Do you hoard? We do, and some possible hints and suggestions. Per- times when we view our box room haps it's a page suggesting sum- we rather envy those women who mer chair covers, or an article on are completely hard-boiled about how to wash hand-knit woollens, or old clippings, bits of string - and | just à general description of kitchen scraps of material and can throw planning. Use a loose leaf scrap away without suffering from the book and keep a... careful index. sure conviction that some day just those things will be a necessity.
The only trouble with saving old clippings, for example, is that you save and save, get disgusted and have a general throw-away. And then, the very next day, find your- self in dire need of some item that you threw away the day before!
SIT ON THE FLOOR
The clipping complaint can be avoided by a lady with her own library of scrap books that are fun
Choose an evening for your cut-outs when yon won't be disturbed and can really spread out--the floor is a grand place to sit, with everything sprawled about you, a paste pot at your elbow and a waste basket handy for snips of paper.

Another friend has a book of flower arrangements, indexed according to the seasons, so that as her garden blooms, she has an ever-ready supply of smart ideas for arranging those blooms in her home.

use the word man, the boy respects himself, and "beauty" when you speak to the will do much more honour to his. young master of the house but you parents, when he is nicely dressed may and should use "grooming.” în neatly fitting clothes." Too many boys are under the illu- sion that just because they are of the male sex there, is no need to keep fingernails clean, skin clear and hair well cared for. To them a "he-man" never is annoyed with personal grooming.
He should be taught mouth hy-- giene and how to care for his skin. A "cat's wash" leads to muddy, pimply skin, and acne on the face. quickly spreads to the scalp and others parts of the body. And an ailing scalp, or a dirty one, takes. This attitude is as wrong as its toll in an early bald head! mothers's was when she didn't want Also destroy for him that mas--- his curls to be cut off.

MOTHER MUST TAKE INTEREST
Mother must not let him twist her about his little finger. Too fre- quently, indifferent health habits in youth_have grown into serious men- tal or physical disturbances 'as a boy matured, and to avoid just that, it is better to get your son used to the idea that his favourite hero wasn't a sissy even if he did spend time grooming.
Clothes are important, too. |splendid bit of advice was culled from a new ancient book. It reads: "A boy who cares nothing for por- fonal appearance, who does not ap preciate beauty, in others, is likely to develop into the man who will be plovenigy in habits.
