TIPS AND WRINKLES

TN this article I want to find

space for a number of hints that may act as reminders at this time of year of jobs that ought to come into the scope of your cleaning and renovating operations.

First I sugest that you take the oll-can from the sewing machine kit and go right through the house oll- ing locks, window fastenings, door

Far hinges, etc.

more of these things are rusted away than are worn out, and half an hour spent in this way will be repaid many times in a year.

Here is another worth-while job which could with advantage be done every week. With a fitted cork or wooden plus, or even a wad of soft rag, plug up the waste-pipe of the kitchen sink at its outside end where It discharges over the gully. Then All the pipe completely with a strong solution of hot soda water (any two handfuls of soda to half a palikul of water). Leave it for five minutes and then remove the plug and treat- ment with clean water. This treat- ment should rid the pipe of any traces of grease.

LAVE you a floor which hins suitable

colour or which you wish to strip completely before restaining? One | part oxalic acid to 10 parla hot water makes an effective bleach.

Apply

it with a brush and afterwards sponge the floor with a half-and-half solution of vinegar and water. Oxalle meld is a poison, so be careful.

An alternative bleach Is benzine or naphtha. These are applied with a plece of old sponge, and when the floor is clean they are allowed to evaporate. The danger of benzine and paplitho Bes in the fact that they are both highly inflammable, so you'll have to be careful any way,

Rugs on pollshed floors have spelled downfall to many a guest- If you stitch a scrap of lyre inner tube to each corner of your rugs, it WIFE

never happen again, Cut a small square from the rubber tube and make small holes for the stitches all round the edge, with a bradawl or a large needle. Then simply stitch them in place.

IF you

are

buying new stair carpet this year, buy an extra yard so that you can move the carpet up or down one complete tread at six monthly -intervals to distribute the wear.

Remember, too, that stale carpet should be laid with the pile towards the fool of the stairs so that the foot presses 11 down instead brushing it up..

Well, that's about all I've room for this time, I hope one or two of these hints will be of use to you.

I'm Glad I'm Selfish

By A LAZY HUSBAND

PROBABLY few men conform less to the popular conception of the ideal husband than I do. For from jumping up after dinner and lending hand with the washing up, or offering occasionally to give the baby Its bath, I invariably settle down in the must comfortable chair in the room and am apt to grumble it my pipe is not filed for me.

What a brutel" a great many feminine readers will doubtless ex- claim, and yet I am convinced that my attitude in the home is largely responsible for the amicably rela tions existing between my wife and myself after several years of married

fc.

In the first place, selfishness suits me, and, as everybody knows, a con; tented husband is the first essential of happy home,

ไ

Let him be mournful, and no matter how hard the wife trles relations between them are bound to. deteriorate. Good for a Wife

But I do not defend my selfishness purely on the grounds that it suits me-far from it. I think that it is the best possible thing for my wife, and were I not naturally selfish i should cultivate selfshness as a bounden duty. Only so should I be able to keep her in the frame of mind in which I am convinced she is most happy.

After all, in nearly every marriage, the husband's duty is to earn the inoney, and the wife's-to look after her husband! If, in addition, to providing her keep, he also under-

takes must of the houseworic and reduces her to a purely decorative capacity, the subconscious feeling that she is not pulling her weight will have as dangerous a psychologi- cul effect us the actual enforced idleness.

Women enjoy work, especially if it is done for somone who will freely mute out praise or blume according to their desserts, and if you can convince them that they are martyrs to their work, their happiness will know no bounds.

For the Best

hug-

But I carry selfishness beyond the

home. Many bounds of the hands, when asked by their wives how they would like to spend the day, reply, "How would you?" But no invariably inap out the pro- gramme by myself, and bere again I feel certain that I am acting for the best.

It is not only that women enjoy being dominated, though that is ecr- talnly an important point, but also women are incapable of making up their minds, and rather than exert themselves to that extent they pre- fer to do nothing at all.

If women feel that they are un- selfishly doing what the man wants, instead of what they want them- selves, their pleasure is doubled.

So, when my wife brings me the paper and fills my pipe, I feel no compunction at all.

I value the happiness of my mar- ried life, and would not change it for the world.

Purchase for each door two pieces of ply-wood. the same size as the doer, or just a fraction smaller on all sides. Remove the handles and finger plates from the door and fix one plece of ply-wood on each side, securing with small tacks at frequent intervals.

A hole will have to be, drilled through where the old handle was, and the old handle can be refixed, modern touch, or, to give a more new chromium handies may be fixed. It is not necessary to remove and reft the lock. And odd fob man will easily be able to adapt the old lock, bui a slightly longer-thafted key whil probably be necessary to account for the extra thickness of the plywood panels. After fixing the panels, enamel or paint them to match the rest of the paintwork of the room.
