The Dining Table.

The care of the dining room table
is very simple. Once a week rub
hard with a soft flannel moistened
with paraffin oil and turpentine,
then with piece OF soft, old linen.
Let it rest for an hour, then rub
hard with piece of chamois or
clean, old linen. Give it a daily
rubbing with chamois or linen.
White spots on a table can often be
removed by rubbing with kerosene.
If the spots are very deep, rub gen.
tly and rapidly with linseed oil and
powdered rottenstone. Do not use
great pressure, and be sure not to
let the powder get dry.-Ladies'
Home journal.
