Furniture Stains.

A knowledge of how to make and apply
furniture stains and varnishes is valuable
to young housekeeper whose income is
limited. for with slight practice it is ofen
possible to make artistic pieces of furni-
ture out of plain white wood chairs,
tables. etc
For instance, inexpensive settees with
out varnish or color may be stained with
mahogany in several different shades In
making dark coloring a half pound Of
madden and two ounces OF logwood chips
should be boiled gently for an hour in
gallon o. water. This should then be
strained and applied to the wood while
hot. 1t should be put on evenly with a
nat brush. The finish requires pearl ash
solution that is made by putting two
drains of the ash into quart of water
This is not applied until the stained
wood is dry
For light shade two ounces of bruised
dragons blood is put into bottle with d
quart of turpentine. The jar is corked
ana placed in a warm spot. near or on a
radlator. is shaken occasionally until the
blood is dissolved and then applied with
brush
The other mahogany stain is apt to be
understood best by those who know some
thing of mixing colors. Raw sienna is
ground and then mixed with beer. thus
making a light shade.
Then burnt sienna that has been ground
is added in proportion to the tint wished
and put on rather thin. with a soft brush.
WipnS it over Immediately with a piece
OF cotton or other soft substance.
When quite dry the surface may be
oiled or vanished Cold drawn linseed
oil is a good varnish or polisher.
Stain for New Furniture.-To stain a
new piece of furniture is simple work for
an amateur. but success is not so certain
when an old chair or table is to be reno
waited. However. doing over an old piece
would not be difficult if it were under
stood that the wood will not take new
stain until all the oil varnish, whatever
It may be. is removed.
The easiest way of getting off the old
sal soda. that is as much soda as can be
dissolved in water. With a stiff scrub
brush this liquid should be applied while
hot. or it will eat off the surface coat. A
stiff scrub brush is best for putting it on
with.
Then the article must be allowed TO dry
before the new finish is applied.

STARVING CHILDREN.
Story of Family in Georgetown Re
lated IN Associated Charities,

The story of woman and her two
children dying by inches because OF the
neglect of her drunken husband was told
Yesterday afternoon to the Georgetown
district of the Associated Charities.
feature that heightens the pathos of the
case is the fact alleged that the husband s
people are we'll to do. but refuse to al
leviate the family's suffering in any way.
The agent who told the story said two
little girls. the children of the couple,
are literally starving to death. The wo-
man, who is thrifty and wants to be in
dependent, asked for help if she would be
allowed to pay for it in work or in some
other way when she gets the money.
While some aid is being extended to
the family by the Citizens Relief Society,
the Associated Charities are trying to de-
wise a plan whereby the two children shall
be put in a home until the woman finds
some employment. For the past few
years. 1t is stated. the husband has aver
aged ten months out of every twelve in
the workhOuSe.
Charles F. Weller. general secretary Of
the Associated Charities, when told of
the case today said:
Il am not surprised to hear of it. The
sufferings among the poor of Washington
at this time are truly lamentable. While
we are trying to do all that We can for
their relief. our activities are limited in
great degree by the funds that We have
at our command.
"Our funds are scarce. We need money.
and we need 1t badly. 1t seems to me that
the money will begin to come in more
freely when people realize more fully that
some of their neighbors are literally dying
by starvation and cold.

HALL FURNISHINGS.
Pretty Fittings Make Dark Hall
Cozy as Sitting Room.

Housekeepers should be more particular
about the way they furnish their halls.
for stranger coming to the house for the
first time takes all impression OF the
whole place and the people who live in it
from the hall into which he or she goes.
In this room there should be warmth and
comfort in winter and an effect of space
and GOODNESS in summer Both of these
are to be had with square dimensions.
When there is enough room in the hall
table in the center for books and a
reading lamp should be part of the fur
nishingS. Large chairs of mission or will
low are best adapted to this and they
should be close to the light. \ seat built
in along a part of the wall costs little and
is effective. and there should he couple
of straight back chairs that can be moved
about when needed.
Nothing gives a greater idea of large
ness in even small, square hall than to
have the stairs at one side, toward the
back, so they impart the idea of perspec-
tive. AS to the position OF the stairs. in
stead of facing the door-that is. heading
away from the entrance-much more
artistic lines are gained by having them
so that the balustrade faces that way
giving broad. simple effect from one
side. If the stairs must directly face the
door there should certainly be a SMALL
square landing by the fourth or fifth STEP
and the steps turned at right angles for
the rest of the way. Cheap grill work
should be abolished. 1t is not ornamental
and it cuts down the look Of space when
the dimensions are small.
a decorative feature In such a hall is
one o. more square windows. with small.
diamond panes. the windows being set
high. These admit light and at the same
time are distinctly suited to a hall rather
than to a room. Such window has al
ways wide ledge. and this, holding a
row of geraniums during the winter
months. becomes a pretty and striking
bit of decoration.
Every one knows that an open fireplace
is the greatest possible addition TO hall.
and yet to have ii is not within the pos
sibilities of every person. An excellent
substitute is a reproduction of one of the
old Franklin stoves. and this may be con-
nected with the chimney piece by means
of pipe.
A hall planned on such lines is one of
the most serviceable places of the house.
In it can be received any caller whom one
does not wish to enter the more formal or
intimate rooms. and also a good deal OF
the lounging that ordinarily comes in the
one sitting room will be done here.

USES OF OLIVE OIL.
The Use on Delicate Compilations Is
HARMFUL

The value of olive oil FOR the complex

quency with which l find it mentioned in
my daily mail. One writer is very much
astonished that l say / disapprove of 1t
for the face: another declares that she
uses it because the Queen of England
makes a practice of regularly applying it,,
and the supposed olive oil treatment is
one reason of the royal lady's appearance
of extreme youth. Still another CORE
spondent declares that she has been tod
to massage it into her cheeks to increase
their roundness.
IN my opinion olive Oil is one of the most
valuable tissue builders and skin foods,
but it's uses are, or should be, restricted
The whole of the body. l. thin and ema-
ciated, would undoubtedly be benefited If
it were massaged from neck to toes, daily,
with olive oil, but the same unguent, if

despite the fact that it is more exposed
part of the body, is delicate and must be
protected. Therefore all applications,
either COR making flesh on the cheeks,
massage to preserve freshness. or to rem
der the skin finer, must be less strong
than olive oil.
Olive Oil is not the only tissue builder
that requires modification for the face.

Two further objections to olive oil being
some women. but nevertheless. they are
important One is that the oil is too
greasy: too great quantity of fat is ap-
piled directly for the pores to absorb The
other is that olive oil not being pure. that

No article on the market is more diluted
and aduterated than olive oil, and to get
a good quality requires care. Added to
this. the best of oil (olive) keeps from be-

tons. Oil can be in this state. quite I'M
known to the user. IL the application Is
an external one. and the action o. any
rancid matter on the skin is injurious.
For no part of the body should applica-
tons used be SO carefully balanced, chem
ically, as for the face. That having too
much fat will make the complexion
greasy by giving the tissues more than
they can absorb. If lacking in fats the
skin becomes dried. The chance of olive
oil being too heavy is SO great that it is
much better not used for facial massage.
Far more probable is ii that something
blended. such cold cream containing
almond oil, white wax. and rose water,
will agree. The ingredients neutral.ze
each other in such way as to improve
the completion. feeding the tissues with
a balanced ration. not overdosing them
with one ingredient.
