MOST of us hate clean- ing our homes. But most us have to do it. Well, there is a wrong way of doing it and a right one.
You must see that you not only beautify your home, but also your figure.
To begin with, don't undress to do it, but dress up in a particular style. Put on a bathing suit, or shorts, if you have a pair, and any light woolly jersey.
Wear a pair of sandals on your fect and tie your hair back with a wide ribbon—or, better still, cover it up entirely with a handkerchief.
And when you've finished for the day, go straight off and have a long, leisurely bath, with plenty of bath salta or lotion in it. Instead out and cross, af feeling worn you'll find you feel fit and well exercised.

Here's a good plan for arranging two large bunches of daffodils, narcissus, jonquils, or, a mix- ture of all three.
TASTY WAY TRIFLES HERE are some new ways
of making trifles which are pleasing to the taste without being unduly expen- sive.
To make lemon trifle, break three sponge cakes into a pic-dish and pour over them a custard.
For this custard tako half a
pint of milk and put it into a saucepan with one dessertspoon- ful of sugar and the grated rinds of two lemons. Heat the milk, then stir in a piece of butter the size of an egg.
Make ready in a basin the yolks of three eggs, well beaten. Pour the hot milk over these, stirring all the time. When quite thick the custard is ready. If not thick enough heat again for a few minutes, but do not allow to boil.
Whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth with a pinch of salt, then add one dessertspoon- ful of sugar. Pour the custard over the sponge cakes, then squeeze lemon juice over, and pile the whipped whites of ergs Jon top. Place the dial in the oven to brown slightly, if [desired.
To Make Coffee Trifle
Prepare by first lining a dish with sponge cakes, cut in half and spread with fresh or canned straw- berries or raspberries, well mashed and sprinkled with eastor sugar to taste. Now add two sliced bananas and ratafia.
Have ready one pint of coffee made with new milk. Make this exactly the same strength as for drinking. Now prepare one pint of custard with the coffee, using custard powder or two fresh eggs, as preferred.-Pour into the trifle and leave until 'set and cold, then decorate with glace cherries or angelica finely cut, and a few dabs of whipped cream.
For grapefruit trifle peel and remove all the pith from one large or two small grapefruit, then cut into meat pieces. Place a layer of cornflakes in the bottom of a glass dish, then a layer of grapefruit and sprinkle with castor suger,
Make a lemon jelly and pour over the grapefruit, then repeat with layers of cornflakes and grape- fruit-and more jelly. When set firmly decorate the trifle with any fresh or canned berry fruits and whipped cream.
Take two vases, one tall, one short, and put a bunch in cach, Then stand them one behind the Cother. If your vases are both the same height,
stand one on an in- verted bulb bowl or s polished wooden box.
