Unpack boxes, bags and trunks, air the
contents and brush out the receptacles.
After sorting the contents, laying out those

Now close the door and begin on the room

hall or another room, if possible, and take
up the carpet from which the tacks may
have been taken the previous day by fold

been used underneath, remove it carefully
to the waste barrel and sprinkle the floor
before sweeping OF course the floor will
not look as well as if swept dry, but much
dust will be prevented, which is far more
important than looks, and the floor must be
mopped later on, anyway. Where papers
are used under n carpet most of the dust

Meanwhile the furniture may be put il
