"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.

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 in the. • closet. In any event, make 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. Generally, ' a closet the size of an ordinary door and about two feet deep will hold all this equipment, and not a few farmwives have found such closets of great value. They save time in looking for things, and they avoid having cleaning equipment, not al- ways -sightly, sitting around in odd corners all over the house. A NEW APRON. with "lap."
