How to Renovnte Chairs.

To renovate willow or rattan chairs
that have become soiled with age and
use wash off every bit Of dust in all the
interstices and with soft, long haired
brush tint the entire surface with oak
green stain, sienna or sienna and van
dyke brown. This must be done with
great care so as to cover every particle
of the surface. This treatment Is suit
able for willow because 1t will take
stain, but rattan, which is less porous,
REQUIRES to be painted or enaneled.
Whether stain or paint is used, varnish
heightens the luster.
