HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE are soon cleaned with the vacuum cleaner, or, otherwise, may be brushed, laid flat, out of doors if possible. Bloom on Pianos often presents a problem. The use of a good cream or polish will help in overcoming this difficulty, care being needed, however, to rub off the polish properly. Leather Handbags and Shopping Bags will benefit by an occasional rub-up with a good white shoe polish. Patent Shoes should be “massaged” with a good shoe cream as soon as they are taken off, and should then be placed on trees. This treatment helps to smooth out the creases caused during wear and the cream keeps the leather pliable and soft, thus preventing foot soreness and promoting foot comfort, which means much to health. HOUSEHOLD REFUSE Only ashes and tins should be put into the dustbin, and the tins should be first washed, or burned out, to avoid attracting flies. Animal or vegetable refuse should be got rid of as soon as possible, preferably by burning. If there is no coal fire it may be burnt in a fire-bucket in the back yard or buried, where there is a garden. Avoid putting anything wet into the dustbin, as flies breed in damp, warm vegetable matter or in waste from food. Dustbins should be kept covered and emptied at least once a week. They should be washed periodically by being filled half full with hot water and a large piece of soda, then scrubbed with a bass broom, rinsed, dried with a cloth and left open in the air until perfectly dry.
