An elderly lady friend of mine complained to me when I visited her that her neighbour next-door was a poor house-keeper,her children were dirty,her house was filthy and one was almost disgraced by living near her.
"Just look," she said,"at those clothes she has hung out on the line.See the black streaks up and down those sheets and pillow-cases."
I stepped to the window,raised it,and looked out.
"It appears,my dear," I told her, " that the clothes are perfectly clean; but the streaks that you see are on your window that has not been cleant for long."
