Tidiness

Tidiness means keeping things out of sight and yet available when wanted. It implies that there is a 21 for everything and that each thing used finds its way 22 to its place by a continuos process, not by a spasmodic 23 . The process depends, however, upon the drawer, cupboard and storage 24 being provided, for lack of which one things may literally have 25 place to go. Like the perambulator and trolley, the luggage and the golfclubs 26 be homeless. The same may be true of the deck-chairs 27 the bulkier plastic toys. As there is no place for them, it is no 28 telling people to put them away. The architect who thus economises on 29 space is apt to claim that a good-sized sitting-room is 30 result. What advantage is there in that, however, 31 half the living-room has to be used for storage? The aesthetic 32 depends, in turn, upon storage space. 33 it may be true that no house ever had cupboards enough, 34 are some houses which have practically no cupboards 35 all. In these our choice must lie between chronic 36 and ruthless destruction. That is not to say, however, 37 cupboard space will itself create tidiness. Some people 38 happier, it would seem, in chaos. There is the question, furthermore, 39 the cupboards themselves are tidy. That 40 has been swept out of sight is no proof, in itself, that everything can be found.
