FOREWORD
LL of us lead different lives. Some of us live in the country, perhaps far from neighbours; others settle in a new suburb where it may be difficult to make friends. Yet again there are people who are surrounded by friends and acąuaintances all the time.
However, there is one thing we have in common. We can all welcome a new friend. Let this book be that friend in your home. There are times when we need advice, and we feel that to discuss a subject exhaustively would be to impose on any of the people we know. What career is the child best fitted for? Browse over the information given in this book. Should petunia curtains be put with a lime-green carpet? Read what Bet ter Home Making has to say about colour.
