Realizing that I McNeely and- Master Robert Lomax.
Springtime is with us—in other
words the time of houseileaning. the
time when one finds out what is n
one’s drawers and what has gotten
lucked away n one’s closet and cup-
boards and floryholes during the War
Women who so arrange their work
tturt ftiey never have to do any spe-
cial cleaning fthey really do exist for
I know of one or two. - Yeg. as you
suspected they Hye in small houses
and have no families to speak of
avoid the difficulties of the honse-
cleaninK season but they Also miss
that pleasant excitement of re-discov-
ering one's possessions. We have al-
ready retrieved a missing part of the
Ice-cream freezer and a collar that has
ben hiding on me for some months
Housecleanlnu Is io Domestic Stock-
Taking.
Housecleahing has its f^ilts but it is
a kind of domestic sto^Ftaking, and
as such has ts place n the scheme of
Hings. Which brings me to the ana'o-
ay i want to draw. Why would'! the
spring also be a eood time for a stock
taking in character?
In a most interesting book for “the
ambitious woman hi business” the au-
thor includes a self analysis chart
which employers present to their em-
ployes. The latter are supposed to
mark themselves in the various sub-
jects and then to mark themselves
again a year later
Everything From Che»rfulncss
Neatness.
It would be impossible to give the
list of subjects here because there are
so many. But here are a few- just te
give you an idea: Strength, Endur-
ance, thoroughness, order, enthus-
iasm, cheerfulness, sympathy, cheer-
fulness. sympathy, patience, honesty,
executive ability, neatness in work,
dress and person, etc.
A personal stock taking would in-
clude self questioning as. to whether
one had formed any new wood habits?
Any bad ones? One’s worst faults-
have they been overcome at all? Has
one added any valuable new interests
to take.the place of those one inevit-
ably loses? To what faults does one
need to give special attention, in the
coming year (I have decided that wha'
1 most need is patience—th quiet
strength to wait w hen waiting "is nec-
cessary and not become irritable or
nervous and 1 hope a year from today
will find me with more of it).
Steering Not Drifting.
Stock taking and acting upon what
one finds is trj ing- to steer tne ship
of life instead of just letting it drift
