He had heard 1 J it all so often. j J "All very well, my dear, but it f = lias taken us four years to save | 1 up enough money to put down on f a house for ourselves—and what's I the use of a house without furi niture?" J Mrs. J. snorted angrily. (It I j had taken her four years to learn f I how to do it.) .. | I "If you will only make up your f 1 mind to get that house, I can i | secure the furniture.
