Come and Visit Marie Wilson (Continued from page 41) and one brother have left home, the little house across the drive is quite big enough for Marie's mother, Mrs. Frank White, and young Frankie, aged twenty-one. When Marie and her mother first saw the houses they were delighted. The most they had hoped was to find two houses for sale on the same street, but two houses together — that was real luck! It wasn't until the owner had opened the door of one that their hearts sank with disappointment. The living-room was a dark, dull *^rown and seemed so small they felt stifled in it. The bedroom was the same horrible color, and there weren't enough clothes closets. But they just couldn't give up so easily. The houses looked so cute from the outside. There must be some way of doing them over. A couple of visits later, they had it all figured out. "We could paint the walls light blue, and the ceiling, too. We could have a darker blue carpet running wall-towall through into the bedroom," Marie said thoughtfully, standing in the middle of the living room of the house where she and Allan were to live.

They measured the walls in the small hall that led into the bedroom and figured on making ceiling-high clothes closets, with mirrored doors, on one side. Their eyes began to shine as they planned, and before she knew it, Marie was filling out forms and buying the houses right then and there. "I got them for a song," she tells you, "but I must admit it cost every penny of $24,000 to remodel them both." Marie and Allan installed a heating system. They tiled the bathrooms and kitchens of both houses. They laid flagstones in the backyard to form a patio for their garden furniture. Today, the little Disney-character houses are the most attractive on the block. If you were to drop in for a cup of tea on an afternoon when Marie is not working, you'd be enchanted with the clever way she's coped with the problem of living on a miniature scale. Hobbs would be sure to welcome you first. He's a Yorkshire terrier — an animated bundle of silken fur with his bangs tied foppishly back in a bow. Like everything else in the house, Hobbs is built to scale. He weighs all of four pounds, and is just the size to fit in with the delicate what-nots and hand-painted coffee cups Marie's so fond of. Looking about, you realize that the only thing not built to scale is the six d&U TT&-W dub » A (ym oiexmti i/Wfr Q& 9 Woodbury GGEZO CUANSIS SMOOTHS > NNATCN « If surface cleansing helps a little — imagine what a radiant difference deep cleansing will make!
