TROPICAL HINTS
FOR AMERICAN
HOUSEKEEPERS

American housekeepers will find it
much easier to keep their rooms clean
and bright and free from dust If they
follow the tropical plan OF polishing
floors with beeswax rubbed on with q
cocoanut husk instead of covering
them up with carpets. 1t goes with
out saying that 1t is easier to sweep
q polished floor than a carpet, and the
former is much healthier. because 1t
does not collect the dust and dirt like
a carpet. Perhaps an absolutely bare
floor, however. beautifully polished
does not look well to eyes unac-
customed to it: therefore it would he
advisable for the American house
keeper to place small rug in front of
the couch and another in front OF the
fireplace to break the monotony Of
the glistening surface. On the mir
rorlike floor they would have a strik-
ing and beautiful effect. far surprising
that OF even the best carpets in the
market.
This receipt for saving dust and
labor is only one Of many useful hints
which the American woman may pick
