MHUS is a story about mov- ing. But before I start I'd like to make it clear to land. lords, butchers, milkmen, and other people that there is no need to get panic-stricken.

It's all about the last time I moved ♫ 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 Bocks, collars, and handker- chiefs to last him a couple of days, and go and book a room nt an hotel until the riot is

over.

Unfortunately, I have a strong sense of duty. Furthermore, my wife says that there should be a inon in the house tu reprimand the removalists when they smash legs

It is a bit difficult to reprimand

The last time we moved-or it might have been the time before- I had a couple of bottles of whisky in the house in case of sickness, You never know when a bout or something might swoop on you, and even

They were half-way out the door with the piano, but they dropped it imunedlalely, making a not un- pleasant jungling sound.

After they'd finished the secund bottle they became extraordinarily

enthusiastic about the job. They even unscrewed the gas-fittings, 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 odds and ends.

There's half a bottle of tomato sauce here. Not much use packing that. I wonder If Mrs. Jones would like it?”

"Aw, leave it there."

"I certainly will not! Couldn't you drink it? And there's tiree carts. You can put those in your pocket. Now come here and help ine get these curtain rods down. There's screwdriver In tho drawer of the sewing-machine."

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

"WELL, if it's not Auntie Ethel! Come in, Auntie!"

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

Ok, no.

We're just taking the stuff out to dust it. We do it every Wednesday. Won't you sit down? There's a chair outside. In the

"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 cider brother," she said with bitter- neas,

"I know what you're going to say," she went on quickly. "It was very good of him to bring me to the dance, and it's nice to have a brother around to look after me.. but the point is he's been too busy trying to make an im pression on Isobel Jones to.. take the alightest interest in what I've been doing for the past two hours, and wouldn't have brought me in the Brat place if Mother hadn't mado him!

IT was HER turn to misa a beat.

"I've got two-both older than nyself, Sometimes I, used to think that THIS was what made it dimcult for me that may be ONE would have been all right... but, after talking it over with other girls, I found out that there was no differ- ence in having your older brothers singly or in pairs!
