beauty and usefulness In the dining
room consists Of a mahogany frame 19
x25 inches. The tray was once the
frame of an old-fashioned mirror. The
frame and glass were bought at a
house ehold sale for the nominal sum
of fifteen cents. Both were apparently
marred beyond remedy. 1t was taken
apart and the frame sent to a profess
sional furniture finisher to be done
over. When 1t was returned 1t never
could have been recognized as the
cast-off frame. Its finish was the
beautiful. satiny one OF mahogany
The man who bought the mirror re-
moved the mercury from the glass by
first covering 1t with turpentine and
then rubbing over 1t with a circular
movement, using a silver dollar laid
fiat. The tray was then ready to be
put together. Under the glass was
put a piece of poinsettia-f a-f1owered ma
