Handy
Hints

Housekeeping
a
few
remarks
on
the
"
fine
husband
that
man
is
going
to
make
"
who
remembers
the
little
things,
but
they
would
be out
of
place
In
a
bachelor
book.
Many
there
are,
however,
who
never
pay
attention
to
such
details,
but
leave
the
bed
rumpled
and
tumbled
as
they
jump
out
of
it
In
the
morning.
The
well-bred
young
man
always
airs
his
bed
with
the
same
care
In
which
he
takes
his
morning
tub,
putting
the
pillows,
If
possible,
where
the
sunlight
may
fall
upon
them.
Falling
this,
the
air
at
least
keeps
the
feathers
fluffy
and
light
and
the
ticking
fresh
and
clean.
TO
CLEAN
Hair
brushes
and
clothes
brushes
need
BRUSHES
constant
care
to
keep
them
In
proper
con-
dition.
Comb
the
loose
hair
and
dust
from
them
every
time
they
are
used.
Once
a
week
Is
not
too
often
to
clean
the
brushes
In
dally
use.
Pour
In
the
wash
basin
some
tepid
water
and
add
ammonia
to
make
strong.
Hold
the
brush
In
this
a
few
moments,
taking
care
not
to
let
the
water
go
above
the
bristles'
top,
then
take
a
whisk
broom
and
brush
the
bristles
out
as
If
dusting
them.
The
ammonia
cuts
the
dirt
and
grease,
and
makes
a
brush
like
new
after
such
treatment.
Dry
in
the
sun
or
In
the
open
air.
If
possible.
If
not,
lay
on
a
papef
over
the
radiator.
It
should be
first
wiped
dry
with
a
clean
cloth.
Combs
may
be
cleaned
In
the
same
way.
To
clean
sponges,
squeeze
the
juice
of
a
lemon
into
the
sponge
and
thoroughly
work
It
Into
the
fiber.
Then
rinse
in
warm
water.
This
makes
It
sweet
and
