THE CARAVAN "SIEGLINDA" 47On the roof above the shelf is a hat-rack ofcords.The clock isstrapped to the wall above the washstand.There is a tight little corner beside the windowfor fishing-rods and The Umbrella.Pipes go on the top of the bookcase ;therolling-pin and board on the top of the linenchest;the writing-board on the wall above theshelf ;and all wandering odds and ends are flunginto the railway rack.There are elegant curtains.At night a perpetual draughtis secured bychaining back the door and opening the windowsof the middleroom as well as that of the bedroom.But that programme may be modified by thedirection of the rain.A carpet cannot possibly be kept going in acaravan, where all the muddy traffic is confinedto a few square feet. The floor of SIEGLINDA iscovered with cork matting, and she carries acharming little woolly rug, which makes its soleappearance at dinner parties.
