In the April Woman’s Home Companion a contributor tells about a little journey of eradication which the recently took through her own house.

Most of her bric-a-brac, the loot of many Christmases and birthdays, when looked at impartially, appeared like so many tombstones for dead emotions. Further explorations resulted in the dismissal of some of her husband's belongings. This caused some irritation but not. as much as might be imagined. Altogether, the sugg< ;- tlcn, as exhibited by this woman’s own experience, is mighty interesting and thought-provoking.
