bers of the family. between whom the
bond of affection is not 30 strong, have
to consider quite as many little atten-
tions toward each other that are no less
important.
There cannot help being a mutual in

or not, and a very essential duty Is to
keep them always posted as to your
whereabouts. That is. a sudden call out

or IL necessary gives up an outside pleas

amusemnts together.
Aside from these attentions there are
many petty annOyances which have to
be guarded against at all times. One OF
these Is unwarranted disturbance of
some person while he or she Is resting.
To waken every member Of the family
just because you have to get up early is
sure to rouse antagonism. On the other
hand. the person who steals In quietly
when others have retired. takes pains not
to turn the gas or light flaring in some
ones sleeping face. nor 70 talk or whis-
per with n roommate until the wee small
hours. assists immeasurably toward the
congeniaI workings of a home and family.
That each person shall have his own

Welding all these little attentions to-

Of others. and TO realize that he must de-

The Paint Pail in Housecleaning.

Our grandmothers had a penChant for
decking their closet shelves out with neat
taCinEs of cut paper. Sometimes they
bought this by the ward and sometimes
th"y spent hours shipping away with the
scissors to make their neat shelf papers
our CrandmothcrS didn't know that
those papers were an opNn invitation to
insects ard Thousand germs they
dreamed not of. But nowadays no far
sighted housewife INDUCES in these neat
papers. Instead. with every spring house
cleaning she goes over her pantry and
closet shelves with pot Of white enamel
paint. or II the shelves have hCcn cnam-
eled before she has thcm scrubbed with
warm water ard soap without fear Of
hurting the enamel.
