hvvept remove the dust on the moldings

then pioceed to clean the btlc-n-brac.
"Suppose you nte lieanlnu a room

one gill of water, one ounce of com

"What about haul wood llnois"" was

Once n week Is often ennuch to use
the polishing biush, which should bo

The waxing needs to be done but twice
a vear. Then "a llnal polish may be
given bv putting a piece of brussels

polishing biush."
Doubtless, the questions would have
continued indellnltel.v , but at that min

and the housewife students gave that
