The Bright Side Of Soap.

Soap has its attractive side, which is
always Its clean side. a dry piece Of
soap or dirty soapdish is repulsive.
and one naturally slrinlks from ablu-
tions which are TO be performed with
such aids. A certain hab t Of observa-
tion (Which is one Of my failings) has
mo that tho soap question,
unlike us marriage q fAilure?o is one
which has not forced itself to any ex-
tent upon the minds Of the people. It
may seem like carrying estllet cism u
little too far, to wish to reform the
soap-dish at t.o ~kitcllen-sink, but this
Is just where it Is most Important t.,
begin. Have two tin or granite hang
ing sOap-dishes, with holes in the
bottom to let of the water, so that
your soap Is not always Of the con ist-
ency Of jellyfsh. In One or these keep
laundry soap for scrubbing, and like
purposes; in tho oti1r a piece OF Gas
tile soap. Induce each member to
always rinse Off the soap before laying
1T down. For dishwashing, there
comes n little tin box with holes in 1t
and u long handle. 1t is much nearer
and more economical to keep II bit ot
soap III this, and shake it about in the
dishwater, than to Use IL large piece,
which the servant will let liz in the
water whilo washing her dishes, with
the general result Of flavoring your
soup or meat with yellow soap, q bit OF
which has been carelessly left on the
spoon Or the tine Of "a fork. Recepta.
cles for soap In sleeping apartments
should be cleansed as regularly as the
beds are made. 1t is better to attend
to this oneself than TO la ,ya IL, RI tlr
