How To Dust A Room

The proper way to dust a room, says a writer in the New York Mail and Express, is to begin withthe walls. Pui several thicknesses of cloth over a broom and sweep the walls down thoroughly, leaving at the same timo all the doors and windows open. This matter of s weeping the walls is important and shoula be dono once a week in rooms that are much used. Then with a damp cloth wipe off the picture corda and wires, the backs of all the picture-frames, and the tops of the door and window frames. If there is any danger of iniurrhg pictures or frames with a damp cloth use a day one, but wipe them all off carefully. As often as you can pet a good draft which willcarry away the dust out of the window, shake and beat the curtains, whether they be Holland, lace, scrim, or what not, for they are prime sinners in the matter of harboring dust. The window - sa.sh, sül, and glass - should also receive attention, Use a large cloth, with half of it well dampened fordusting, the dry end bein useful to wipe oft sniall articles that mightbeinjured by dampness - and be careful that you manipúlate the cloth so as to wipe the dust into it and keep it there. If it gets dirty have a clean one, and alwaya wash them out andscaldthem after using. If there are inside shutters to the windows they need to be carecí for alraost as tenderly as a baby. A thorough cleanin every week, carefully wipina both upper andunder siilo.s of the slats, is the only thing that will keep tRem in decent order.
