they dropped it immediately, making a not un- pleasant angling sound.

After they'd finished the second battle they became extraordinarily

enthusiastic about the job. They even unscrewed the gas-fitings and electric light switches. They also wanted to know if I wanted to take the wallpaper with me...

Mark you, it's not the furniture itself that matters. It's the odde and ends.

"Aw, leave it there."

Couldn't

"I certainly will not! you drink itz And there's three eggs, You can put those in your pocket. Now come here and help me get these curtain rods down. There's a screwdriver in the drawer of the sewing-machine."

"Sewing-machine's gone."

"Well, get a knife or something. Of all the useless-Anyway, see who's at the door."

"Do it yourself. And I hope it's the police."

"WELL, If it's not Auntie Elhel! Come in, Auntie!"

"You're moving, are you?" says Auntie Ethel, failing over a roll of linoleum.

Oh, no. We're just taking the We do it every atuff out to dust it. Wednesday. Won't you sit down? There's a chair outside in the street."

"Did you find the place too smali for you, my dear?" asks Auntle mveetly.

"No. It's not exactly that. Of course, we do a lot of entertain- ing ("Bunk!") and, another thing. 1 thought it would be better it Lemie was living closer to his

office. Such a saving in fares, you know."

"Oh, of course. Marvellous how it mounts up, isn't it?"

"I don' wanna live closer to the office! I wanna live hundreds of miles away from it!"

"I must buy a keg of it. Lennie, have you finished now?"

"You said a mouthful! Where's my hat?"

"But you can't go out--" "Can't I Watch me."

And when, after an hour or so 'you've got yourself soothed, you're confronted with the stark, grim realisation that you're homeless and hite yourself unto the booking elerk in the hotel and book a room,

"Well-hsan't he brought you to this dance, and isn't he looking after you like a per- fect gentleman, and...?"

"Perfect gentleman,' no- thing!"

The vehemence in her voice was startling-so much so that I missed the next beat of the alow fox-trot, and had to do two quick shuffles to get into step again.

"Sorry!" I mumbled: "What for?"..

"I almost trod on your toe." "If you're going to hand me any sympathy, save it for the fact that I've got an elder brother," she said with bitter
