The Dusty Housekeeper

The modern housekeeper sweeps her carpet with closed doors and dry broom; this transfers the dust from the carpet to the furniture and pictures. When the dust has fully settled it is “dusted off” with a dry cloth or a bunch of feathers; this sends the dust back to the carpet. The doors are then thrown open, for the parlor is now sweet and clean.—Current.
