of this city and signed by Prince

HOW TO DUST A Room.


Many careful housekeepers COM
plain at the accumulation OF dust on
the smaller articles in their rooms.
Despite the fact that they dust every
day there seems TO be an increased
amount.
They would probably be offended
at the insinuation that they had nos
conquered the art of busting.
The mere fiicking of objects with a
feather duster is not sufficient. If the
windows are closed this results only
in shifting the dust from one part OF
the room to the other.
A cheese-cloth duster is the most
suitable one for this purpose. for il
holds the dust once it is gathered up
Every bit Of furniture in the room
should be gone over. particularly tho
obscure out Of the-way corners
around the woodwork.
All small articles should be remov-
ed from the places where they stood
and the places where they rested dust
60. instead of wiping around them.
To dust the walls and ceilings, tbs
head of the broom should be covered
with canton flannel and used as Z
mop.
The cloth with which furniture i.
busted should be dipped in water &C
which a little kerosene has been add
ed. This will impart an added polisl
