USE THE BELLOWS IN BUSTING

In caring for your bric-a-brac of fine
china or any pieces Of pottery, too DELI
cate tC endure much handling, dispense
alto gether with the ordinary buster OF
conan cree Many pieces Of china, c..
pecially rose bowls, beakers and vases,
are decorated in relief flower and leaf.
These will certainly break off II handled
with untutored fingers. Use tiny bel
lows to puff away the dust from these
telC er excrescences and from such cran
MES hide and hold the dust, being care
full not to bring the nozzle sharply
against the china. You will be sur
prised to see how clean the china can
be kept by following this method for
relief work and crevices. The rest OF
the piece can be wiped off with an old
soft silk handkerchief
The feather buster must not be
brought near the shelf where the china
is ranged. 1t may whisk off some pre-
cious piece and is of no use as a china
duster. The parlor china should not be
washed often, as the process is rather
dangerous, and the silk handkerchief
does nearly all that is necessary. For
other busting the squares Of cheesecloth
are acceptable The feather duster
should have long handle, for its proper
,lse is to whisk off the tops OF picture
frames and high parts of windows, and
inside blinds and the strips Of moulding
high up on the walls-in short, what
is inaccessible to the women busting
except with the aid OF step ladder.

You kissed me! My head dropped

Flashed up like flame from my

Something TO eat, something to

For more than that ought one to

Some place to work, some place to

For more than that ought one to

Some one to love for loves sweet

For more than that ought hearts to

Some place to rest when time to

For more than that ought one to

Some home to enter after death
For more than that do we waste

No breath to waste--yet waste we

Then all things else shall added be,
