NAMED FOR QUEEN

There's a curious beauty in varnish.
1t has something of the golden lowell
ness of the amber from which the
ancientS used to make it. When
varnish is flowing from brush onto
your living room floor it will interest
you TO remember that it is named
for Queen Berenice, who reigned in
the third century BIC. When her
husband, Ptolemy II, went of to war
in Syria she cut off her magnificent
golden hair as a sacrifice to Venus
to insure his safe return. Theancients,
because the lacquer they made with
amber reminded them of the golden
beauty Of Berenice's hair, called it
"bernix," or 'vernix' the
Italian "vernice" and our English
"varnish."
