WI HEN chairs and tables show
w signs of much wear, 1t is
W time they were renovated,
and, if the work is well done, the fur
niture will look as handsome as when
new.
There are some very important points
about the work that one should know
about, of course, before undertaking
to restore the new look to the dented
and lusterless surface of the chairs
and tables. A smooth satin finish, or
wax finish, has largely taken the
place of the highly vanished surface
in the homes of refined people.
We put an old, worn table of finely
proportioned colonial style into good
condition with a few hours work. The
first move was to scour the table all
over with hot soapsuds, to give 1t a
clean surface. A rinsing with clear
warm water followed.
For the next step we used powdered
pumice stone, mixed with water. With
a brush, dipped in this mixture, we
went over the surface with forceful
strokes, to smooth down any linger-
ing traces of varnish, defects in the
wood, and so on.
Vanishing the surface came next,
applied first with the grain of the
wood, then across the grain, and fin
ally, with the third going over, streak
ing it on along the lines of least re-
sistance. This coating of varnish
filled up the dents, oblterated the
scratches, and prepared the surface
for the next process.
This varnish dried in a short time,
when it was removed with pumice
powder that had been mixed with lin
seed oil. This combination gave a
wonderful result-a dull smoothness
that brought the table almost up to
the standard of new furniture. The
mixture was distributed with a stiff
brush in a circular motion.
The wax finish was given with an
application of oil, rubbed in with a
piece of soft felt. 1t is best to use
as little oil as possible-just enough
to work into the wood nicely. With the
last rubover, using a dry flannel cloth,
the excess of oil. if there is any, is
absorbed in the flannel.
This simple method for cleaning, and
giving a wax finish, may be used with
good results on all pieces of wooden
furniture.

HOW TO MAKE SAUCES

Sauce making is next to salad max
ing and the woman not skillful in this
bit of culinary work is losing every
day. for a sauce can be used with left
over foods. There are all kinds of
sauces-lemon sauce to pour over dry
cake, mint sauce for roast lamb, pars-
ley and butter sauce for meat, tartar
sauce for oysters, etc. A sauce that is
served with broiled steak is made with
the acid Juice saved from a can of to-
matoes. This is boiled with bay leaf,
parsley and Kitchen bouquet" 1t is
enriched with butter and sometimes
slightly thickened with flour. A fish
sauce is made with melted butter. lem
on juice and finely ground parsley, sea-
is served either in the shell of hard
boiled egg or placed in a little paper
patty pan for the purpose. Lemon or
orange sauce is made like thin blanc
mango, chilled and poured over cake.
1t can be made perfectly white IL the
yolks of eggs are not used. Some
merely use lemon juice, water, butter
and cornstarch slightly sweetened.
This makes a clear sauce. An onion
sauce is tempting on some meat. The
onions are fried brown, removed from
the pan, and stock is added to the
grease with mustard and lemon juice.
Roast pork, apple sauce; roast NUT

LABRYs WOMAN OF THE FUTURE

There is not a country town in the
land but bristles with Jane Austen
women. With a good many eXcep-
tions, one would not be sorry to see
them go. They are kindly, but small
oh. so deadly small.
The woman of the future is not Of
this type. She is far too busy to be
womanish, but she will never outgrow
being feminine. She is shedding her
smallness. Like the genie in the Ara
bian Nights" now the cork has been
removed, she is darkening the whole
sky line like a pillar of smoke, but
presently the smoke will settle into a
figure of gigantic size" She will be
the Meredith woman, softened by re-
atty as Galatea softened into life.
She will not glide about with up
lifted finger like Agnes, nor drive tired
men to distraction with her prattle
like Dora, nor weep eternally when
George is unkind like Amelia. No,
when she feels hysterical she will go
and sit on a Himalaya till she is cooler,
and when her husband annoys her out
of her usual placidity, sticking a few
pigs in Texas or India will soon put
her straight And with it all she will
wear her frills as we'll as ever.-Truth

THE PASSING OF THE METAL BED

The fad for metal beds is passing, ac-
cording to a writer in Suburban Life
for April, who says: I'VE are told that
metal beds are more sanitary, and so
they probably are, especially for hospi-
tails, where the simplest white painted
frames are used. But the fashion for
brass beds ran into such hideous
shapes and such tawdry elaboration
that the pendulum has swung the other
way now, and the wooden beds have
come into vogue again. Properly hand
led, they should be as easy to care for
as the brass bed, and they are far pref
tier. However, there is no doubt that
good metal bed can be bought for
much smaller price than good wooden
one. Choose the simplest-the hospital
cot with no ornaments at all, or the all
brass bed; the white beds with brass
cups and vases do not wear so well,
the brass ornaments coming off and
denting easily"

ROCK CAKES

Half a pound of -four, quarter of a
pound of sultana raisins. one large ta-

the flour into a basin, add the sugar,
among which rub the butter, add the

dried; also the baking powder and gin
GER and mix all well together. Beat
up the egg well, add to it two or three
tablespoonfuls of milk, and mix; use
more milk If necessary, but the ingre-
dients in the basin must be barely wet.
Have a baking tin creased, with a
spoon or fork lift small portions OF
this mixture. about half the size of an
apple, onto the tin, leaving an inch
between each. Dust some sugar over,

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To clean the kitchen walls, first pour
some kerosene into a basin, then take
a soft cloth and dip 1t in the kerosene
and wash a part of the wall with IT.;
then wiring another cloth out in clean
hot water and go over the spot Just
cleaned with the kerosene. and lastly
wipe with a clean, dry cloth. You Will
be surprised at the results.
Keeping the kitchen range in an at
tractive condition is one of the hard
est problems the housewife has to
deal with, on account of the injury to
the hands from the polish. lately dis
covered that by using a paint brush to
apply the polish the task was robbed
of its disagreeable qualities. A small
paint brush is to be desired, for
through the use of this one can reach
all the crevices. Polish with a good
shoe brush.
Iron and rust spots on clothing, es-
pecially white articles, cause the house
wife q great deal of needless worry
in trying to remove them. One way
which is effective is to dampen the
spot with hot water and rub into 1t
plain soda used in cooking. Rub well
and rinse in hot water. If this does not
remove the spot, boil the garment in
a solution of water and soda.
A solution of chloride of lime for use
in the home may be prepared by dis
solving half a pound of the powder In
a gallon of soft water. Keep a bottle
of it always near at hand in the bed
room and in the bathroom during the
hot summemr weather. 1t should be
used to clean the bathtub after each
bath and for rinsing out the wash
stand. All drains and vaults are rem
derered less dangerous by its use IN
this form. 1t is always effective for
destroying vermin where there are
rotting timbers. There is nothing bet
ter for cleansing unpleasant outbuild-
ings and stables than this solution, and
an open saucer in a sick room tends to
keep the air pure and assists the ven
tila alton.
To cleanse the collars OF garments,
dissolve one part salt in four parts al
cohol and apply with a sponge and
rub we'll.
Felt hats may be cleaned by dipping
a short-haired brush into spirits OF
ammonia. Rub well until grease dis
appears.
If you slip a thin piece of whalebone
into the hem where hooks and eyes
are to be sewed without showing
through on other side you will avoid
trouble. Slip the whalebone out after
work is completed.
If a couple tablespoonfuls of sweet
milk are added to a tub of hard water
before putting in bluing 1t will pre-
vent the bluing from lodging In the
clothes in spots.
Fruit cheese is a delightful and
healthful confection for children. Use
half a pound each of raisins, currants,
dates, figs and blanched almonds ana
two pounds of English walnuts. GRIND
fine, mix we'll and pack tightly in "a
dish under cover. After two or three
