It was a house very hard to find, and even the Flipperty-Man may not have been able to find it, had it not had a fluted lantern hanging over the front door, and a jumbled roof which was very picturesque (but was rather a bother, because it leaked in wet weather), three front steps (which were worn in the middle), aud a clothesline which was the Flipperty-Man's special pride.

Remember to mark it with age, name, penname and address.—KlWl.
