Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 08, 1949, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page 8 Winnipeg free press monday augusts 1949 love seat in the May loft cosy hideous Bright austere furniture varies with Parish a minister s wife runs into a new set of housekeeping prob lems every time her husband mores to a different Par i. Here in the third of six extracts being published b the free press from her recent Book. For goodness Sake the Winnipeg author n a n c y Jones tells of some of the manses and some of the manse furniture in her experience. By Nancy Jones we All our lives in furnished parsonage both House and different furniture kept in repair by the Parish. This has Lent infinite variety to living. When we accept a new. Pastorate we accept no t Only different scenes and different Folk with whom to work but also a different House and different. Furniture. Sometimes the furniture has been very Nice and frequently it has been very much less than that. In our first Parish we followed the love family. They in turn had followed the Darlings really should have proved an Omen or something. There had been a considerable number of Little loves and even More of the Little Darlings. The patient women of the ladies Aid explained with the utmost kindliness that l Oves had been pretty stirring and Pray what else would o n e expect of Little Well they had stirred our. Pleasant parsonage with a right Good will. Some of. The less robust of the furn Ilttre had gone Down under the Strain. Orange and Crimson one of these unfortunate pieces had been banished to our front porch. It was an ancient settee Plush upholstered in a combination of Orange and Crimson. It had be longed at one time to a Plush Par Jor a style once considered very elegant for the More Dressy of country Parlours but Beronil doubt the least comfortable of All seats yet devised by Man. This one had reached the stage when some of its More intimate portions sagged beneath it almost to the floor. The front Verandah of our was a very pleas ant spot in summer Low and unpretentious with perennials Bloom ing across the front . Our Orange and Crimson settee sat on it like an lace Bolero on. A Slack suit. We talked Over a 11 the angles of the settee and came to the conclusion that the article would never be missed and no feelings be Hurt if it was. Put quietly away from mortal sight. So one night in the dark of the Moon we removed the offending member from its place of Hon or and carried it stealthily to the stable. My husband climbed to the Hayloft and from its he Low checked or Money for Quick it itching caused by eczema Scabis pimples and other itching conditions Iise pure Cooling medicated liquid . O. Rackmil Ptim. Geaw less and soothes and quietly Cairns intent itching. Bon t suffer. Ask your druggist p today for o. D. O. Prescription. S ered a rope which i tied to the leg of the eve sore he had hoisted half Way to its last resting place when of a sudden he burst nto shouts of fire and fury and shot like a meteor from the loft having the love seat dangling a Colony of hornets had set up House beeping in the Hay loft and were bitterly opposed to having a plus settee added to their furnishings. Hanging settee we got out Lange of the Hor nets and talked the settee Over from yet another in whispers this time for it was one of those villages where even the Walls have not Only amplifiers. Nothing More could be the matter until we could procure Mosquito netting Village store and make ourselves Bee veils and this All must wait until the store opened for Busi Ness in the morning. The rope had become entangled in the loft door so we had no Choice but to let the ill fated love seat swing forlornly Between heaven and Earth until the Dawn of Day. This would not have mattered either had not the entire country Side chosen that particular morn ing to drive into the Village for provisions at the break of Day. There before their outraged gaze dangled the settee in All its red and Orange splendor. As each Bug passed slowly by our House the Ace of each occupant turned like the Sun Flower to the Sun Gaz ing at this desecration. The strange part of this Story is that when morning came and with it. The Bee veils we found All the other pieces o f the elegant Plush parlor suit buried also in the Hay of the fancy the deceit of some people ask ask ask another of our parsonage had Ery very Good elderly furniture not sufficiently aged to be antique but just enough to be Cumber some and unwieldy. The Heads of All the Beds towered Over our Heads As did also the dressers sideboard and Hall rack. Everything that would Tower i o w e re d. Even the Corners of the door and win Dow frames Here a heavenward fluting like a rooster s comb but which someone told us later was intended to represent. A r o y Al dragons and roses our. Parlor in that House had he distinction of pattern known to the decorator s Art the wallpaper a d grasses sea Weed and specimens of under sea life. The Rug flaunted Pink roses. Occasional chairs we cloaked in autumn foliage. Purple dragons writhed on the Couch. The curtains boasted Birds of Paradise. The doors reared their Royal crowns then the transom above the Large front window bore a Pat Tern All its half pie in. Four slices one. Blue one Orange one red and one Green and just what color of drapes am cushions to so with this assorted collection a you guessed it roman up rooted.

I Felt no affection for this Brash new edifice. It was a High austere building with High austere win Dows and High austere verandahs front and rear which not even a Plush settee could Render less at Active. I could never love this Louse i knew. X yet i had such Happy years in this particular Home had such fun there with my Small boys and made such and lasting friendships 1hat when the time came to leave it i Felt i would never again let myself love another Home so much for the Heartbreak of neither patterns nor furniture nor architectural style seems to matter much a House beloved but the warm hearts that pro vide it All for you and the dear congenial friends who come to Call and sit talking in the Lee of the Cloud capped furniture however unattractive one s manse furnishings be it is just As Well to leave them As they Are. It is Best not to try to Cut Down the Heads of the Beds or the monumental sideboards. The Odds Are against one s making them look really modish besides which one May Hurt the feelings of some older person who bought these massive articles Many years earlier and who has ones just like them in her own Home which she still considers very handsome. Be sides one May succeed in spoiling a really Good antique. In one of our Homos All the furniture was bought new for us. This raises yet another set of prob lems. When the time to leave every scratch on the new furniture is a Jones scratch. No Little loves Ori whom to Shelve the damages. In this particular pastorate the Church building was very much too Small to accommodate the numerous and varied activities of the flourishing congregation so the excess logically Over flowed into our Lovely Large manse. One year a men s club of forty men met every wednesday evening in our living room Canadian girls in training groups and the Young people s society held their weekly meetings in our House con stantly. Besides these there were parties and social gatherings beyond counting. Yet when we six years of this merry go round existence it gave the congregation consider Able pain to see How hard the Joneses and their boys and dogs had been on the new furniture.
