apartment more than once a week II the

brushing up every day, using the carpet
sweeper, will remove all Incidental rubbish

No room can be W ell swept with the fur

should be busted and set In an adjoining
room, W whcre IL will be safe until the room

the stuffed chairs are an aid. After clear

the walls, scatter about q little damp
salt. and begin sweeping at one corner OF
the room. taking short strok es and brushing
toward the center. OF the room.
Remove all dust from the outside blinds

wife, IL they could get her cheap, to
take part in the races. The first prize

great JOY of the bride, for they had long
loved each other, but from poverty had
been unable to marry. The widow, how
ever, was less fortunate, for she fell to
the share of an elderly married man with

is determined to have her none the less,

table expeditiously, for it is really
an art. Teachitto your servants the

them in pan and pour boiling water over
them. Then gather up the cups, saucers
and small dishes, piling them neatly after
emptying the contents. Next~take the
plates, removing all remains of food from
them with bits Of waste bread. Lastly
carry out the glassware, which should
be washed Immediately after the silver, and
in clean, clear, warm water. Insist that
the dishes be washed In clear, hot water,
without soap, and rinsed in hot water II
the water is not hot the grease will adhere
to the china, and it will not come out bright
and shining. Soap can be used for the
kitchen utensils. 1t is not necessary for
any of the other dishes. however.
