If none of the family rooms are vacated when you have finished your breakfast, brush down the stairs and do up your own room; otherwise put all the family rooms to air, ending with guest room so that you can go right on with that room and finish it first. When beginning a room draw back the curtains, pull the shades up to the top, open the windows top and bottom. Open closet doors and keep them open while room airs so that they won’t get stuffy. Shake pillows and put them near the window, but so they won’t show from the street. Put two chairs at foot of bed, draw blankets and sheets over them, turn the mattress over the foot of the bed so that the air can go over and under it. Put soiled clothing in bag or basket provided for it. Hang or fold and put away clothing or dresses. If there has been a coal fire remove ashes, make fire up ready to light, wipe hearth; if a wood fire, leave the ashes. Empty slops, if there is a wash-basin in the room, clean bathroom, washing tub and basin with hot water and soap or a cleanser, such as Dutch Cleanser, and dry them with a soft cloth. Wash out soap-dish and other crockery and always see that there is soap in the dish. Wash bowl of w.c. with a stiff brush that comes for the purpose. Dust chair and woodwork and see that there are no spots on the mirror. Remove soiled towels putting clean ones in their place. Take great care not to let anything go down the pipes that would clog them. The bed having now had a chance to air, turn mattress over and make up bed. If there are any scraps on the carpet, brush them up with dust pan and brush or carpet sweeper. Dust furniture. Empty scrap basket and put contents in bag to carry downstairs. Shut windows, draw shades down half-way, and arrange curtains to hang smooth; then go to next room. After the bedrooms are finished, begin the special weekly morning work for that day, sweeping rooms or cleaning bedrooms, silver, or brasses, or whatever it may be. After the morning work is over, make yourself neat and be ready to assist at lunch table, if there are guests, or to go to the front door while waitress is serving lunch or dressing for the afternoon or is out or serving dinner. In arranging the rooms for the night, first close the blinds, if desired, then draw down the shades, put soiled clothes in hamper, hanging up clothing in closets, putting back in its place anything that has been disarranged and leaving the room in order. If there is a washstand in the room, remove waste water and fill pitchers. If night pillows are used, remove day pillows and shams; if same pillows as day, take off shams, fold them carefully in their creases, and lay them where they will not get tumbled. Remove bedspread, fold smooth. Open bed-clothing, turning down the corner on one side, for one person or on both sides for two. Lay night-clothes neatly folded on the turned-down corner, placing wrapper at the foot with slippers by it.
