divide tlio clothes In an orderly mariner.Tut the basket full of clothes upside

down on the ironing table, then set Iho

empty basket on the floor and line itwith a. clean towel.Take from the heap all the articles

which need but a few minutes' attentionand placo them together at ilio end of thotable. When the clothes aro divided thosecan bo Ironed at once nnd hung up to air.Put tho starched things to ono siete;

they aro to bo dealt with when every¬

thing clue is finished. Then put the night¬gowns in ono lille, the chemises In another,und so on.Do not waste time by trying to do the
