In adapting pictures to old frames
that are on hand, it frequently happens
they do not exactly fit. The best way is
to use mat If there is much discrep-
ancy This may be of white. cream or
the deep shade of brown. This latter is
often used for photographs. The lighter
mats. are most appropriate for etchings
and prints. If the frame is a trifle
small. see If the picture cannot be cut
down a trifle without injury. 1t is
usually better to have the frame too
large and use a mat than to run the
risk Of hurting picture by cutting 1t
down.
Either gold or black frames lend them
selves well to oil paintings. II we decide
on the latter, we can use anv frames we
have and paint or stain them black.
All we have to do is apply coats of paint
until the surface is covered and then
finish with an oil.

of tobacco for 90 years, having COM

has now stopped chewing. and is under
treatment for high blood pressure. but
he still smokes about 80 small cigars
and a package of cigarettes daily.
Then he goes ON to complain that
he can't concentrate ON his work of
designing, how his nerves go TO pieces"
and all that.
Another reader who asks for advice
frankly. If inaccurately. avows that he

have known many pipe smokers who
are always temperate, and very few
cigar or cigarette smokers who do not

not extravaganza. But ! can't under

money on cigars or cigarettes. Think
of the fine estate our friend the designer
