Clean your home twice a day and you'll still find dust. Wash every day of the week and you'll still find something to wash. But if the silver KOLS unpolished one week, because the sun tempted you, who is going to complain? There will be rainy days when you can indulge in R perfect orgy of shining and mending. When the sun shines, forget that ume-table. Do the necessary, every-
