You" Know Them—-
THE MUDDLERS
|
Elli-[Al’s there are more muriv’
P than among women lll their
own horned than anywhere cine.
Because the woman Working with-
out supervision at home has such a‘
wonderful opportunity to muddle:
things. If she Works in an ottlce or
store she may do some dreadful;
inuddiing at times but a certainl
amount of system is imposed on her‘
there. . .
Starts Too Much
The murldler always shirts u lot‘
0' things ut Once. She has no defi-
nite idea of “hat tusk she is gomg
to get tionn first—-she just has a
hazy idmi that Certain things ought

at the same time. Here in a day’s
uherlula with a first-class inuddler.
n‘hc goth up with a, start in the
morning and, hurrying into her
i'athroho. goon across the hall and
starts the water running for a
before-breakfast tub. She makes up?
her mind that hereafter she is going
to take her bath at night instead of‘
in the morning. Having done that.
she goes in to wake up the children=
of the household. goes back to her.
own room and, in order not to waste
time, starts putting on her stock-
ings and shoes. Then she hurries'
hack to the bathroom, finds the tul»
full of water. but decides that since.
she has already put on her shoe3l
she'll stick to the habit of nightly
baths.
Somehow she struggles through.
her other pro-breakfast duties and.
after breakfast she starts dusting:
the rooms. While she is dusting the
mail comes. She leaves her duster
on a. chair and proceeds with open»‘ '
in her mail. One letter it seems to
her cells for an immediate answer.
She forgets her dusting and anal"

begins to wonder what she will wear
and decides that she had better look;
at her black velvet—perhaps thati
will do. She takes the clothes out.‘
of the closet off the guest-room sndf
lays them out on the bed. decides
to have the purple satin made over.
and sits down to rip. it up. i
The 3011 Wade Ber
Just then she rememhsrs'that her
husband asked her to darn some
stockings end. leaving the frock
half ripped. she proceeds to do some
darnlng. In the middle of this task
the striking of a church bell re-
minds her that it is eleven and she
has ordered nothing for the chil—.
dren's lunch. it is too late to hope:
to have anything sent. so she hurrieaj‘
into her outdoor clothes and goes'
out to the stores. but. not having
taken inventory of her refrigerator
or asked her maidwhat she needed;
she Just buys somerohops and some-
Cai'lned pens for the children's lunch. ;
And so it goes. Meantime later “‘l
the day she will dud the duster in;
the chair or homeone will accioi
dentslly sit on it, she will find the;
guest-room bed strewn with clothes,
nei- purple frock will be half rippedi
up and the darning tools laid out on.
a. chair in her own bedroom with
three cooks all of different pairs
darned—and the rest still unsorted
and undamed.
Of ‘courle the only way for the
muddle: to help matters is to set for
herself a very strict programme.
and to get in the habit of doing Just
certain things on certain days at
certain times. Perhaps it is tire-
some but it has many advantages.
and for the woman who is inclined
to muddle with her work it is the
only unsible plan.
Your Hands in
Winter
hands come is for a' good
deal of trouble in winter—-
uni-s you are careful. For
sham ad roughened heads are
one ot’the mate" of winter amic-
tlons.
Chopped hands are seldom painful,
and perhaps that is the reason we
are so apathetic about them. Many
women who are very careful about:
their personal appearance allow:
their hands to become chapped. .
For one thing, constant washing:
does much to chap the hands. rfi
the hands are left even slightly!
damp in cold weather they becane’
rough. So the women Who always:
as». her hands immaciflately cleanl
is lost the women who is subject "’l
chapping. .
The answer is, dry the hands care-l
fully and use some agreeable lotion:
to keep'the hands soft. This will;
probably be the only treatment nec.
essary. But if. in spite of this, the
hands get roughened; then wear
gloves at night. You can buy gloves
specially made for this purpoae. or
you can use loose cotton gloves.
Rub the hands gently with any
soothing cream or lotion—vsseline i<
as good as anything else-mud pull
the gloves on and wear them all
night. This treatment does wonders
for even the most roughened hands.
if your hands are sensitive to
cold, weer loose. warm gloves. If
you don't like the feeling of wool
next the skin, then wear a pair of
silk or kid gloves under woolen
cloves for very cold weather or else
wear fur-lined gloves.
