PAIN is
.anyFinishes
Available

There are some people who
believe that the only finish pos
Sible is a varnish.
That is certainly not the best
one, though it is the one most
often used on inexpensive COM
mercial furniture. Instead you
might use oil and wax; or shell
lac and wax; or stain, shellac,
and wax; or the hand-rubbed
oil finish.
There is also the cheapest Of
all-the shellac finish, which is
never quite permanent.
In selecting the finish you
want, remember that it is wise
to bring out the grain of the
wood and to emphasize its nat
ural tone rather than to dis
guise it.
An oil finish is considered by
many people, especially those
who deal with or live with an
tiques, the finest possible finish
for really good woods. It is par
ticularly desirable for table tops
that are to be used for dining
tables or where the finish will
have to withstand hot dishes,
hot water, scratches, etc.
If this process is followed care.
fully-and it is long one
there is no better or more du-
rable surface. Such a finish is
not always practical for furni-
ture with a great deal Of cary
ing, for the oil is apt to stick
in tn ecarvings and so collect
dust.
This finish takes a long time,
anywhere from two or three
weeks to several months. The
one advantage is that the piece
of furniture can be in use dur.
ing all that period. and does
not have to be put to one side.

Her color sense tends toward
gray and white and the sepia
colors of Japanese prints,
though she also has a passion
for red. She believes that a
woman should be more impor-
tant than her clothes.
AS a hobby, she collects cos

adores Macy's, and that the
theater and riding are her main
means Of relaxation.
And there is Carol. Carol is as
effervescent as she is efficient.
A thoroughly talented person
who is, today, our outstanding

born in Kansas City and at 18,

Carol came to New York on a
