FURNITURE STAINS
MAY he PREPARED AZ HOME IN
THREE SHADES.
Possible to Make Artistic Pieces of
Furniture Out OF PLATA White
Wood--These Stains Are Easy TO
Apply.

A knowledge OF how TO make and
apply furniture stains and yarnishas
Is valuable to young housekeeper
whose income is limited, for with
slight practice it is often possible to
make artistic pieces of furniture out
of plain white wood chairs. tables,
&C.
For instance, inexpensive settles
without yaruish 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 a gal
Ion of water This should then be
strained and applied to the wood
while hot. 1t should be put on
evenly with a 1at brush, The fin
lsh requires a pearl ash solution,
that is made by putting two drains
OF ash into a quart OF water
This is not applied until the stain
ed wood is dry.
Fer a light shade two ounces OF
bruised dragons blood is put into
bottle with a quart of turpentine.
The jar is corked and placed in Il
warm spot. near or on a radiator, Is
shaken occasionally, until the blood
is dissolved, and then applied with
a brush.
The other mahogany stain is apt
to be understood best by those who
know something of mixing colora.
Raw sienna is ground and then mix
ed 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, wiping IL over I'M
mediately with a piece of cloth, or
other soft substance.
When quite dry the surface may
be oiled or vanished Cold drawn
linseed oil Is good yarnish or pol
lsher.
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 renovated.
However. doing over an old piece
would not be difficult IL it were UNI
derstood that the wood will not take
new stain until all the old varnish,
whatever it may be, is removed.
The easiest way of getting off the
old finish is to put on solution Of
-ol ,r,1n shot &C. ae IN yiph soda no ran
be dissolved In water. With a stiff
scrub brush this liquid should be ap-
piled while hot, so it will eat off the
surface coat stiff scrub brush
is best for putting it on with.
Then the article must be allowed
to dry before the new finish is ap-
Piled.

The darning Of narrow lace edges
is a most difficult matter.
If the tear is a serious one, the
edges OF the lace can be basted upon
the sclyages of muslin and placed in
the embroidery hoop.
Care must be taken not to sew
into the muslin.
II the edge Is destroyed entirely
or in part. the lace may be basted
upon white letter paper aud stitch
ed several times to form a new edge
and cross-threads stitched to hold
this edge in place, then the paper
pulled away and the remaining
stitches put in on the machine or
by hand.
Hamburg edgings and insertions
can be darned in the same way. They
should preferably be free Of starch
and smoothly ironed to facilitate
perfect work.
White mosquito netting that has
been washed will be found to give a
good foundation for darning coarsely
woven underwear on the machine,
and soft black mosquito netting
should be basted under the holes in
the knees of boys stockings.
1t should be basted directly across
the hole and the machine darning
be done directly upon it. The rough
edges and threads can afterward be
trimmed away.
When you are through darning
upon the machine co not forget to
replace the pressure upon the pres
sure foot and the stitch action to the
feed, otherwise you may be very
much puzzled the next time you so
to the machine, and wonder why 1t
won't make a stitch.
