SAVING STEPS FOR MOTHER.

Teach each member of the family
to turn their colored or black hose in
side out before putting in laundry.

or preparing special water, as no lint
remains on the outside and it saves
mother from turning a bunch of stock
ings on wash day.
Have a laundry bag for each mem
Der of the family, requesting each to
put all soiled laundry in its place and
not leave around for mother to pick
up.
Teach the children to turn their
bedding back upon arising in the
morning, TO put all their things away
and leave the dressing table tidy. At
noon they can make up the bed and
the room is neat.
Take a small table, put casters on
and nail some little strips around the
top. TO prevent dishes slipping off. and
allow the children to clear the dining
table. Stack the dishes on this wheel
table and push it to the kitchen. They
will think it fun.
Where the family is large use pa
per towels.
No matter if a child is small. il can
be taught to hang up its own gar
ments. on low hooks provided for ii,
and it can also help TO keep the house
clean, by just little training.
