It js a faut that the | | average family resents changes In| {the home-- even though those! | changes spell progress. Uncle John | | gets used to hanging his umbrella ! on a peg in the hall and he resents | the 'ousekeeper has saved so long | to buy. Aunt Magy becomes accus- tomed to tying up her table napkin with a bit of ribbon after every mem and she dislikes the new napkin | er. Brother Will spoons (much preferring to take a pinch of salt fn his fingers, as of yore!) and Sister Helen positively refuses to use the new unholstered taken the place of the old sag-seated arm-chair. { But perhaps the greatest opposi- tion of all is shown by the family when the housekeeper makes changes in the meals. What a clat- ter is heard when white bread dis- timetables to his wife, and the head- lines in the evening paper, and the way to ipdorse a check, and the dis- crepancy in the weekly accounts-- it doesn't soothe him one bit to re- call that he married her because she wag just @ nice girl and not ome of those highbrows.

My husband says our home will be a horror if I make all the changes I've talked of." Right there is the secret of fam. ily-opposition: "AN the changes I've talked of." If yofi talk too much about a thing, people think you're a crahk. But If you just keep dr ideas to yourself and suddenly acr; without talking, then you can intro- duce little home-changes almost be- fore your family realizes what 1a happening. Don't give them time to make these changes for the general good of the home, and it our families will not bg sympathetic with our ideals, then we must resort to the surprise method of introducing improve- ments. { All Inquiries adaressed to Mijas fTousek%eping' department will be newered {n these columns in their 'rn.
