tant. You should have a good
brush of soft hair that will not
shed bristles with your finished
work. A thin wooden stick or an
old table Knife is always needed
for stirring. Sandpaper of a
double 90 fincness and a can of
naphtha for preparing are essen
tial. With this equipment all that
is left is to secure a can of the
lacquer and a can of thinner for
thinning the lacquer when it be-
comes too heavy and for cleaning
the brush at the finish of the
job.
The lacquer can be had in II
standard colors and black and
white from which any desired
shade can be made by combining
the standard colors. For instance
a lovely peach color results when
a can of orange and a can Of
white are mixed. A tomato red
can be made from one part red,
three parts orange, and four parts
white,
One of the best features of this
new lacquer paint is the simple
but very complete directions for
using it and for making color
combinations.

told him. Men who are sure
OF their ability; men who know
that they know a few, things
will never feel it necessary to
mention their own cleverness.
The results of their efforts show
for themselves.
"Who are the most successful
and the most important men you
know" inquired Mr.. Smith.
The boy mentioned several.
Can you remember ever hav
ing heard any of those men tel:.
ing how smart they are or how
they can excel other people?"
OF course, the answer was in
the negative.
"If you will just remember
that you have some weak points
along with your strong ones,
you will not be so keen about
calling attention to what you
can do" Mr.. Smith concluded.
There are not very many chill
dren who are given to Boosting:
but there are a few ir every

will make them despised by their
fellows. and because the fault is
so easilyf cured it seems a pity
to allow them to make them
