Those are the figures produced by a recent survey. And they just substantiate what every woman knows: that it is the woman in the family who has the vision when it comes to seeing how a home can be improved.

Whether a woman has lived in a house two months or 30 years it never satisfies her just as It is. She is ahvays visualizing improvements to make it more attractive, more convenient, more livable, more up-to-the-minute A man says. "What's the matter with this house? It looks all right to me" when his wife starts talking about all the things she wants to do to it, And left alone, he would probably be willing to live in it without any change for another 10 years. DREAMING. PLANNING, SCHEMING BUT that doesn't stop a woman.

She goes right on dreaming, and planning and scheming. And if there isn't enough money to hire a painter or call in a carpenter or get a bricklayer lo put in a patio, a woman can usually convince a man he's smart enough to do the job himself. And that 's the real story behind the do-it-yourself craze that has swept the na rural yen to keep Improving their homes, plus their practical knack for figuring out now they can achieve their dreams, plus their ability to sell men on their ideas When Joe says, "Come on out in the yard and let me show you the barbecue pit I built," you can bet your bottom dollar it all start ed when Mama got hold of a good recipe for barbecue sauce and started planning a backyard barbecue. She probably had her guest list made out before Joe had any idea he was about to become a do-it- yourselfer. (All rights reserved, NEA Service, Inc.)
