HOMEWARD LOADINGS Port Dunedin (Port Line; agents, Williams and Kettle. Limited) has been delayed at. Auckland and did not clear the northern port last night as was hoped. The motor ship should leave Auckland this afternoon and arrive in the Gisborne roadstead at noon to-morrow. Her programme has been altered to allow her to complete loading at Wellington, where she will take in general cargo to have been carried by the Port Bowen. She will leave Wellington early next week for London.
The Jacksons had been picnicking with the Smiths and at lunch Mrs. Jackson referred to a young couple they knew who had recently married. She said she couldn't understand how they possibly could start off with such a beautiful home when they all knew their means were so limited. “And it’s taken us many years to build up our home and it’s nowhere near as nice and up to date as theirs, is it Jack?" she continued. “No, I’m afraid we are a long way behind the Edwards when it comes to a nice home,” replied Mr. Jackson. “We were invited round to see it and really, Harry, their home is every bit. as well and as beautifully furnished as yours. I don't know how they do it." Harry Smith looked at his wife and smiled as he said. “It's quite easy Jack, when /If jiOO mm V, * you know how. As a matter of fact we explained to Edwards and his wife just how wc went about getting our home and they followed the same plan." Jackson: “Following a plan is all right, but what did they use for money? Did you show them how to get over that too?" Smith: “Yes we did —we told them to do as we did. To go along and have a chat with Mr. Humphrey. Nell and I were in the same boat as the Edwards. We wanted a nice home but we didn’t have the money to pay for it. We wouldn’t buy cheap furniture yet we knew wc wouldn’t be satisfied with the few things our small amount of cash would buy. The visit to Humphrey’s solved it. As they showed us their lovely stocks of furniture and furnishings we took a note of what we wanted. Then Mr. Humphrey totted it up, asked us how much we wanted to pay down and what we wanted to pay out of income and it was fixed in no time." Jackson: “And that is what the Edwards did, too?" Smith: “Yes and they have everything they want.” Jackson to his wife: “M*v, we have been asleep. Wc will 1 go to Humphrey’s to-momiW ( and get all that we want.’* J To-morrow couldn’t coins ] soon enough for May. Ndty i she has a home she isn’t, ashamed to invue hti to.
