Making Stencil Patterns.
When maki a stencil design it is
best to use the regular paper which
can be bought at any paint or art
shop. However. there are two good
substitutes if time can't be taken to
securo a stencil puper. You may use
a. heavy wrhpping paper and treat it
with either linseed. oil or just or.
dinary sewing machine oil. or you
may take cardboard and rub with It
was. These substitutes are so treat-
ed to prevent the paint from anaer-

Application of Paint
To obtain the best results point
should always be stirred to an even
and creamy consistency before and
during application. Plenty of energy
should be tried to brush the paint or
enamelold into the wood and to
spread the substance into thln. uni-
form coats.
The 'lloo High or Too Low Ceiling
If the 'ceilings of your rooms are
too high. they can, be made to ap-
pear lowor by decorating the walls.
up to about two or three'feet of the
ceiling. or'by using’flat tone paint on
the wellseither the same color as the
ceiling or a color combination.
Should the ceilings be too low. height
can be produced by finishinn them
in a flat tone paint considerably
lighter than the walls.
Cure of Brushes
To clean- brushes use benzine. gas-
oline or turpentine. Varnish and
enamel brushes should always be
cleaned in turpentine. and shellac
brushes in denatured alcohol. After
the brushes bavsbsed well cleaned
they should be washed in soft' water
and flanoap and dried with a cloth.
IOlec s'ara‘inod Effect
A splendid grained effect can easi-
ly and readily be Produced by apply-
ing a coat of grainlng preparation
directly. over the ground color. then
graining with a regular gralnlng
rollér or steel comb.

wiped oi! with a clean damp cloth
or sponge and polished briskly with
a dry cloth. This method not only
cleans bu‘l‘brlngs back the color and
gloss. .
Painting the Small Pieces.
“’hen painting furniture such as
chairs. small tables. stands and desks
(pieces small enough to‘ handle)
or any object not too large {0 move.
it is a good plan to always turn the
furniture upside down and paint the
logs first. This allows the upper
surface to remain dry until the last
and the piece can be handled easier.
Paint Radiators Same as
Bnckgmund. .
Don’t make the mistake of paint-
ing your furnace registers. radiators
or healing pipes in sharp contrast
to the background of your room (or
it breaks the general color scheme
and tends to make a room look ugly.
It is much better to do these fix-
tures in the some shade as the walls
and they are not easily perceived.
To Center mlor
If there are several pieces of fur-
niture and accessories in a room
which are of various colors. I]. touch
of harmony is easily Obtained by
having a stencil design on the walls
which brings in its make—up the difg
ferent colors. The stencil is made
more attractive by applying a coat
of velvet finish varnish after the
paiht has thoroughly dried.
Finish the Inside of Drawers
A coat of a velvet finish varnish
applied to the inside of drawers in-
sures ‘their being dust proof and
sanitary besides being attractive. An-
other method now in vogue is apply-
lng before varnishing a coat of flat
tone paint to the dl’awsrs of the
textile or desk ‘which is in harmony

In applying paint. enamelold or

with the grain of the wood. and never
apply one cont until the preceding
one is perfectly dry, Following care-

The bright clear colors of cnamolold

ly and at the same time present a
hard. firm surface that resists wear

Type of Wood for Foundation.
Birch. because of let fineness and
evenness of grain, is best for enamel
work. It is very hard and does not
dent or bruise readily. Whitewood.
poplar. white pine and well seasoned
gumwood comes next. Yellow pine
and cypress are not desirable because
of their relatively high pitch con-
tent.
New Exterior Finish.
An interesting discovery has ’ re-

Furniture that seriously needs
