and are not permanent to light. The
Shellac coat may be either orange or
white, depending upon whether or not
the work is dark or light. Shellac
should be reduced One-half with dena-
tured alcohol; do not use wood alco-
hol if you wish to avoid the possibility
Of blindness resulting from the expos"
ure to fumes in a closed room. Never
apply shellac as an undercOat in full
body; it is merely a sizing coat for the
wood and will prevent much clOudiness
from improper sanding when the filler
is applied. Let the shellac coat dry
at least three hours, more if the rooms
are cold. Prepare the filler, being
sure to use one prepared from a silex
base and not from cornstarch or flour,
which will shrink and fade when the
oil has been absorbed by the wood.
Freedom From Dust Big Aid.
After the varnish has dried three
days, or longer, it should be sanded
free from nibs with No. 90 or O000 sand
paper. The trim should be carefully
| busted; better still, sponged with
clear water and dried with chamois.
| The floors should receive the same
| treatment. If this method is followed,
and the rooms kept closed. an enor-
nous amount of sanding will be saved
| in the end because of great freedom
of dust, the ruination of much var
nished trim. If the work Is to be
rubbed with felt pad, pumice stone and
water, start with the head casing and
continuous trim, using a pad Of Span

two pals handy, one with water and
sponge in which to dip the rub.

water for sponging off after rubbing.
Use o or F pumice stone and rub only
with the grain Of the wood until the
work is smooth and the surface has
been leveled off free from nibs. Sponge
clean, using a two-inch chisel Chinese
bristle brush for molding, and wipe
dry with a chamois. Avoid all cloths
for wiping, as they invariably leave
lint, which will ruin any varnish fin
ish. Never let the pumice stone dry
on the work, as it will dust off and
float around to spoil fresh varnish ap
piled later. When properly dried, il
any says or tears have occurred OF
the varnish, they may be removed

and in consequence my husband could
not accompany us. The colonel insist
ed upon my taking my two children
with us, although both were very
small, my little boy, John A. Logon,
Jr, mere baby. However, he regard
ed the trip in the light of an historic
pilgrimage and felt that the children
should see some of the battlefields
over which distinguished generals had
led their armies.
at was a cold, bleak day on which
we arrived in Richmond. and the ho-
tel was desolate place of refuge 1t
afforded one of the evidences of the
privations which the people of the
Confederacy had suffered. These evil
dences were very plentiful throughout
the city, as we later discovered. The
vehicle which Colonel Wilson found
for our conveyance for the drive to the
backgrounds nearby was a wretched
carriage drawn by two miserably poor
horses. The driver was the picture of
detection, and the small boy who
served as footman was no better, and
he shivered from head to foot with
|
the cold.
"As we drove over the battlefields
we observed colored people picking up
the bullets and pieces of shell, shrap-
mel, minnie balls, bits of broken cam
non and other iron material. Foun-
dries had set a price on this product,
and 1t afforded quite livelihood for a
time to the poor about fortified cities
and battlefelds.

cemeteries at Richmond and Peters
burg made historic through the strug-
giles which had taken place in and
around those cities. There were a
great many burial grounds In those
neighborhoods, because the globes
which were land grants from Eng
land to the Episcopal church in
America, had still existed as church
grants at the time of the Civil war
and were used as burial grounds for
the citizens and soldiers.
ain the burying ground near Peters
burg we saw many hundreds OF
graves of Confederate soldiers, ant
they nearly all bore small, faded
flag. and the dark, withered wreath:
and remains of their floral decoration
of nearly a year before. These
