This same ten dency has been noted In London, where It Is no longTr considered necessary to the maintenance of one's position that a house which Is to be occupied for only n few months should bo kept through out the entire year.

The con venience of the furnished bouse may be a very great one to the tenant, but It Is n highly profitable form of enter prise to the landlord, who. In addition to the advance lu price paid for the use of furniture, are In the habit of receiv ing for n few months the same price that would be paid for a whole year.
