HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
BUSTING TOO MUCH
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

"I think she works too hard" says
Lutte of Dorinda in Joseph c. Lincoln
Rise of Roscoe Paine" Seems s II
sometimes IL had kind OF struck to her
brains-work, l mean. She don't think
of nothin' else Now take the dustin
for instance. Dustin's all right: l be-
lieve in dustin things. But / don't be-
That amt sense, Is 1t? And II amt
good religion, neither"
Isn't 1t fact that there are many
Dorindas whose minds seem to be too
much engrossed with the routine OF
housekeeping well intentioned house
wives who almost wear out their furni-
ture dusting 1t?
Dorinda in this book busted every room
every day and lifted every object from
its place as often as the sun rose and set,
or at least 1t would seem so from the
frequency with which she is mentioned
with dust cloth in hand. AS a matter OF
fact no housewife doing her own work
ought to spend more than a half an hour
day on busting. If 1t takes her long
er than that, to make the rounds, then
certain rooms ought to be busted but
every other day or once in three days.
One young bride started out with an
overdeveloped zeal for the dust cloth
and made a practice of busting so thor
oughly that even In the guest room that
was not used once in weeks she removed
the bureau scarf daily to dust beneath
it. Surely that kind Of busting 'ain't
good sense nor good religion, neith-
err"
Especially Objectionable is the zeal for
dusting or any other department of
housekeeping that obtrudes itself on the
members of the family till they are de-
pressed thereby. For after all dusting is
only process to make our surroundings
more attractive and cleaner, and II II
actually makes us uncomfortable II has
defeated its own purpose.
In the winter time when the windows
are not thrown wide open all the time the
question of keeping dust out is COM
paratively easy. OF course every room
that is used daily should be thor
oughly aired once a day, for just the
constant trickling of air through a part
ly open window does not thoroughly
change the air of the room. This gen.
eral airing process should be given be-
fore busting. and then time should be
allowed SO that all dust that has come
in from outdoors may have settled. The
windows should be slightly opened while
the busting Is in process. and 1t Is bet
ter always to dust with two cloths, one
moistened slightly with furniture oil or
water and the other one dry to use i'm
mediately after the moistened one, which
should thoroughly take up the dust with
out scattering it.

ARE YOU A DREss-REFoRMER,

Quietly, but none the less insistent-
ly, the spirit of protest against the
extravagances of modern dress has
been growing. The dress reform
movement, which we imagined prac-
tieally dormant for the last decade,
has been revived. To recommend it
especially to our serious considera-
ton the Federation of Women's Clubs.
has taken it up.
Before this, when the subject of
reform in woman's dress has been
mooted the greatest protest against
existing conditions has been based on
the plea for clothes that were more
hygienic-clothes that gave greater
freedom OF motion. The tight corset,
the skirt that was too long, or too
heavy or too narrow for comfort, col
lars that CONSTRUCTED the veins of the
neck and sleeves that were too large
or too tight were the details OF the
mode that called for greatest protest
1t was almost entirely matter of
health then.
Now the objection is based on eco
nomic considerations. 1t is not that
our clothes are unhealthy, for as a
matter of fact they are not. 1t is that
they are too expensive.
The women who are pressing the
matter say something like this:
Men can look better on far less
money than women, because the
styles for men are less frealIy than
arc those of women. Women should
be able to settle the matter of dress
as simply and economically as men
do. With the present system of shift
ing styles this is apparently impos-
sible. Women should get together
and do something about it. They
should protest, rebel, and even refuse
to have anything to do with the fash
ions that are extreme and fantastic" !"
For our own part, sensible and esti-
mable as are many of the women who
are agitating themselves over the
dress reform, we see very little ground
for all this fever on the subject.
The woman who wants to dress as
sensibly and as economically as men
do, can do so. And she doesn't have
to follow the footsteps of that in
teresting pioneer of all dress reform,
DR.. Mary Walker, either. There arc
professional women in this city, and
many of them, whose clothes prob
lens are quite as simply solved as
any mans could be. For them the
street suit costume worn with a shirt
waist answers all the needs that
mans business suit would; and the
conservative tailored costume, fire.

One Of my good friends lives next door
to her brothers home: She is very popu-
lar with her small nieces and nephews
and they are privileged to play in her
house and yard just as they are In their
own home. One day when / was her
guest last summer, the youngest boy,
little Joe. came over to play with his
Aunt Lila.
Aunt Lila" he asked, can dig a
hole in the wal; in the back yard?'
Yes, Joe, dear, you may" his Aunt
Lila told him, III you will promise to
fill it UP again and not go away and
leave it
IAN right-In fill 'er up when I'm
froo," said Joe. He marched into the
house and secured the kitchen shovel
for his digging operations.
Some half an hour later. his Aunt Lila
jumped up from her chair and threw
her sewing on table.
There goes that little rascal" she e1-
claimed. "and he Is leaving thas hole un-
filled"
l followed her out on the porch. There
was the pile of dirt in the middle of
the walk. shovel and bucket on the
ground beside it. and Joe pausing in the
open gate to answer his Aunt Lila's 8
call
Joe! Joe. ICme rlSHt DdCh mere ana
fill that hole. Didn't you promise Aunt
Lila that you would fill itT'
Yes, Aunt Lila, l did say so." Joe
admitted. but I've changed my mind
now
Come here to Aunt Lila, joe" his
aunt said.
Dragging his feet, the child came un-
willingly. Sitting down in a porch chair,
my friend drew the boy close to her side
and talked to him earnestly about-not
his broken promise, as I had expected,
but about his bad habit Of leaving his
tasks unfinished.
Little boys and girls, Joe, who get
into the habit of never finishing the
things they begin grow up to be such
poor business men and women that they
never amount to anything. II you go on
this way I am afraid you will be Just
like old Sam who comes around here
to get something to eat sometimes. Old
Sam used to be a carpenter, but he would
not work after he got tired. He said he
had changed his mind. too! And so 1t
got so bad that old Sam could not get
anybody to hire him after a while. Aunt
Lila would hate to see her boy Joe grow
into such a looking fellow as old Sam"
Joe looked thoughtfully. Presently he
slipped out of his Aunt Lila's encircling
arm.
"All right, Aunt Lila, I'll fill 'er up.
I don't think much Of old Sam myself"
After he had completed his task and
departed through the garden gate, his
Aunt Lila said to me:

brothers children. Their mother is q
