since we never saw so many things mixedup in our drawers and cupboards before probably its because we save everything these days hoping at ome future time it will be useful sorting things out and puttin fresh paper in the drawers and on the shelves is a job that can take up a lot of time so make a tenta tive schedule or the decorator will be at your door before you are ready for him if you are doing your own paint ing be sure and discuss the project with someone of experience and here are general hints for amateurs 1 dont forget to read the label on the paint can or to follow instru- tions to the word 2 dont work outside in wet weather immediately after a storm or too early in the spring before wood has dried out 3 dont paint in very cold weather as low temperature thickens paint and causes cracking 4 dont try to cover the surface all at once with one heavy coat several thin coats are better 5 dont paint over the basic coats until thoroughly dry- 6 dont neglect proper prepara tion of surfaces 7 dont use anything but good brushes and reliable thinners using poor paint for economy if you belong to the group which dislikes cleaning orgies you will find that the weekly care of specific rooms will not upset your routine too drastically and you can take the strictly seasonal jobs like paint ing as they come if you belong to the other group there are two ways to attack the big job you have set yourself take one room at a time and clean it and everything in it or do similar jobs at the same time cleaning walls and ceilings in two or three rooms in one session take a tip 1 the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner depends upon the condition of the dirt container empty it every 2 or 3 days in many models the end of the bag opposite the one attached to the machine can be opened a dampened paper bag can be fitted over it and when the machine is turned on the dust swirls into the paper bag 2 do not push vacuum cleaner over pins and sharp articles which may pierce the dirt container 3 turn vacuum cleaner off when anything has to be moved out of the cleaning area 4 be a leisurely operator of a vacuum cleaner a quick fght over does not allow the cleaner to pick up the dirt 5 adjust the cleaner on rugs according to the regulations of the machine in the tank cleaner the pressure you exert makes the adjustment between high and low- pile rugs on the motordriven machine the brush should only touch the surface of the rug run a thin ruler under the machine to check on the nearness of the brush to carpet porch cushions mrs m t says crayon marks from important

darkhaired mrs barbara wood- house who lives in the south of england has hit on a grand idea for coaxing pooryielding cows into 1000gallon a year milkers she dresses them according to the weather thirtyeightyearold mrs woodhouse used to teach dancing but since the war shes run a 12- acre smallholding and made quite a contribution to britains fresh milk supplies about two years ago she came to the conclusion that varving temperatures caused cows to give more or less milk so she decided to dress them to suit the weather if its wet they wear raincoats in fine weather they have jute and woollined rugs and in summer they wear cotton the herdsman decides each morning what clothes theyll put on they keep their coats on indoors so it doesnt matter if the cowsheds chilly seems they soon get used to wear ing overcoats mrs woodhouses method is quite ordinary in hol land denmark and new zealand but so far unusual in britain mrs woodhouse finds this idea a success theres queenie for instance mrs woodhouse bought her a year ago for less than 1g0 when she was only giving 40 gal lons of milk a year queenies now a record milker with a yield of 150 gallons a month and her mistress has already refused an offer of 1000 for her barbara woodhouse bought all her cows when their milk yield was poor now theyre doing wonders and the three to four hundred cows which have passed through her hands are now giving thousands of gallons of milk to farmers in the south of england footnote to the overcoat story barbaras cows act as a baromo- meter to the rest of her household if shes doubtful how to dress the children she just looks to see what the cows are wearing mon tucs wed april 12 13 14th betty grable dan dailey in mother wore tights a picture as big as the heart of showbusiness
