the finest housekeeper this side OF

what was in the family refrigerator.
Don't let the pictures of neat re-

kept one like that. If you want

before You can get to the milk you
are going to have to move two or
three water bottles, a couple Of cans
of fruit Juice and jar of olives.
Serious Trouble Ahead.
If it's water you are after. you
are certain to find the way blocked
by several bottles of milk, the fruit
juice and a tomato or two which
has worked its way up from the
vegetable trays ut the bottom of
the refrigerator. But 1t is in the
the central sections of the refrig-
orator that man who is looking for
something runs into serious trou-
BILE. There, on the big racks, Is
everything. A plate of leftover
salad balances precariously on the
pitcher Of cream. The leg Of lamb
fights for elbow room with the half

by putting bits OF leftovers on the
