The San Francisco Sunday Call
THE broom Is still an important
factor In the good housekeep
er's supply closet, and when
sweeping day arrives it is
faithful in chasing the dust and dirt.
.My little talk today is to the power
behind the broom. Work, regardless
of the fact that it Is exhausting, is
a natural and healthful outcome of
housekeeping: It can be made much
easier and decidedly less harmful
If the v.'err.an who wields the brush
be sensible and devote a little time
to the proper outfit for cleaning day.
In the Jirst place, a sensible sweep-
Ing dress should be owned by every
woman. Use material that will stand
a very necessary boiling after the
cleaning, and select a comfortable
eize that will not restrict the move
ments in any way. Short sleeves
and a short skirt should figure prom
inently in the cut of the garment,
while the soft collar will give neat
ness and comfort to the sweeper.
Now, dust is foreign matter, and has
no place in the openings of the body.
The ears should be protected and the
hair covered in euch a manner that the
particles of dirt should not be able
to lodge in each strand, destroying the
health and beauty.
ADVICE ON SOCIAL CUSTOMS
PRACTICAL JOKES
•y AST summer I had occasion to
\ meet a little woman from Ken
| J tucfay who was brought North to
a well-known hospital for an
operation. She was unable to sit up dur
ing the tedious trip; Inde?d, she caught
only a fleeting glimpse of the scenery by
raising her head, for her spine bad
been Injured by a practical Joker. Oh,
It was such a joke! He had cut the
hammock in which she was lying. , and
tie result was not what he had ex
pected. All his repentance will never
give to his victim h"er former strength
and enjoyment of good health, and I
doubt if she is even walking now.
It is the extreme case of what prac
tical jokes can do. As a rule, they are
never founded upon malicious or^ cruel'
intentions, but they always embarrass
the victims, and usually hurt some one.
There Js a class of practical jokes
that is played on innocent children,
vho. by their very inferiority of in
tellect, are unable to realize the joke
element. Older brothers and sisters, .
and. I regret to add. some parents."
consider it a great joke to scare, the
little ones. Please think of the.re
sults. A child Is a creature of imag
ination and little Judgment, and'
the fright In his mind cannot be
counterbalanced by arguing or ex
plaining afterward.
There is the practical joke which
come guests must- always". play, upon
a newly wedded couple. Besides be
ing absolutely vulgar., it \u25a0 is . a sign of
a lack of friendliness. Any auction
that increases the embarrassment and*
annoyance of the bride and groom
6hould be strictly forbidden at a wed
ding. From the stealing of the trunk;
"^| key to the kidnapping of the. groom,
I it is a long cry, but each is. an evi
dence of bad form. A wedding joker
should be crossed from your list or
friends.
A practical Joke has the enjoyment
on one «ide only. It is a selfish-dc

sire to put another unsuspecting per
son .in an embarrassing predicament.
It is a distorted idea of what consti
tutes fun or humor. It is a repre
hensible act that \u25a0 people, ought to
punish quickly and decidedly.
The jolly funmaker who insists
upon removing a chair from. a seated
person to secure the laugh has very
little; reliance- on his ability to at
tract attention In any valuable and
well-bred way. ' He should be treated
to a polite talk on the subject and
requested to call elsewhere. ,
There Js. always a lack of kindness
In a practical Joker!s motives. I
think that few- ever Twelgh the'sub
ject enough' to consider where these
outrages against' good sense might
end. But If they. .think not, then we
must think for 'them.- .., ""

and are most instructive. You can
buy them for a small sum of money at

be that by applying to a principal of

may borrow the, books you need. In

it would be permissible.

\u25a0 the. opposite 'eex?, •:.•".\u25a0 ir • r ANXIOUS. . '
1. Find out* in s Just: what -things he? is
N' interested." \u25a0, If ( you ' bring, up 1 the : subject
There Is a covering which Is nothing
but clever manipulation of a hug©
square of muslin. Fold back "a point and
place the double bias edge across tha
eyebrows, around the crown " and pin at
the back; That \ will give the remain
ing points of the • square at \ each side.
These'can then be tied under the chin.
Dust cannot possibly settle on the hair
or in the ears when this headdress is
worn. ", V
Large gloves protect the hands. They
must be -loose, to offer no interference
with- the free> and easy- play > of . the
muscles of the forearm. The hands. can
be kept soft and white, . even by one
who sweeps.: The object; Is to keep the
dust' from closing the pores and^from
drying the skin.
One of the most' harmful , and eaally
acquired habits of the sweeper _ls to
open the mouth -while" breathing. ' The
.mouth, you will remember, Is .for; the
passage of food only.. There are no fine
hairs In the membrane, as in \u25a0 the nose,
to siftthe particles of dust from the air.
It was never: meant ; for breathing pur
poses, and colds and throat troubles will
surely; result from mouth-breathing.
Dust must be kept out of the throat. A
bandage "of swiss or soft . muslin Is all
that you will require. It will pay, to
take this precautionary measure.
After the reign of the broom all nasal
passages sfiould. be .thoroughly cleansed
of the irritating particles of dust. £ A
weak solution of 'peroxide of hydrogen
or of salt and water ' Is within every
one's reach. The atomizer -is effectual
In this step. . A cleansing, with cold
cream, of the face that . has been ex
posed to I the dust is Important for the
healthy condition of the skin. I advise
a warm bath 1 for the entire body after
the work of the morning.
"Of course, I need not urge that-wln
dows should be open during;the sweep
ing hourl And that the final dusting
should be accomplished with a damp
cloth. ;
Here's health and comfort for the
woman behind the broom! , . _
I am sure he will start to talk, if he U
at all enthusiastic.
2. Most improper, and may cause ' the
man to lose his respect for you. A girl
cannot be too careful about her actions
when out with .young men.
3. It could' hardly be called Improper,
but it would be unnecessary.
4. If you want to be popular. dc» -not
strain a point to be so. Be natural at
all: times and treat all persons, with a
kind and courteous manner. Do not' be
deceitful. - - ' \u25a0 «\u25a0 \u25a0 i ••
5. Not- If: It^ means that you -have to
give up your, girl friends. . The friend
ship of girls who are . sincere at all
times is never to.be shunned.
