From Library Journal What do you need to know in order to keep house and also keep your sanity? How to find a home? How to furnish it? How to clean it? How to store stuff? How to do laundry? How to give a party? Look no further! Mary Ellen， of "Helpful Hints" fame， has put it all together in this survival manual. Here is all the information your mother never taught you or that she tried to teach you while you weren't paying attention. Comparable in subject but not in scope to Heloise from A to Z ( LJ 5/15/92)， Mary Ellen's Clean House! is a comprehensive encylopedia， while Heloise's work is merely a collection of loosely related suggestions. Both titles would have benefited from an index， but Mary Ellen's arrangement is easier to use. Highly recommended for public libraries.- Susan B. Hagloch， Tuscarawas Cty.
