MAKE OLD LIKE NEW
SOME SUGGESTIONS ABOUT RE.
FINISHING OF OLD FURNITURE.
Much to Be Done Before the Actual
Work Of Putting on the Enamel 10
Bepun-cleanllness Most
Important.

When old furniture is to be enam.
eled to give 1t a new lease of life
there is a good deal to be done be-
fore the actual putting on Of the
enamel, and upon this preliminary
preparation depends the success. Be-
gin by giving each piece a thorough
good scrubbing with hot water, soap,
and a strong bristle brush. This
scrubbing brings away any dirt and
chips of paint, leaving surface clean,
but Clipped where the bits Of paint
have come of. Then take a piece OF
fine sandpaEer and rub the furniture
all over with it, and II must be a
really fine sandpaper, as a coarse
piece would scratch and spoil the sur
face. Then If your furniture Is to be
enameled white the next step is a
coat of white paint, not enamel but
Just fat white paint. Put this on first
with a small brush, filling in all the
Clipped places. and letting them dry
before putting on the whole coat.
This will take several hours to dry,
but 1t must be left till quite firm. first
the spots and then the coat of paint.
Before opening the enamel tin shake
II hard, so that the contents may be
thoroughly mixed. then give the
enamel a good stir with a piece OF
stick. pressing out any little Jumps
against the side OF the tin and getting
the whole mixture as smooth as
cream. For putting on the enamel
use a soft, fat brush, and work always
In the same direction. Put on a thin
first coat, trying to use as little as
possible. and be very careful not to
leave puddles or thick dabs IN the
corners. The first coat of enamel may
take several days to dry thoroughly
When 1t is quite dry sandpaper 1t over
very lightly indeed and put on anoth'
er coat. This second coat is some
times not necessary; 1t depends on
the condition and former color of the
piece of furniture to a great extent
and must be judged of by the painter
herself

Ever Hear Of Fish Scales on an Alto Horn?

u ITTSBURGH, PA.-Who put the
i Bismarck herring in Harry Bak-
sr's horn? City Hall threatens to be
rocked by the controversy that has
arisen over. this simple and almost
personal question. At least that's
what the gossipers say. To tell tie
truth Harry refuses to be interviewed
when the reporters attempt to get him
to tell the details.
Now Mr.. Baker may be the innocent
victim of irresponsible and unrelent-
ing scandal mongers. And again Mr..
Baker may have incriminated himself
by simply. refusing to be interviewed
on the subject. At any rate the tale
remains undenied. and in that event
It is too good to let slip by without
making some mention of II.
Harry Baker is one Of the crew that
guides the destinies of the mayors
office. In this capacity it is one OF
Harry's provinces to see that the gang
that congregates about that sanctum
every afternoon behaves itself with
proper decorum while waiting for the
summons to enter the holy OF holies
where the mayor sits with his feet on
the mahogany desk.
AS a further detail Of this tale. Har-
~ is credited with being an artist on
the alto horn. which he plays with
great technique and feeling in one of
the Northside German singing socie-
ties. Having neither seen nor heard
