About A Mental Spring
 Cleaning?
BY RUTH LEIGH

vTSHIS time of the year you will find
 busy housewives giving. their homes
 thorough spring cleaning. l won der why some business folk don't fol low this domestic example, but apply it to themselves.
 In other words, how about a mental spring cleaning-taking stock of your self, looking yourself over, to find out where you're going, or where you're falling to go?
 Every now and then it's good policy to turn our minds inside out, to sweep away the cobwebs in the dark corners, to brush up our resolutions un- til they are fresh, clean and shining.
 In short, look yourself over and ask yourself how you compare with the other folk in your office. If Miss M is getting ahead, If she had her salary increased the first of the year, and you did not, it might be good idea to ask yourself why-what Miss M does to warrant this increase, and what you fail to do.
 Or, it may be an idea to ask your self if you like to be a leader or a follower. Whether you prefer to take ICcpOuElDlllIy Ou yOuEN OWu or to shove it on those of others. At this time of the year, with spring cleaning in order, it is an excellent idea to look yourself over and to write down few things that you know about yourself.
 If you're holding your job just as stop-gap or a meal ticket until you get married, ask yourself if you're de- veloping in your job any qualities that will be a help or a hindrance to you in your domestic life.
 The great trouble with many busi- ness women is that they work month after month, allowing themselves to get in a rut, and then after they have been in it for some time, appeal to others for help to get them out.
 This spring cleaning time will be an excellent one to ask yourself if you've got into a mental rut, and if you have, it is wise to keep yourself out of it. The important thing, however, once you know what is wrong with you, is to act on your discovery and try to change your course. It's not especially helpful to houseclean mentally unless you make 1t q point to use your findings to some advantage to yourself. There's no ad- vantage in knowing what's wrong with yourself unless you make some insistent effort to improve.

 Don't stop here, house on wheels r' Raggedy Ann said. Keep going until you come to soda water spring or a field of candy covered cookies v But the house on wheels did not smudge a speck.
 Instead, it just stood still and shook itself until the. pictures rattled against the walls and the nice poor man, who had been asleep up on the roof, rolled off and came tumbling down into the great mass of ferns.
 ''I guess I must have fallen asleep" the poor man said as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Did. I roll off the roof, Raggedy Ann?"
