Do not be discouraged about having
to wash dishes 3G5 days in the year.
Dishes must be washed, and, of all the
many duties that falls to woman's lot,
this seems to be the most disliked. But
there Is an ideal way.
The chief things required to make it
a pleasure are care, order, plenty of
good, hot water, and stack of dry
tea towels, two dshcloths, and n large
enameled bowl. The dishes, when re-
moved from the table, must have each
of its kind put together. Put all the
cooking utensils on the range and fill
them with water until the, time comes
to clean them.
Have receptacle in which to place
all the scraps that come from the
dishes. plates, etc. The most important
thing is to have plenty of hot water;
not merely warm, but hot, and use
some good soap in the water to make
your suds. 1t cleans the greasy meat
dishes and plates twice as quickly.
Have your mops with handles for deep
mouthed jugs, and have nice dlshcloths
made Of cheese cloth.
Begin with the glassware, and next
china, and follow with spoons, forks,
lDivcs, etc. Never use a wet towel
