LOUISA'S LETTER ?==S

Dear Louisa, We have been renting a home for ten years but we have saved up enough money to buy our own place at last. Now the problem is this: we have four children and it has always been my desire to have a place big enough for everyone to have some privacy. We have been looking at different houses for sale and we are torn between two which are very different from each other. The first one is a beautiful, old house with lots of space but it will need a great deal of work to get it in livable condition. It is in a good location but I know the heating bill would be expensive. The other is a new house with conveniences but the children would have to share bedrooms

and it is rather small for any entertaining. What do you think we should do? They are both the same price. Worried —N.J. Answer: The answer depends on many things. People who are creative and can fix up old houses seem to enjoy it immensely ami if they enjoy entertaining and have the money to do so, a large house is a source of great pleasure. But if children are small, finances limited and help hard to find, it will probably pay you to buy the smaller, more convenient house. Louisa .Address letters: Louisa. Box 532, Orangeburg.
