Margaret Byron, Peggy Harrigan. and Barbara Thomson, the four students who make up the group, tinder the direction of Sister Mary St. Remi. B.V.M., took an actual mismanaged Chicago family of four, whose income was 2400 per year, and showed them how to live comfortably and well on their income. First they selected a 3600 model F.H.A. home which was to be paid for on a monthly basis. It is a new six- room house, with three bedrooms. After a systematic canvass of the city's furniture stores, the study group made the house plan and selected fur niture for all the rooms, complete down to the color scheme. The furniture is all of the Swedish modern type and the total cost was 1800. Other budgeted items were food 600; clothing 360; yearly payments on the house 480; savings 240; advancement 240; and operating expenses 480. Thus the study group showed that by intelligent management an American family can say Goodbye to Financial Worries.
