object of the housewife, and so evil
IDENTIFY necessary to well-ordered
house, has at last found an enemy in
the modern hygienist, who condemns
all such stowaway places as recepta-
cles of close, foul air. While it would
be impossible to do away with such
household conveniences, there is rea-
son for this complaint.
Where closets are not properly venti-
lated and are hung with damp cloth
ing, or clothing which is damp with
perspiration, they are certainly very
unwholesome adjuncts to sleeping
room, but the trouble is not so much
in their use as in their abuse. When
clothing is taken off the body and is
not at once put in the wash, it should
be hung across chair or in some other
place where it will be open to air, and
if possible to the sun. Not only should
every care be taken to avoid any
sources of dampness and mould in the
clothes closet, but the closet should be
frequently ventilated, so that it will
not have the close, unpleasant odor
that such receptacles so often have
