This is from a series that is less well known than the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew, but aimed at younger readers.
It apparently sold fairly well in the 1920s-30s-40s.
From page 151:
"And Mother kissed her and said that people could do almost as they pleased on their birthdays and she thought it would be very nice for Honey Bunch and Eleanor to wear their new sweaters.
'I wonder if you'll have time to dust the hall table for me, Honey Bunch?" said Mother. 'I'd like the house to look tidy on your birthday. Be sure you dust the lower shelf, dearie.'
Honey Bunch loved to be useful, and she trotted downstairs and took the silk duster out of the bag in the back hall where it was always kept. Then she dusted off the top of gthe hall table very carefully and put the velvet runner exactly in the center.
Some little girls I know do not dust the lower shelves of the tables in their houses. They think that no one can see the dust there. But Honey Bunch was not like that."
