OLD LIKE NEW
BONE SUGGESTIONS ABOUT re.
FINISHING OF OLD FURNITURE.
Much to BE Done Before the Actual
Work of Putting on the Enamel Is
6egun-CIeanIiness Most
Important.

When old furniture is to be enam-
there is 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 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 off. Then take piece OF
fine sandpaper and rub the furniture
all over with it, and it must be
really fine sandpaper, as coarse
piece would scratch and spoil the sur
face. Then If your furniture is 10 De
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, filing in all the
Clipped places. and letting them dry
before putting on the whole coat
This will take several hours to o-y,
but 1t must be left till quite firm. first
the spots and then the coat of paint.
Before opening the enamel tin shake
it 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 soft, fiat brush, and work always
in the same direction. Put on 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 it is quite dry sandpaper it over
very lightly indeed and put on anoth-
er coat. This second coat is some
times not necessary; it 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

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Actors Story.

The afternoon of the next day Dom
mick came home earlier than usual
His New York friend, who was en-
route to Japan, had but couple Of
days in San Francisco, and again
claimed his company for dinner. The
theater was to follow and Dominick
had come home to change his clothes,
and incidentally either to see Berry
and explain his absence or to leave a
message for her with the Chinaman.
He felt rather guilty where she was
concerned. He had seen nothing OF
her for two days. The only time they
met was in the evening after business
hours, the only meal they took to-
gether was dinner. With every spark
cf affection dead between them. their
married life the hollowest sham, she
had so long and SO sternly trained
him to be considerable Of her and keep
her on his mind, that he still In
stinctively followed the acquired habit
of thinking of her comfort and ar
ranging for it. He knew she would
be annoyed at the two lonely dinners,
and hoped to see her before ne left

for one Of her sisters to join her.
The fiat was very quiet when he en-
tered, and after looking into one or
two rooms for her no called the Chi
naman, who said Mrs. Ryan had gone
out early in the afternoon, leaving
no message except that she would be
home to dinner. Dolninick nodded
dismissal and walked into the den.
He carried the evening papers In his
hand, and looking at the clock he saw
that he had an hour before 1t would
be necessary for hirn to dress and
leave the house. Berry would I'M
doubtedly be home before then; she
was rarely out after six. Meantime,
the thought that she was not in and
that he could read the papers in I'M
molested, uninterrupted silence
caused a slight sense of relief to
tighten the weight that was now al
ways with him.
He had hardly opened the first sheet
when a ring at the bell dispelled his
hopes. 1t was one Of his wife's hab
its never to carry a latch-key, which
she looked upon as symbol Of that
bourgeois, middle-class helpfulness
that she had shaken off with her other
working girl manners and customs
Dominick dropped the paper, waiting
for her entrance. and framing the
words with which he would acouaint
her with the fact that he was to be
absent again. Instead. however, OF
the rustic of feminine skirts, he heard
the Chinaman's padding steps, and the
servant entered and presented him
with card Traced on it in a sprawl
ing Handwriting was the name James
Delay Buford." Dominick remembered
his invitation to the man to call, and
realized that shis probably was the
only time that the actor could coDven-
iently do so. There was an hour yet
before dinner would be served, and
turning to the servant Dominick told
him to show the gentleman up.

tionless on the bench she saw the IA
miliar aspect of life fallen into new
shapes, taking on alien forms.
She realized that Dominick had new
er been happy with her, and, fer the
first time, she understood the gulf be-
tween them. She saw what the life
was that he had wanted to lead, and
that he could have led with the other
woman. 1t would have been that very
form of existence which Berry had al.
ways derided, and thought an outward
expression of the inward dullness of
people who had children, looked shah
by, and did not care for money. Now
she felt insure as to whether her
scorn of 1t was not foolish and unen-
ltghtened. As in a sudden forward

She brought her mental vision back
from this upon herself and felt shaken
and slightly sick. Seeing beyond the
circle of her own experience and SEN
sation for the first time, she would
have said to any companion who
might have shared her thoughts: mo
wonder Dominick didn't get on with
me-? For dispassionately-con

Dominick's eyes; she saw their mar

Everybody's Doino II.

The premier of Servia once upon a
time had a round of official calls to
make in the ministry building. His
first visit was at IL o'clock and he had
allotted Is minutes to it.
He called on a certain high official,
stood talking to him for what he
thought was his Is minutes. and then
proceeded across the hall TO the office
of another minister.
On the way there he sought TO look
at his watch. 1t was gone. He burst
into the other minister's office and ex-
claimed:
This is too much. Here | come to
this place and call on high official.

a prudent distance behind her, he kept
her in sight as she passed from the
smaller streets of the Latin Quarter
into the glare and discord of the more
populous highways, along Kearney
Street, past the lower boundary of
Portsmouth Square. He noticed that
she walked without haste, now and
then glancing at window or passer-
by. She was like a person who has
no objective point in view, or at least
is in no hurry to reach it.
But this did not seem to be the
case, for when she reached the square
she took her stand on the corner
where the Sacramento street cars
stop. The man drew back into door.
way opposite. They were the only
passengers who boarded the car at
that corner, Berry entering the closed
interior, the man taking seat on the
outside. He had it TO himself here,
and chose the end seat by the win
dow. Muttering imprecatiens at the
cold, he turned up his overcoat collar
and drew his soft felt hat down over
his ears. BY turning his head he
could see between the bars that cross
the end windows, the interior of the
car shining with light, its polished
yellow woodwork throwing back the
white glare of the electricity. There
were only three passengers, two de-
pressed-looking women in dingy black.
and Berry on a line with himself in
the corner by the door. He could see
her even better here than in the res
taurant. She sat, small, dark figure,
pressed into the angle Of the seat.
her hands clasped In her lap, her eyes
down. Her hat cast a shadow over
the upper part Of her face, and below
this the end Of her nose. her mouth
and chin were revealed as pale and
sharply-cut as an ivory carving. She
seemed to be sunk in thought and sat
motionless; the half of her face he
could see. looking very white against
her black fur collar.
He was furtively surveying her,
when she started. glanced out of the
window and signed to the conductor
to stop. The man on the front dropped
to the ground and stole lightly round
the car, so that its moving body hid
him from her. Emptiness and silence
held the street. and he could easily
follow her as she walked upward
