WORK ~ BURNT WOOD.
An Art which Many Women Like and In
Which Some Find Profit.

Burnt wood work has become a practical
calling and offers good business returns.
1t is taught at the trade sch ools and by
many private masters, and young women
who have applied themselves to 1t systematic
cally are utilizing their accomplishment
with profit.
Even shops which do not deal in the usual
artists supplies keep outfits for burning
on wood, furnish text books to beginners
and give initiatorv lessons at nominal cost.
An enormous number of plain, unstamped
models are furnished for workers. who plan
out their own decorations and equally as
many ready-traced for novices to try upon.
The craft has won popularityin an amazingly
short time, and daily new ideas as to the
form and manner Of its employment are be-
ing dcc.cnat
Amateurs who have attained proficiency
in the work are d. "orating wooden salad

are other seasonablc models. Also the
sewing tables with drawers and HAMPERS
attn ched after the Swiss pattern. These
are done in natural wood tints. Pipe racks,
Thermometer mounts, screens, easels. photo
graph frames and desk essentials are models
which admit of great variety Of DECORATION.
So are shaving glasses. hat racks and wall
ornaments
Four dollars will buy supply of the
platinum needles and points and the heat
ing apparatus Outfits Of superior grade
and intrcacy cost much more, hut pro-
fciency in the art depends more upon the
patience and persistence of the worker
than the tools she works with. First. tho
outline work Ia mastered and then the
shading is undertaken. much a. penman

burning on wood is acquired rapidly, once

from its artistic interest the work has
substance and lastingness about it that

moved from the table. When several piles
have been removed and all the cards have
been used from the pack and the game is
not finished. the removed cards are shuffled
and dealt out again to continue the game.
The piles built up in the middle of the table
are TO play on and not from: the player
may not draw the card he wants from these
piles
This is the explanation Of the reserve:
When a player can no longer play he lays
down card, face up, in front Of him. and
the next player TO the left proceeds to play.
These cards are the reserve" and arc
placed side by side until there are FIVE.
after which others are placed on top OF
any one of the five chosen. In playing
from the reserve" only the top cards may
he played. and it Is not allowable 10 look
at those beneath.
When "reserve" pile is exhuuxted its
place mus. be filed with the next reserve
card laid down 10 make up the full number
(fjye) of reserve" piles. Cards must not
be removed from one reserve" pile to
another
SO much for the playing rules. The
object of the game. as may have been c,illed
, from the instructions. is to get rid OF tho
finch pile, and whoever first succeeds wins
the game To this end the finch pile must
| hn played from whenever possible. when
this is not done. the opponent will call
-finoh, and the player will have to draw
card from the opponents finch pie ana
place " on lne DOttOfIl Ol NlS OWL. S'iH
two or more of the opponents call finch
at the same time, the negligent player must
draw n card from the pack
The game may he played by any num-
Dor from two to eight After shuftling, the
entire pack is usually stacked up criss-cross
into hands of five. to facilitate drawing new
hands. The game is named not from the
verb 10 finch. although "to fail in doing or
per4evering" is the cause of passing tho
pay, but in honor OF it's inventor, who
lives in Kalamazoo, Mich, the city oil
celery" -The science Of the game ac-
cording to Mr.. Finch. rests in so managing
the reserve as to aid yourself in getting rid
of your finch pile and in hindering your
opponents from doing the same. Keep
track of the cards buried in your reserve;
without referring to them. however, and
do not play them out except to benefit your
self or hinder your opponents. but rather
keep them until you may he benefited by
PLAYING than. Never miss a chance TO
head of an opponent from playing finch
card"
Partners have the liberty Of playing
from a partners finch pile and from his
reserve In partners Won first play from
YOUR finch pile. then from your partners
finch pile, then from anywhere you can.
