FOR THE WARM DAYS
NOW Is A GOOD TIME TO FIX UP
PORCH FURNITURE.
Demands a Little Time and Trouble,
But Effect Is Well Worth While
Best Method Of Staining
New Articles.

1t is time to get out the porch furni-
ture. This sounds like a task easily
accomplished, but in reality 1t entails
a good deal of work The furniture
cannot be just lugged down from the
attic or up from the cellar and de-
posted as 1t is on the veranda. 1t
must be cleaned and freshened up
Some Of It needs a new coat of stain
or enamel, some of 1t needs new
cushions. Perhaps it must be replen-
ished, and that means careful shop
ping.
To begin with the cleaning. this
can best be done out of doors, with a
garden hose and plenty of hot water
For each chair have a pailful of hot
suds, softened with borax. Apply this
to the seat OF the chair with a stiff
whisk broom, and scrub 1t about Wig
orously. Then scrub the back, sides
and under part of the chair in the
same manner. Dash whatever suds
remain over the chair, and then rinse
1t with plenty of fresh, clean water
from the hose. Clean tables and all
way, and let them dry out of doors
in the sunshine, or else near fire
The cleaning process described may
brighten the furniture sufficiently 30
that no additional stain or paint Is
needed. If the furniture does need a
fresh dressing-apply the finish decid-
ed on without scraping off the old
paint. The result will not, Of course,
be perfect, but 1t will be sufficiently
good to make the time saved seem
worth while. Most porch furniture
is hardly valuable enough to spend
hours over with sandpaper and paint
removers.
New furniture should be carefully
kstained or enameled. 1t can be bought.
Eof course, already colored, but as the
price of most articles is dollar less
when they are uncolored, and the
work is easy to do and pleasant any
cheap, 1t can advantageously be done
at home, Enough varnish enamel or
stain for a chair or moderately large
table costs from Is to 25 cents.
Many decorators now give willow
furniture a dull instead of shiny
finish To accomplish this apply a
fiat finish oil stain. Put it on evenly,
and allow the first coat to dry before
putting on second.
If the stain Is not dark enough when
1t has dried a second coat can then
be put on without danger of cloudi-
ness, sickness or thickness.
Another way to get a dull finish is
to put on a varnish stain and rub 1t
in as you put it on with cotton cloth.
This method makes the stain dry dull

cross-shaped weapon that 1t is no
more than a cross of plain wood. the

of the cross is held firmly between
the thumb and finger vertically, with
the plane of the cross beside his face.

tions increase rapidly until it swerves
