BETTER TO PLAN THAN WORRY
Housewife Seems to Have Right Prin
cipIe, if It Is Properly Con-
sldered.

One Of the cardinal principles OF the
efficient housewife is TO concentrate
her thoughts on the work OF the hour,
and not waste mental energy on the
innumerable tasks which the day
holds for her
There is the story OF the woman
who lamented: Here's Monday and
all the washing's got to be done!
Tuesday, the ironing! Wednesday,
the baking! Goodness! half the weeks
gone. and not thing done yeti
One efficient woman explained her
activities by saying: Il always plan
ahead, but l never worry ahead. II
she is to give a dinner on Thursday
for instance, the menu is prepared
and the main ordering done on Tues
day. She is fortunate in having a
butcher she can trust, so that her
meats are ordered then for delivery
Thursday. On Wednesday she looks
over her linen, dishes and silver, and
has everything in readiness to set the
table the next afternoon Early
Thursday morning she is out, com
Melting her ordering, and by noon
everything is ready for the actual
cooking. Directly after luncheon the
table is arranged, and then she rests
for an hour or two. She has even
heen known to go to club meeting
or bridge party, much to the amaze
ment OF friends who know her plans
for the evening.-Exchange.
