For The
Homemaker's Eve


With the advent of spring as
heralded by the balmy breezes the
thoughts of the housewife turn
not lightly-to thoughts of spring
house cleaning.
The invention of the vacuum
cleaner and other household appli-
ances has robbed house-cleaning
of some of it's old-time terror, but
still some things must be done at
one time of the year reminiscent
of the old siege known as "spring
house-cleaning" so terrifying to
the husband and father who dread
ed visions of his better half with
head swathed in a towel, an anx-
ious, frenzied look on her face as
she awaited his coming to give
the finishing touches to the rugs
and carpets while she assembled
from unaccustomed places, a snack
in lieu of regular meal, which
was usually eaten from the corn
er Of a kitchen table which was
the receptacle for a motley array
of articles from all over the house.
AS a matter of fact, the things
that makes house cleaning nova
days an easier matter than it used
to be is not so much the invention
of house-cleaning appliances as it
is the simplification of present.
day furnishings. Few of us have
carpets that must be taken up
once year. We have rugs and
polished or painted floors instead.
And the old-time heavy window
and door draperies are seldom
seen. There are fewer ihangings
and draperies of all sorts, so that
house-cleaning is simply an es-
pecially thorough cleaning day.
Beds and Clothing Merit Special
Attention
One thing that should be done
at this time of the year, however,
relates to the care of the beds and
bedding of the house. All beds
should be taken down and thor
oughly washed, and white beds
should be repainted. The springs
and Stats Of all beds should be
thoroughly painted with disin-
fectant and if possible the mat
tresses should be remade. If this
is inexpedient, they should be
thoroughly aired and either clean
ed with a vacuum cleaner OF
beaten and brushed thoroughly
Another detail is the cleaning OF
the clothes put away for the
summer. They should be cleaned
and thoroughly aired before being
packed away in moth balls, cedar
chest or camphor.
All dresser drawers and closets
should be thoroughly cleaned
Closet walls should be washed ant
calcimined. The closet floor!
should also have a little attention
Perhaps they have chinks ant
cracks where dust and dirt cal
collect. These should be stuffe'
up with putty and the floors b
painted with some durable foo
paint. Some particular house
wives even paint their dresse
drawers with white paint an
enamel, thus giving them a finis
that can easily be washed.
Summer clothes should be take
out of their packing and put int
shape for the first warm days, S
that one is. saved the annoyanc
of a badly creased gown or skill
when one is urgently needed.
Housewives nowadays hay
learned to conserve their strengt
by doing little at time and NJ
upsetting the whole household j
