Painting Woodwork

To the Editor Of woman's Page
Dear Madam In the near future
we expect to move into a house which
we bought quite some time ago.
Now, what I would like to know is,
how can get the wood clean in the in
terror of the house! 1t also is very
dark would like to have it lighter. The
wood is supposed to be dark oak
Also can you tell me how to paint
bathroom? The wood in the bath
room is also dark oak. I would like to
have it all white. Will you kindly tell
me what kind of paint to use, also how
many coats of paint to put on?
(Nlrs.) X. G. X.
Rub the woodwork in this house with
linseed oil and turpentine to clean It,.
This may tighten the dark oak by re
moving the surface dirt, but if you want
to stain it lighter shade, you will
have to remove the finish that is on
now and put on new one. This is
very tedious, difficult work, and is not
always done successfully by amateurs,
as the stain dries quickly and is aptto
be rough and uneven. l think YOU will
find it more practical just to clean the
woodwork and leave it the same color,
or else let a painter change it for you.
unless you have done this before.
To paint the bathroom woodwork,
remove all the paint that is now on it
with q patent remover or with washing
soda. Then put on two coats of fiat
white house paint. letting each coat
dry thoroughly. and add finally a coat
or two of white enamel.

Making Dyes

Yellow is the most abundant color in
nature, from the first crocus in the
earliest spring to the many shades from
lemon to orange that light up the fields
of the dying year. Pale, clear yellow
comes from peach leaves or bark and
alum; hickory bark and alum hickory
bark, laurel leaves and alum. A wild
coreopsis blooming on mountain heights
in midsummer yields a very fast and
useful yellow. 1t mixes we'll with in
digo to make green. Of puccoon root,
with its deep orange hue, we have al
ready spoken. 1t needs no mordant.
Touch Inc not yields a dullish yellow
fast. but not pretty when pure. 1t is
made by using a layer of herb and one
of thread, pouring on the water. Some
just let it soak, others boil. Other yell
lows are obtained by using wild crab
apple bark, or black oak bark, both set
with alum.
Green in a soft olive is made by
boiling blue yarn with poplar bark. II
copperas or alum is added, the green
turns to dull black. A very keen,
vivid green is made by boiling blue yarn
with plain hickory bark. Boil hickory
bark and strain, then put in copperas
and wool thread for an olive green.
Strain and boil again, then rinse. To
hickory bark may be added either red
or black oak bark and copperas. The
same barks can be set with alum soda.
Purple is secured from what the
natives call ''hemlock," but which is
really a species of spruce; the addition
of copperas producing purple tone
bit more on the lavender. Sourwood.
mountain laurel, sassafras bark. ali
yield purples. A dull olive green is
made by using copperas alone and boil
ing the thread until the desired depth
of color is obtained. This is handsome
color for any warp.-Modern Priscilla.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

THE idea used to be that there was
i just one thing to do with stripes
and that was to wear them up and
down. No one but convicts wore them
the other way. But it is different now.
In the skirt shown in, the sketch to-
day you will see what l mean. ! have
seen several very smart skirts cut in
this way with the stripes going round
and round, while the necessary up and
down alignment was achieved by the
plaits. Needless to say the effect is
better when the stripes are far apart.
In the skirt in the sketch only three
of the stripes show below the end of
the jacket with which it is worn.
And before ] say any more ! must
tell you that this combination of plaid
wool skirt and wool jersey coat is
extremely smart. 1t is, moreover, ex-
elusive. You see it affected in the morn
ing by the very smartly dressed women
at the fashionable winter resorts. In
the sketch you will see coat of black
jersey with cuffs and collar of white
wool jersey, held in trigly at the waist
line by means of white patent leather
belt. The plated skirt with which it
is worn is of black and white wool
with the stripes going around in the
way have just spoken of.

A WAY back last fall some time
"A Eileen's mother was i'll with grip,
and Eileen had to carry all hef meals
upstairs because there was no maid.
At the same time she had to get the
meals for her brother and her boy
cousin who lived with them, and she had
such bad cold herself that she could
hardly get up in the mornings. She
complained about having so much to do
one day, and her cousin, who is always
teasing her, hurting her feelings and
laughing at her, said. 'I just think
you're awful to kick about that" And
it was almost Christmas before they
spoke to each other again.
Silly, wasn't it? There were so
many embarrassing times when she was
with girl and they met her cousin. The
other girl naturally spoke to the boy,
and Eileen sailed by with her chin IN
the air. His friends talked to her. and
as soon as he joined them her back
had to be turned. But now they have
gone back to the old relationship. He
leases her, humillates her, worries her'
until she cannot stand any more. She
thinks about it, broods over it, keeps
herself awake at night thinking up ways
to hurt him and get even with him. She
doesn't realize that the quickest way to
surprise him is to laugh with him when
he finds her so amusing. Once she has
surprised him it will be an easy mat

you still want to marry him, it will be

The persons concerned are twenty
years old. For about two years l have

engagement within a few months. Now
dear Cynthia, what puzzles me is this !:

vited to many parties. I am popular
when we go to parties because l am con-
sidered a good dancer and, therefore,
am much in demand. causing him to be-

my friend a good part of the evening,
but he thinks that l don't give him the
attention that he deserves. Once, after
party, he said that he was tired of it.
that he knows he is jealous and he
doesn't care what do. He is broad
minded chap, but can't make him see
that don't do things Intentionally to
work on his jealousy. However, we
talked the matter over and we both de-
cided to do everything possible to please
each other and be happy. We were
getting along very we'll for few months
until we went to a party and the same
thing followed. know he loves me and
yet fear that we will part when he is
in one of these moods. Please under
stand, Cynthia, that love him too much
to let our affair come to naught and
DOM want to think of it because from
our many talks together we felt sure
that our married life would be happy
one.
