WOMAN'S WORLD.


All IN exhibition Of pictures by a lead
ing artist, given some time ago, the very
effective and inexpensive method OF franz
ing attracted the notice of the writer, ana
mas since been tried at home with very
satisfactory results. The pictures of the
collection were in oils, but any picture
which does not require a glass may be
framed In the same way.
The body Of Inc frame was Of wood,
cut and nicely Joined by a carpenter The
wood was simply a plain board, without
fancy edge or moulding, and about one
half inch in thickness. The important
reanisite is that it be well seasoned, as
otherwise 1t will shrink or warp and sep
arate at the corners. The width OF the
frame varied, Of course, with the size OF
the picture. a small picture having a
frame one inch in width. while a very
large one would require perhaps a 4-inch
frame.
Some Of the frames were of planned wood
and others were Of rough or unplaned
surface. and the latter We're really the
more effective. If one had several pic
lures to frame, however, it would be bet
ter to have some of each sort.
After the frame has been made by the
carpenter or cabinet maker. it is to be
silded with one Of the various colored
bronzes which come put up for such pur-
poses. With this several frames may be
covered at very slight expense. and that,
Of course, is the object of the homemade
frames. These bronzes come in three
shades and in silver. You must deter
mine which will look best for the p~articu-
lar picture to be framed.
The best method for applying the
bronze is to cover the wood with a coat
of the preparation or varnish.which comes
prepared for use with the powder. and
when it is s'tacky', dust the powder over
ii and pat with a brush or pad of soft
cloth. This method is more apt to prove
smooth and permanent than that of mix
ing the powder with the liquid and put
ting on with a brush as you would apply
paint, though the latter is the method
most often employed. When the gliding
is thoroughly set" the picture is ready
to be framed and hung, and the result
will surely prove satisfactory if the frame
has been nicely Joined.
So many of the magazines and the illus
trated weeklies have pictures that are
really artistic and well worthy a place
iJDI me HdilS that We DllcIf t6t4 WOQid
assign them such a position were it not
for the expense of framing. In order to
make the frame just described answer
the purpose for pictures of this sort, it
will be necessary to paste the picture
very smoothly and carefully to a piece of
stout cord. and, when dry, tack to the
frame ct the back, or else paste the edge
OF the picture, or rather the margin aelt
around sNe picture. % Inc paeA OF 'he
