JUST JUNK CURTAINS
by Minnic Pallister
A
N old curiosity shop in a tiny London street drew me in to inspect its antiques.
To the unseeing eye the stud in the shop looked just junk. Everything was dimmed by dust and neglect, as it had come from sale room or cupboard.
But when a discerning customer took a dirty wooden box or a grimy vase home, and washed and polished, then the beauty shone out. The box was made of exquisitely grained wood, per- fectly put together and lined, the por celain vase showed flowers with the colours fresh and glowing as on the dar_an_arilat palated them.
The quailty of the material and workmanship stood up to many years of hard wear or neglect, ʼn little scour- ing and polishing brought it up ngal in all its beauty.
Crisis Courage
People are often surprised in times of crisis to see how soine people they never thought much of rise to the occasion. How many wonien just now nre doing unaccustomed work, pre- siding
families Of difficult children, running clubs and canteens, showing all sorts of talent no one know they possessed?
over
The quality was there, but it needed a polisi. A sudden emergency acted like the bath of warm süda, or the briskly applied scrubbing-brush-1 brought up the grain.
Only Thoughtless
Probably none of us shine as much an wo should. Wo let the dust of neglect settle noiselessly on our thoughts and minds and tongues.
But when we get down to it, and get the best in ourselves on top, we can feel we're really worth-while people once inofe.
Keep Bathroom Clean
No room in the house demands
absolute cleanliness more urgent-
ly than the, bathroom. The presence of dirt in this room is painfully apparent and Indicates indifferent housekeeping as well as ignorance of health principles.
Fifteen minutes of systematic care every day should insure sanitation provided everyone who uses. the bathroom helps to keep it tidy and clean.
Thorough airing is the first step. Next all fixtures should be washed with soup and water, the Noor mapped or scrubbed, the woodwork dusted or wiped with a soupy cloth, ant fresh towels and wash cloths substituted for the soiled ones on the rods.
Parsley Point
PARSLEY bought from the green-
grocer and not used up at once can be kept fresh for weeks in a dampened glass jam jar covered with n small round piece of damp sponge. Squeeze out the sponge in fresh cold water every day until the para-| ley is used.
