Housekeeping
 SirnpIified.

> NSTEM makes ur housekeeping easier. A nd irregular methods in the house <&eork are as sastrous as in business. Housekeeping Is made up of emergencies. and the good housekeeper Is one who keeps her house Gud plans in state of preparation for them. There Is differ ence, foo. in being systematic about the work and travelling in a rut. The hrst makes for pleasure and the second for uuplcasauiness.
 The rising hour, punctually observed. Is inc beg uning or n good system. If the time ihe workday iS iO begin is settled and maintained long step has been taken toward the easier way. Then comes inc days program. lt is the mistake or iiany women to try to go over the entire house. in one day, unless one has an aHai.dance Of help. The families who Eccp one servant far Outnumber those who maintain more so it Is their sys- tem that will meet with the greatest in tercSt.
 There should be certain days for cer- tan rooms. The living-room. the dining room us vel. and any other room that may be used for the family gathering. ourht Co be gone over daily with the broom or the carpet sweeper and the dust cloth. Do not use feather duster. de the latter only strs up the dust and sends 1t somewhere else. A cloth retains the dust. and il should be shaken into a proper receptacle occasionally. in order that it may not become overloaded.
 1T this program ls lived up to. there win be a delightful absence Of confusion. Some housekeepers select Friday as the sweeping day. The Idea IS to have lefi- nite plans for definite work. By follow lug this plan 1t Is generally possible to accomplish during the week everything desired. The hOasekeeper who Is ap- palled by a speck Of dust in an unused room and interferes with the days pro gram by hasty cleaning Of the room where the offending dust Is located gains nothing Before two hours are passed there will be another dust speck, and her work has really gone for naught. The rooms constantly in use are the only ones in the household that should be given daily cieauiug, and even these should have their thorough rug beating cleaning oD sweeping day.

den, defendant and appellant.
I. Courts favor the trial of cases
upon their merits and in case where
a trial court has refused to open a
default and permit defense to be
made the reviewing court will not
only inquire as to whether the dis
erection of the trial court in denying
the application, has been soundly ex'
ercised, but will examine the facts
shown for the purpose of determining
whether or not in the interests Of JUS
tice and right, and under the liberal
construction generally given the stat
ute permitting court to open de-
fault upon a proper showing, the de-
fault should not be set aside and a
defense upon the merits permitted.
2. In a case in which a party to
an action employs counsel of good
reputation and large experience, the
neglect OF such counsel of matters
necessary to the ordinary procedure
of the case is "suprprise" to the
party within the meaning OF the stat
ute emitting him relief in such case.
3. The neglect Of an attorney reg
ularly retained to prepare and serve
an answer in a case before the time
for answering expires, when occas-
toned by intense absorption of mind
in the conduct of the trial of another
case involving the charge of murder
in the first degree, is excusable with
in the meaning of the statute provid-
ing for the opening of a judgment
entered on default of answer.
4. Upon application to vacate a
judgment entered by default where
the answer presented discloses a good
defense upon the merits and a reas-
enable excuse for delay occasioning
default shown, and no substantial
prejudice appears to have arisen from
the delay, the court should open the
default and bring the case to trial.
5. The defense of a discharge un-
der the law of bankruptcy of claim
upon which action is brought, is not
regarded with any greater disfavor
by the courts than any other legiti-
mate and meritorious defense.
6. Where the circumstances shown
upon an application to vacate a judg-
ment entered by default are such as
to lead court to hesitate before it
refuses to open the judgment, it is
better, as general rule, that the
doubt should be solved in favor of the
application.
