WHEN THE CHILDREN HELP.
"I never did see such helpful chil-
dren as Mrs. Blake's," observed one
acquaintance to another. "I chanced
in there this morning, and I wish you
might` have seen what they were each
doing to help with the work. Mrs.
Blake says she never could get along
if .they did not all help her, and she
told me of astonishing things they
do."
"I expect that is why they do so
much," smiled the other.
"How do you mean?"
"Why, they do things because their
mother allows them to do them and
expresses her appreciation. I. think
nearly all Iittle children like to help
until they are discouraged by_their
alders,
"I remember calling on Mrs. Blake
when Laura was a tiny child. Laura
had spent a strenuous hour or more
in an attempt at making her mother's
bed. 'Come and see how nicely Laura.
has made my bed,' her mother in-
vited. And the child's little face
radiated joy and. satisfaction. I've al-
ways remembered it, because it so
forcibly reminded me of a time when
1 had puffed and reached and labored
to surprise my mother by making her
;ped. 'Yes, dear, that's very nice,' she
said. Then, to my tragic amazement,
she pulled the bed to pieces and pro-
ceeded to make it according to her
own notions. I was deeply hurt, for
I had given my best
"After her notable maiden effort
Laura often stood at one side of.the
bed to help mother with the making.
And by the time she could- properly

those children spring on their mother,.

she accepts them. She cheerfully
looked through streaked windows for
' a week after George surprised her by
washing them one busy morning; and.
now she's reaping her reward, for
George is proud to do them perfectly.
She never murmured when Don lap-

her sweet peas.
"That's the reason her children are
helpful, if you ask me" G. L. S.

A list of things' which ought to go
into such a closet includes two good
corn brooms, one of them covered with
a cotton -flannel bag for dusting walls,
mouldings or floors. Also are. includ-
ed a dry mop for hardwood floors, and
another mop and scrub bucket' for
floors that need mopping. A mop
wringer is a recommended attachment
for the bucket.
Shelves in the closet allow conven-
ient storage space for bottles of such
cleaning solutions as ammonia, and
for soap solutions. A drawer or two
comes in handy for cloths and dusters.
If the house is equipped with .a
vacuum cleaner, make room for that

room for the carpet sweeper. If there
are radiators, a narrow "radiator
brush" is well worth having. If the
house has an indoor toilet, bathroom
tongs or a long -handled brush are re-
commended.
