 In reply to the first part of this let ter must say with regret that the children's books offered had all been given away before this request arrived.

go to the pantry late at night and ss.k chances for criticism and reform. Open your bread and cake boxes. Are they marked by the sweetness which shows they have been properly scalded and dried or are the fragments they hold relics of the baking of week--or . fortnight ago?
 Are there no crumbs left on the kitchen table to attract mice and ants and reaches? Is the garbage can tightly cov- cred, and was it lined with paper before the scraps were thrown Into 1t? Are all the jars and tins closed. and are there shoppers in each bottle and can or arc there openings by which dust and vermin may make their way to the contents? How about the flour barrel and the sugar canister? Arc there no traces near them of your last nasty trip for materials when you were in so great rush that you did not stop to brush up what your hurried hand scattered? Is there no rim of sticSi- ness about the mols sses jug, no drippings from carelessly poured pot or pitcher?
 What about the dish towels? Are they scalded at least once a day and hung where they will dry? Is your disholoth or mop boiled daily or is 1t permitted to get sour and rank with germs? Has the icebox been kept spotlcss and sweet, or do you wait until an evil odor tells you that securing is demanded?
 know how fatally easy 1t is to slip Into careless customs as to all these matters. You have all you can do to manage the work that cannot be put off or evaded. and when you have finished the impera- tive duties of the day you are so worn out that you lack energy to restore order.
 This is precisely the point l wish to make. My own opinion is that much of the fatigue is due to the habit of follow ing the ways how not to do it. To get tho better of this introduce a few reforms along the lines we have been discussnx. Once you have formed the method of sys- tematic arrangement and management you will find your labor appreciably re- duced, Just as the scientific efficiency Of

which ws hear % much talk nowadays consists in the cutting out of needless movements in accomplishing any kind of work. so the efficiency of the domestic worker Is promoted by a system which aids her to do most with least effort
 To give . concrete example: If you koep your utensils in an order which enables you to take down any one you wish with out having to stop to think where h is: if you never have to ponder for . minute as to the locality of an ingredient; if you are not obliged to stop in mid-oareer to get an article you mood because you failed to have everything at hand whom you be- gan, you havo economised thought and effort and fitted yourself to do moro work in shorter space and with less wear1nsss than when you practiced the hit or miss method. or lack of method.
 All these little savings of tinno ana strength mount up by the end of the day. and whom you have increased them by the facility with which you restore promptly to it's place everything you have had in use you have yet more reduced the strain upon yourself.
  tend them further still. Try to comprc- hend that you add nothing to the excel lence of your work by doing 1t in the hardest way.
 wouldn't take the trouble to cit down "a to peel potatoes or do anything of that sort" q housekeeper said in my hearing tho other day. Lazy. shiftless ways call them. I just go ahead and do my work ss always have and get 1t done as fast as can without wasting time spar ing myself"
 It sounds plausible, doesn't it? Like wise familiar. If you haven't made that Kind Of remark yourself you have cer- tainly heard 1t frequently. and you also recognize the complaint uttered by my housekeeping friend st the end of the day that she was worn to frszzle." that her feet and back ached like toothache, and that she was fit for nothing but to tumble Into bed Yet 1t did rot occur to her that if shc had sat down to peel the vegetables, or to Iron small pieces which demanded little hard pressure or to cut up the apples for sauce, or to attend to a variety of other minor duties she could have saved sufiicient time and strength to permit her to reach the evening in a condition when she could mean some thing better to her family and herself than a wornout household drudge.
 Endeavor to make up your mind that If you possess 6 false conscience which leads you to make virtue of performing your work in the fashion that involves most effort and pain. even though the result you win is not improved. you are only furnishing rather absurd demon- stration of how not to do 1t. Study a as well as systematizIng of methods. keep as comfortable as you can while you are at work, and never fear that so long as you hold your stand ard high the product will not show any falling off In excellence.

 Have you regular positions for every staple and do you put it back when you have used it, or do you stick 1t on the shelf at random?
