All Over the House.

The best thing that could happen
TO the average house is to get rid Of
about half the stuff it contains. The
habit Of homekeepers should be to
guard against household conges-
ton. At the season of the year
when house cleaning is about to be
done it would be advisable for ev
cry woman to go over the house
from top to bottom in order to get
rid Of all this nuisance.

Plenty Of space is indispensable to
insure the linen cupboard being kept
in proper order. and wide shelves, il
possible, which can be pulled ont,
are convenient and conducive to
tidiness. The most suitable cover
ing for the shelves is white cartridge
paper. which is stiff enough not TO
crease or get out of place. The
linen should then be arranged in as
methodical a manner as space will
permit The sheets should be plac
ed together in pairs and tied up in
piles, according TO the kind. On
separate shelf the pillowcases
should be arranged in similar man
ner. The towels should also have a
shelf devoted TO them and should
be divided into sets; likewise the ta-
BILE linen on another shelf. Two
shelves should be set apart for mis-
cellaneous things and one used for
sidcboard cloths, tray cloths, dol
lies, etc, and the other for all house
hold cloths. IL these have typed
borders, with their respective names
woven thereon. il will not be neces-
sary to use descriptive ribbons, but
they should be tied into bundles
with ribbon or tape, SO that the va
rious sets may not be disarranged.
The linen cupboard should he well
supplied with bags of dried laven-
der, which, besides making it de-
lciously fragrant, will act as n pre-
ventive against the ravages of moths.
