For Dusting Ceilings.

A novelty seen at a recent sale of fancy work was a broom cover to be used in dusting down walls and ceilings. It was made of linen, the shape of the broom itself, and was really an inverted bag when adjusted. After it was drawn over the broom shirr strings held it close where the handle joined the sprints. As it gwas made entirely of washables, braid and linen, it was very suitable for its purpose and an improvement in time and usefulness over the cloth which most housekeepers wind about a broom for the same office.
