SUPERFLUOUS WORK.
How Some Women Waste Their
strength and Make Everybody
In the House UncomfOrtabIc.

There are some people with such u
strong instinct for cleanliness that
they will use up all the time and
strength they have in all varieties OF
supertiuous duties. There are certain
articles which are just as valuable and
just as useful after they have become
oxidized by exposure as they were be.
fore. No one expects to have the brass
| ornaments on trunks or on many other
such utilitarian articles secured and
kept as bright as they were in the shop
in which they were purchased. There
are women who scour the "brasses'
on trunks and on all variety of objects,
and such women arc certainly wasting
time. \ woman whose house is so clean
that it seems in the perfection of order
and neatness, If she finds time TO look
for things out of order, will often dc
some such senselcss thing as scou;
brasses on trunks. There are many
other ways of occupying time with
equally superfluous work. Trimming
on the plain, everyday underwear of
little children is equally superhuous.
1t requires an exceptional amount of
common sense to know when work is
superfuous and when it is strictly nee
essary. Any mother of children and
head of household has enough neces-
sary work to do, so that she cannot at
tempt to do superhuous work without
neglecting some duty that is neces-
sity, even If it is only the duty of rest
