A newspaper man frequently an

Houcecleaning hints not found on
the Atchison Globes Woman's Page:
In removing the household furniture
preparatory for spring hostilities, it is
a good idea to remove the man first.
The woman can find some relief in
roasting her hired assistants and the
man will feel better. Restaurant
cooking is pretty bad sometimes, but
a woman who loves her husband
should advise him to eat down town
during the semi-annuaI disturbance;
housekeeping cooking is worse.
If home life seems monotonous it can
be relieved by arranging the furniture
in different and more complicated
plan. Nothing enlivens a husbands
vocabulary like trying to sit down on
the piano where he thought his Nor
ris chair belonged, or coming in late
and attempting to go to bed in the
chiffonier Tying a towel over the
head to protect the hair from dust is
a hideous habit; better take the hair
off and put 1t in a bandbox until the
rush is over. By breaking as
much bric-a-brac as possible, you
make your labors easier next time.
