KEEPING THE LINEN IN ORDER

Well Ordered Closet Is a Joy and With . a Little Care May Easily Be Pro* vlded for In Any House. A well ordered linen closet is a joy to every housewife who fortunately possesses one. The really ideal linen closet, of course, is one that is big enough to have a window; but the usual line closet is built into some cranny of the upper hall, in a rather dark, out-of-the-way corner. This sort of closet is, of course, Just as useful as the larger, airier one, and with a little attention can be made to look almost as well. Before the week's laundry work is put away it should be thoroughly aired. This rule applies to sheets, towels, pillow slips and table linen, as well as to clothes. If the day is bright and dry the freshly-ironed clothes can be spread on a clothes horse on a sunshiny plaza, of in an open window. If the day is damp they should be aired before a stove, fireplace or radiator. It is a good plan also to leave the linen closet door open for an hour or so every few days, when the windows throughout the house are open.— Washington Star.
