that prove, even if you are "up to the eyes in

work," that there's no need to look like it

T used to be that we felt a bit furtive about spring-cleaning. To have to answer the door when you were in the middle of things was a shame. You felt as though you looked as though you had been lurk- ing about in a chimney.

But with the change of the overall from something designed solely as a dust-cover to a colourful, carefully eut little outfit-with-a-purpose, there is no need to look gloomy about the cleaning.

Especially if you remember that your skin will fare far better under that

a heavyish make-up, because

will stop the dirt getting to it.

OLLS are handy things. The sausage roll can be eatenTM- hot or cold, and can be large or small, according to the pur- pose for which it is intended.

Whatever its size. it should always be full of meat. vacuum in a sausage roll is one of life's major disappointments.

The exterior is almost as important as the interior." should be of a rich golden brown colour, and not have that pallid look which comes from lack of baking.

FOR the pastry of which it is made you need half a pound of flour, four ounces of butter, two ounces of Jard, a pinch of salt, and a little water.

Put the Hour, with the pinch of salt, into a basin, and rub the lard into it. Add enough water to make a fairly stiff dough. Roll this out on a floured board. Cut half the butter into small pieces and dot it over the dough. Sprinkle a little flour over and fold the dough in three.

Roll it well, without being heavy-handed, fold it in three again, and repeat this process three times. Then put it on one side in 'n cool place for half an hour.

Roll it out again, dot the rest of the butter over it, and re- peat the threefold rolling and folding as before.

ABC of Spring-Cleaning

ADD disinfectant to all the water which you will be using for

cleaning purposes.

BEFORE you start on the spring-cleaning, call in the sweep. CUPBOARDS, drawers and shelves should all be ransacked

and the oddments thrown away.

DON'T forget frayed electric wires. Tell your husband to sec

to them.

EFFICIENT equipment is the aid to good workmanship. Buy new dusters, look at your mops, see that your brushes have their full quota of bristles.

FURNITURE made of polished wood should be washed with warm vinegar and water and then rubbed down thoroughly with linseed oil.

GAS appliances should be looked over. Flexible rubber tub-`

ing absorbs gas and after a time causes leakage. HANDS suffer at this time of the year; wear gloves for house-

work.

IF you haven't

vacuum-cleaner, don't rest content till you have. Some firms lend them free.

JOBS like removing stains from paint should be done by a decorator. He won't make the meas of them that you will. KEEP a kettle boiling. You'll need hot water-especially for

that life-saving cup of tea.

LEMON dipped in salt is the best cleaner for marble. MILK cleans white enamel. You can clean those little plaster

statuettes and ornaments with it too.

NURSERY toys should not be overlooked. With the handling -

they get they need cleaning more than most things.

all blood is not alike and that human blood differs from that of other species.

In human blood there are four main

groups, which, combined with certain newly-discovered 'factors, form definite blood types. The blood follows exactly the type of

If his blood group is quite dif- Terent. But if his blood group should be the same as the child this does not prove that he is the father. Any man with similar blood groupings could be father.
