FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Hoaarbold Claaallaeaa. (CONTINUED) All housekeepers worthy the name aspire to eleaulinesa without stopping to think that it is of three sorts—tra ditional, a-sthetic aud aaultsry. It may be remarked lu passing that the last of these three is the only one that bears any intimate relatiou to godli ness. Traditional cleanliness was the strong point of the old fashioned model house keeper. She directed her energies to ceaseless scrubbings and scourings, but was the sworn enemy of air and sun shine. She rejoiced in such abomina tions as feather beds, cotton stuffed coverlids, allover carpets aud shnllar homes for enterprising disease germa, and she canxl little about the location of the well provided it was handy for her persistent but misdirected cleans lug operations. -Esthetic cleanliness, as still prac ticed in nine bosses out of teat, is even more heedless of the laws of health. It was in deference to its demands that plumbers invented wood cased water pipes aud furniture dealers the fold ing lied und washing cabinet. All it demands is that whatever it fancies unsightly shall be covered up or put out of the way. Now, sanitary cleanliness—it might also be called real cleanliness in dis tinction from the other sorts—is a very different matter. It rests on the two great sciences of physiology aud bac teriology, cud it cannot be successfully secured without at least a rudimentary knowledge of the principles on which it is founded. The old fashioned house keeper hated dust because it looked untidy and provoked the adverse crit icism of her sex. Her granddaughter hates it because it excites pulmouary diseases or is likely jio contain stray germs inimical to health. The practi cal difference Iles in the fact that the scientific housekeeper will make war not only against the dust in sight, but against the dust which she merely sus pects of existing. She has seed through the microscope the secrets of air and water, and her standard for the purity of the household surroundings is raised by her knowledge of the invisible dan gers to health and comfort. tn the succeeding year or festivity It Is M iss Deiinorongii glanced aronnn me presumed that the names of "Debs” room and then went quietly np to the and ’ ’Desborough ’' were alike forgotten. unlidded coffin.
