COMMON-SENSE CLEANING

s Oh.aoso fine days. Sunshine, streaming in through open windows/ has a tonic, effect on, workers.

Turn the room you are cleaning 'out-of-doors,' if possible, as well as upside down. Use your lawn, if you have One, for carpet beating and furniture polishing. Keep one room cosy and tidy, 'With, a good fire going. You may be glad of 10 minutes' rest there during the day. Don't go;'short of food, and keep to your regular meal hours. Have something hot simmering on the stove. Cold meat eaten among a medley of disarranged furniture is too depressing to do you any good. • Con't hurry your meals. Get the day's allotment of work over before your husband comes home. Don't ask him to hang up the pictures directly he appears.. : > Don't attempt tasks that are beyond your strength) and doh''t go'Ou working when you feel worn out. Leave the evenings free. If you feel like it, a visit to the kinema or a thoa.tre will refresh you. If you are too tired to go out, change, into a nice frock and begin an. exciting novel.

'Get that "ruthless" mood—in moderation. Throw out' 1 or give away everything that you feel is non-essen-tial. Don't let sentiment v turn you imto a hoardei- of rubbish.

Don't forget that your home is suffering from "that tired feeling," the: result of the dark months of winter. Let it sihow a clean lifted face to the world.

Get as much pleasure and satisfaction out of it .as you can.
