Why Women Dress Well.

Mrs. Jennoss Miller's ideas on the sub
ject are that women are interested in dress
very largely from desire to please, and
doubtedly true that they desire to please
men. but there is large class who dress
well from desire to create envy among
women. Women of very sensitive refine
ment take more pleasure out of daintiness
next to the skin than outside, while others,
because of the admiration excited by dis
pay, prefer the later.
l do not think that it is possible to state
how marriage affects woman's love for
dress. Circumstances generally control
that. If great many cares press upon a
woman she is apt to become careless for
that alone, and in the certainty that she is
married and therefore placed beyond the
question of how to win a husband by the
coquetries of dress added to other charms.
Too few women realize that husbands
levei is often easily lost by the neglect to be
as attractive as before marriage. There
are, however, conspicuous exceptions of
women who dress more carefully than ever
to please their husbands, but they are the
wise women of the world.
Very few women permit men to dictate
in matters of dress, whether husbands or
lovers. think that there are many women
who would desire to be daintily dressed if
no one ever saw them, but the great masses
would fall into carelessness without the
incentive of public approval. And in re-
gard to dress reform, women enter upon il
for two reasons, TO be attractive and u
gain health, the number being ABOUT equGa
for both. This work is growing tremen-
dously, and tits the very ultra fashionables
that are taking hold of it. They are be-
coming convinced that the long lines,
which Suggest without closely defining
the figure" lend charm TO many otherwise
women,

How to Dust a Room.

''The feather duster is an abomination,"
writes Christiania Terhune Herrick in a
recent number Of The Housewife. In the
hands of careless housemaid the feather
buster is firted among the furniture, up
about the picture frames, down amid the
chain rungs, into hooks and corners,
scattering the dust everywhere, brushing
the impalpable powder from onesspot and
driving it into another, until, when the
maid retires from her labors, all the dust
in the room has changed its place, while
but little of it has been permanently re-
moved.
There should be method in busting and
it should be closely followed. First Of all
the carpet should be brushed. A thorough
sweeping may not be necessary every day,
but in most living rooms there is daily need
Of carpet sweeper CT dust pan and brush,
often of all three. The carpet sweeper is
admirable for taking up the dirt in the mid
die of the room, but it Is practically useless
in the corners. Every housekeeper should
have one of the dust pans that can be hello
in place by the foot. The gain in comfort
is immeasurable 10 the woman who has
been accustomed to bend herself double
when she wished to brush up the fluff that
she had gathered together with her broom
The highest places Of the room should
next receive attention, the cornices, cur
tain poles, ETC. A Turks head brush is in
valuable here and is easily improvised by
tying cloth or towel around feather
duster and attaching this to the end of a
pole long enough 10 enable one to touch the
ceiling with the brush.
For the other parts Of the room a cloth
must be used. Old silk handkerchiefs
make excellent busters, but even they are
not superior to those of cheese cloth, ,,and
these should Dot be too large. A buster
yard long by half yard wide is big enough
for all ordinary purposes. Cheese cloth is
so cheap that there is no reason why every
family should not be provided with a gen
erous supply of busters.
They must be hemmed, of course, and
may be finished with pretty feather
stitching of bright marking cotton. Such
busters will 60 into all the hooks and cor
ners, gathering up the dust and retaining
it. They should be shaken after using and
washed frequently. 1t is tedious business
busting the modern parlor. Filled with
bric-a- brac, adorned with hangings over
doors, windows and mantles, ornamented
with bits of drapery flung over easels and
picture frames, it presents discouraging
aspect to the busy housewife.
One must pay for having pretty and
artistic surroundings, but, as long as the
dust-gathering agencies are kept out of
sleeping rooms little harm is done. Every
thing should be moved in busting There
should be no dusty rims left around orna-
ments to show how the cloth skinned
around them without touching them. Such
carelessness should be watched for in the
housemaid, whose study often is to slight
skillfully instead of to perform thoroughly
her task
For busting tufted furniture, nothing is
better than an ordinary house painting

acquitted themselves with credit. Tho
