UNCONSIDERED TRIPLES IN HOUSEKEEPING

gather them up and put them in place-don't
you know them all?
Haven't you seen them in other peoples
houses? Are there any in your own homer
Look about and see-if you have nos become
so accustomed to them that you don't no-
tice them when they are there.
Have l told you the old story OF ths
wealthy farmers wife who was so pros-
trated by his death that she neglected to
give the place the personal supervision tx
had hitherto had? After a while she began
to noti,s how everything had gone to wreck
and ruin; the house was running down, the
farm itself was deteriorating. and the trim,
prosperous appearance on which she had
prided herself was gone
In her distress she made a pilgrimage to
the wise woman of the community, laid the
trouble before her. ana asked for a spell
TO remedy conditions. The wise woman
gave 1t soiemniy. Each morning the FARM
er's widow was to go into each of the four
corners of every room and building on thn
premises and stand with her elbow In the

worked. During the time the counting de-
manded the widow had time to see the
faults which should be corrected, the dirt
that needed cleaning UP. the repairs that
ought TO be made. She perceived as nsvsr
before how the men and maids had sifghted
their duties. and by the time she came OUT
of her corners she brought her employees
up with round turn Her seeding eyes had
come back to her and IN nttle while shs
had restored the farm and it's appurts-
nances to their former condition. and pross
perity had returned to her.
Something like this would not DO ani a
for some of the rest of us. We,might no1
literally stand in the cornnrs and count
Ave and twenty. but we might achieve an
equivalent, For my part find It extr emely
profitable once in while to take a chalr
in one of the rooms and look about me az
though with the eyes of stranger. It il
astonishing how many new aspects present
themselves to me. how many small defects
/ discover which had overlooked or taken
for granted in my cursory glance. when my
thoughts had been occupied with some.
thing else than the objects 1 beheld.
Bear in mind. however, that. to quote the
Scotch saying, Many mickle makes a
muckle." All these little things, inconsd-
erable In themselves, swell to a rather for
midable sum total when you attempt to set
them all right at once. The worst OF it Is
that they repeat themselves every day and
there is a constantly recurring series of tri-
hes demanding attention.
The only way is to turn in and have one
big killing get the house to rights, and
then undertake the little things as they pre-
sent themselves day by day, before they
have the chance to assume overwhelming
proportions This may be done IL you form
the habit of looking upon nothing as too
small to do the moment it presents itself
and to keep at it without faltering or fall
ing.

You are waiting for time and chance. too
to do a host of other small duties How
long you have left that gumpe hanging
unworn in the closet because it is short two
or three hooks and eyes, and you never

month that you have delayed putting

you take your second best shoes to the cob
bier and have new heels put on them instead
of wearing your good shoes every day be-

Close neighbor to this are the letters you
have slowed away to look over and read
some day, the drawers and boxes run of old
correspondence that has accumulated and
glance through before consigning 1t to the
flames. Altogether likely 1t is that there
are the receipts for paid UP bills and tho
bank vouchers which need to be sorted and
filed. All little tasks to begin with, but

Another section OF little things awaits

cracked pieces in kind of hospital corner ?

be laid aside for old linen. Your towels and
