A. Cildwell ATTICS The fir-.t day ot Spring used to be the time to think about cleaning out the attic. But one of the things modern architects seem to have d i s p e n s e d with in many new homes i s the attic. I t doesn't accomplish any useful tunc lion, and it 1 wastes space. Most of us grew up in homes which had an attic. It had to be cleaned out every Spring . . . a proccs which tock a lot long er than it should have. Remem ber vvhy? There were a lt of places to pause in an attic. L'le the agmg mind, it was full of memories. Here in the attic you would run arrc s that dance program with the half-foig';tten names ... or the carefully packed away tuxedo or party dress. Here you would fmd the box of old snapshots never put into an album ... or the d ary you u',ed to keep, with its dreams, its wild enthusiasms, its con fidences. And here, tied with a D ck'-t of string or ribbon, a bundle of letters, written by that stranger of long ago . . . you. Where are such memories stored, in a House without an attic?
