This is the business of handling the clothes. If you have a clothes chute, the family , will probably still drop the soiled towels on the bathroom floor. The I master's sox are still either under {the' bed, or perhaps in the living j room, or whereever he sometimes | decides to take them off. There is even sometimes only one sock (this i is a problem I can never seem to I figure out--whfere a sock can just : disappear to and never come to light.) i There is also the sorting- which ' never come in the right sized loads i and this is very uneconomical. And J '*- Jvr-. ;- ' ;vv -\ ' v'"- •"V there is the occasional bright rod scarf hidden in the white clothes which creates an all day problem of bleacing and that brings on a'lot of extra handling. There Is the placing and arranging and straightening for drying, or after drying", nd there is the eternal untwisting of things that come out' disguised as a rope. What the American housewife really needs is disposable clothing. There is a problem a scientist could really get his teeth into. Just think if you could stand in your bathroom, disrobe and drop the whole darned outfit in the wastebasket. Think of the pleasure of never having to worry because one of the buttons dropped off when you hurried a little. Think of never again carrying a load of clothes to the ironing* board; and never finding holes in stockings that are bigger than the feet. Just think of the space sayed in houses for recreation and time to use the space. If some scientist will just get busy on this problem for me, I shall be glad to think up some good name for these clothes. Let's see--disposees, thoroffeze, or maybe just junkees-- Mrs. Calvin Kolar was one of the gbests present at a stork shower held last week in' honor of Mrs. Robert Struck at the Struck home.

Mrs. Andersoh, who made her home with the Pinkels on Lake Shore Drive, Indian Ridge, was well known to the neighborhood because she did so love to fish. As late as the latter part of October, she could be seen trudging down to the lake with her fishing tackle. As often as she caught something, there were days at a time when she didn't, bat the true Izaak Walton spirit beat in her breast; she fished for the pate love of fishing and not necessarily for fish. Mrs. Pinkel will be lonely without the companionship of her mother, which she has enjoyed for the past four years.

Peel the upholstery for lump* and run the hand along the top tiLthe mattress to locate Mils and vallays. 2. Look at the mattress tailoring. Are there amy breaks anywhere in the stitching or covering? Are any tufts missing? Is the edge or border broken or sagging? Are the handles loose? Broken-down tailoring is a good sign that a mattress has had Its share of wear. S. The yardstick test.
