ag ,-X ' Q 4 45 J . 'alla -I CLEAN-UP TIME Humph! I suppose if I must clean my room, I must although I can't see why Mom is so insistent. I'll admit that the room isn't too neatg it just looks as though it were well-lived in. Personally, I don't see the need of touching anything. I guess t-he best place to start is my desk. I may as well put this chemistry book on the bottom shelfg 1'll never look at it again. What's this? My pen! 1've practically haunted the school office hunting for it, never even suspecting that it might be up here.-For goodness' sake, here is a piece of ribbon from the corsage I had for the play 5 I certainly don't want to throw that away. I don't think there is any need of keeping these old English papers, so I'l1 throw them out. What's this in the waste-basket? A newspaper picture of the '47 Track Team. Who t-hrew that away? 'I most certainly want it. Mother says there is no need of all these pictures on the desk, especially as they are all of the same person. She says I can't concentrate with them there. W-hat a silly idea! I guess I'll leave them. Here are a lot of old letters that were written to me while I was at camp three summers ago. I may as well save themg they will be funny when I am older- I should say my desk is all right, nowg at least one can see the blotter! 1'll just take this quilt, my puff, the bedspread the dog sleeps on whenever she spends the night on the foot of my bed, my reading pillow, my bed-jacket, and these Hallowe'en decorations off the chair. Someone. might want to sit down on it sometime. I'1l admit that up to now it has been impossible. 22

Now for the night table. I suppose that it is about time to 'take down the little Christmas tree that is standing on it. It's only January 14th- I could leave it there for a few more da.ys-No, I think it would be better if I take it away now. Huh! I didn't know my little Panda was behind the tree. I'm glad I found it: I've had that Panda ever since I was a little girl and I wouldn't want to lose it. Oh-oh, my bureau! I wonder what this box is here on top? There's nothing in it-no sense in keeping it, I gues-s. Wait a minuteg that is the box my bracelet came in. I'll have to keep it, just for memories. I suppose I should clean my jewelry boxg I might want to find some jewelry in a hurry some day. Here's a pin Dad got for me at a hockey game one winter: it won't do any harm to keep it. What is my good string of pearls that Wawie gave me doing in here? They should be in their own box. Oh, here's the pin Barb gave me when I was a little girl. It's not very valuable, but I guess I'll keep it. What a homely pair of earrings! Wou!dn't you know that they are what my relatives would pick out for me? This is rather tiresome. It won't hurt me to hunt around a little when I come to get some jewelry. Here is a star from the decorations at one of our socials at school last year-or was it two years ago? I'll keep it. and sometime when I have some Scotch tape I'll put it up on the wall. Well, what do you know! Here is the scarf that Mom has been looking for. Who would have thought that it would be in my room, on my bureau? Here is the little lamp Hash-light that Dad was going to fix for me to take to camp. It still doesn't work, so I guess that he never got around to it. I'll just flick the dust-cloth over the top, so that I can say that I dusted it, and put the things back. Now for my dressing-ta-ble, and then I'm through. I'll give this pin back to Motherg I didn't need to use it for a Christmas gift after all. I don't want it cluttering up my table. Phew, w-hat terriible smelling per- fume! Oh, I know: it is the two perfumes that Dad mixed together for an experiment. I guess I won't throw it awayg it may smell better as time goes on. I don'-t see why I insist on keeping all these bottle-s of cheap perfume: still, thev make the dressing-table look better. I think I'll keep them a little while longer. I never noticed this lip-stick on here before. It's my pink one, that I lost. Oh darn. it is only the top of the tube! I still sav the dog ate the rest of it. I don't like these powder boxes because they spill powder all over everything. This mirror top really should be washed off 3 but I don't -have time, so I'll just dust it. I don't think there is any need of cleaning off the stool to the table. T told Mom that I would put these summer things away for the winter, but the winter is almost over now. There isn'-t very much anyway-'two cotton dresses, shorts, a couple of shirts, a few scarves, a crew hat, and a bathing suit. Well, at last I'm through! I will admit that the room looks neater, but I think that it lacks character. ASTRID BRIDLE, '50. 23
