The true accordion can be played in only* one key, that in which it originally is pitched, and the bass keys in the tonic and dominant chords. This instrument never is used for music of serious character. It is popular among the peasantry of some European countries. Clean Tnb When you've scoured the bathtub to gleaming whiteness, dash in a spoon of soap jelly, add a little water, and swish it about with a longhandled brush. This will remove these last persistent grains of cleanser which sometimes can't be seen but are felt when next you bathe. 5 Wfr* ' I ' " «, Water Conveyor ^ Women In rural areas who do not have running water shoukh persuade husband or son to make a cart from an old coaster or baby carriage. This can be used for wheeling .changes of water and also for the basket of clean clothes to be hung for drying. Thus there will be a minimum of lifting and stooping.
