from distance Of five to six feet by
properly active methods. This is
easily seen to be a great advance over
the blowing process common to anna
tours of more lung power than dill
gence. 1t is also far more sporting
than the oiled-cloth system which
feminine busters favor, because the
latter course gives the dust absolutely
no loophole of escape, whereas the
method first advocated permits it to
settle, perchance, in comparatively
safe spot until the attack is ADAM
doned.
Times and seasons have also to be
considered, as well as the choice of
weapons. Sunday afternoon, when
visitors are upon the doorstep, is
popular time, although some persons
dislike the hasty retreat involved. A
few general rules may be further APP
piled to local conditions, such as:
% Never dust with sunshine or any
bright light in the room. Shades
should be drawn down to half-mast, for
the resulting charitable illumination
excludes chair legs and the piano top
and avoids the necessity of disturb
ing movable objects Furthermore, if
the furniture is restored to an attitude
of responsibility and the cushions
punched up a bit, your room will look
quite shipshape, t2) For a really
drastic emergency other means may be
employed. These are, briefly. the coat
sleeve, the sofa pillow the babys
shirt or other garment. all of which
will give modest satisfaction without
betrayal. (3) AS to specialized OBJ
jects. wooden chairs may be adequate
ly busted by being sat upon. For piano
benches and stools extend the action
sidewise. Mirrors, pictures, etc,
should be regarded as sacred ground
and left severely untouched. 1t is
also unwse to make use while busting
OF doilies or small telltale pieces OF
fancy work, since women are known
to be strangely sensitive about thcs
objects, and you can't get away with
it,
He who observes the above conVen-
tons may live long and safely indulge
his occasional penchant for cleanins
up. But the unwary wight is in grave
danger from the moment he seizes the
nearest table napkin ana dashes at
Uncle Horaces majolica pitcher on the
mantelpiece. He would do far better
to eschew all dust, busters, busting
and to leave to mere temperamental
spirits their own peculiar joys-and
sorrows.-Philadelph Public Ledger.

Dear Aunt MadGe and all the Clan:
It came over me to-day that it would
soon be time for another reunion. and
I wondered if some of us would not
feel ashamed to so OF we rot a
chance). l feel rather guilty of
neelectinE my duty but what is the
use of making excuses. for l shall do
the same thing over again and again.
Who among us is not enjoying the
summer after last winter? 1t seems
to me it is the best summer we ever
had.
Have been to see Grandma Disable
twice lately, and 0et me whisper it,
she has taken to going to dances. She
goes to see the folks and hear the
music, and we enjoy having her with
us. l tried to get her to write let
ter for the column, and she said her
letters We're too fiat. Now if her let
tiers are fiat, mine are surely "hatter.'
Come. Jennie, where are you? What
is your newest color scheme? Please
write.
Uncle Mark just drove by with his
CHEEKY greeting. Saw Aunt Maria a
short time ago.
1 suppose some have begun to can
for next winter but l have not yet.
Our garden is very late this year, and
strawberries are very scarce here.
My youngest daughter is home from
Massachusetts for her vacation, and
next week | expect the other one from
Bucksport, so all l shall do is talk,
Aunt Mary's John, why don't you
make another odd quilt ana nave ali
of the NJ. BIS help you by sending you
pieces? l have one in which the
squares" are siX-sided. Want me to
send you the pattern? Remember
there is another winter ahead.
There comes that waste basket so
good bye all.

Like many another-inventor,
