' This knowledge of the why helps enormously when time is limited. When there is time only for a lick and & promise we know what to lick and what to promise. We know that dishes well washed and then scalded and allowed to dry away from the dust don't absolutely need to be dried.

We know that an un- doorknob may offend our eyes, t it cannot make: our throats sore, We know that dust lylng quictly in the attlc may remain for a While without doing any harm, but that an accumu- lation of molsture or a collection of rub- bish in the cellar may not. In modern houses the sort of ordeal known as Spring housecleaning as It was once understood is entirely un- necessary, but some sort of thorough general housecleaning at the close of Winter is a very useful part of your campaign of cleanliness.

Here's an- other experinment: Get on the scales, weigh yourself, drink a large glass of cording to the amount of water you've had, your weight will be up half to words, by the actual weight of the water you've consumed.

And these women wear themselves out in their endless task of eliminating all vestiges of what they regard as and disorder. And the obvious disadvantage of the second sort of woman is that she is very apt to overlook dirt that doesn’t show.
