CRUSADE AGAINST CLUTTER

A Good Time to Inaugurate 1t II
With the Early Spring Cleaning.
THE elimination Of CLUTTER My very
soul responds to the toast. In some Of
our American homes the inmates seem
to have gone lamp mad,' in others
TIA BILE mad" in others still "vase mad"
while in one and all of those that run
to clutter there is the gamut of brio
a-brac, the inevitable carved or painted
fans, the bits of historic lace. the ex-
quisite this and commonplace that,
with two or three times as many chairs,
sofas and stools as are necessary to
proper furnishing. IL would be imnSs-
sible 90 describe the mischievous so-'
quential effects of this art riot in tho
homes of people of moderate means or
Or those less fortunate than the well 20
do.
Clutter and Che Servant I2sblenR
First, who can estimate how much
the oyerfurnishing of homes has to do
with the prevailing discomfort among
the servant class? A house overloaded
with furnishings and ornamental i'm
pedimenta is far more difficult to keep
clean and requires more time for such
cleaning than a house furnished accord
ing to the ideals Of good taste. Bu& is
such extra work allowed for by the
housekeepeI who overfuEnishes? 1t is
safe to answer rarely, if ever Gener-
al cleaning day is tax upon strength,
nerves and spirits which has its inf1u-
ence upon the work of the rest of the
week. The handling and care of very
valuable articles is matter Of time
and strain not sufficiently considered
in the apportioning of duties.
How Clutter Affects Health.
The other protest against clutter re-
lates to a more serious consideration
health. A prominent physician said re-
Gently in E,y hearing, 1.-The furnishing
of American homes is reflection u
American nervousness, and, conversely.
American nervousness is aggravated
by the furnishings Of American
homes The duilest human being, we
know, is affected to some degree by
environment, and it is easy to conceive
that where there is not reposeful
spot in a room to which one can turn
the eye there must be a constant
though perhaps unconscious strain un-
on one in that room.-Ella Morris
Kretschmar in Good Housekeeping.

Sir: Those friends OF France who have looked

disappointed. Aside from NM. Rouvier Delcasse
and Chaumie the Ministers must be elassed as
mediocrities who would well answer to the term

cruel treatment II suffered from le Nord In the
times OF Simon de Montfort.
The position OF NJ. Delcesse IN the political world
Of France is peculiar one. He has been Minister
OF Foreign Affairs continuously for six years which
is a much longer period Of continuity IN Office than
that enjoyed by any OF his predecessors since the
foundation OF the Third Republic During those
six years there have been several changes CT Min
