during the summer. Wait for a cool
day to do the scrubbing with warm,
"sudsy' water and a soft cloth.
When the linoleum is dry spread a
liquid self-polishing wax over it
with cloth or applicator. A single
coat is sufficient and will last for
a long time with only a damp cloth
needed to remove the surface dirt.
For your hardwood floors you will
want to build up lovely, soft
patina. Use a quality paste or liquid
wax for the basic coat and after it
dries polish thoroughly with a
weighted polisher. An occasional
waxing thereafter will build up a
durable and beautiful finish.
The furniture, too. Of course,
the living room chairs are pro-
tected by summer covers, but the
incidental tables, the dining room
pieces, the bedroom furnishings, be
they dark or blond wood, are beau
titled by contact with a good paste,
cream or liquid wax, which fills
in scratches while it polishes.
Don't Forget Windowsills.
Then there are the painted sur
faces. No matter how conscientious
a hOmemaker you are, you won't
feel up to wholesale scrubbing of
woodwork on a breathless summer
morning. Still you cannot close
your eyes to the windowsills, serv-
ing as shelves for the dust that
blows in, despatched by summer
rain fltering through the SCREEN
ing, and marked by flngerprints.
So wax them. With that small
effort, performed once, you elimi-
nate all future scrubbings, because
dust and CRIME will not adhere to
a waxed surface, and a single
sweep of a dry cloth will wipe
away any CRIME that merely rests
upon the waxy film.
Now, there you are. That's the
whole framework of summer
housekeeping :. the care oil
furniture, floors and other sur
faces open to the weather. The

Time was, when the homekeeper
could run away from the mid
summer heat. There was always
little lake-front cottage, a seashore
bungalow or country hotel where
children were cheerfully invited. So
children and luggage were slowed in
