Last years garden furniture is
apt to look rather drab in a
June garden that is a riot of
colors. To harmonic furniture
with such gay inviting surround
ings, try getting out paint and
brush.
Wooden furniture, metal. and
even deck chairs can be i'm
proved. And a Saturday after
noon spent in such activity will
bring you joy during the whole
summer.
The colors for summer outdoor
furniture are vivid and a few new
combinations are added to the old
green and white standby. One Of
the new color schemes Is garnet
and white. The garnet is the deep
maroon SC popular In summer
fashions this year.
Crisp blue and white is as popu-
lar as ever and there Is still much
use of sunshine yellow. Chocolate

} When it Is dry. take good look
at the condition Of the surface.
If it's in bad condition, brush it
with a wire brush, Scrape off loose
particles and rub it down with
a medium sandpaper. If the coat
ing is badly cracked or scaled. use
a paint and varnish remover and
follow with a printing coat thinned
with turpentine. When the old
finish is glossy, wash with a solu-
ton of one pound Of sal soda to
a gallon of water and rinse.
Simplest Method
Now for actual painting. You'll
find that the simplest method is
to turn chairs and tables upside
down and begin work at the bot
tom Of the legs. Then set them
right side up on clean newspapers
to finish. This saves much bend
ing and gives a better view Of the
painted surfaces.
II you are using house paint,
The Washington times., 1936-07-04

this has been applied and dried
two coats Of house paint is needed
for satisfactory results.
For the natural wood such as
found in deck chairs, use spar var
nish. This will prolong the life and
appearance of the chair. Another
type of furniture protected to ad-
vantage with varnish is hickory
furniture. II the furniture is the
sort with bark on it, the varnish
will overcome the habit it has of
playing havoc with filmy summer
frockS and sheer hose.
In case this is your maiden
painting venture, you may find
a few suggestions on how to go
about it Of value. The first con-
Germs the preliminary activity be-
fore actual painting starts. The
furniture should be washed with
mild soap and water and rinsed
thoroughly. And soap left on the
surface will mar the finish.
The Washington times., 1936-07-04

If you are building, you will want
to make careful inquiries into this
subject, so that you will choose
just the finish to add personality
to your library or study.
One of the newest finishes is
common plywood Of pine or wal
nut. These sheets of panelling
are quite thin, but are fitted in
and applied so that the grain of
the wood alternates in each direc-
ton. This prevents splitting and
makes a more permanent finish
It works on the same principle as
veneering. When expertly applied,
walls appear done in heavy rich
panelling.
Knotty pine for libraries and
basement room finishes Is having
quite a vogue in Washington. The
wood comes in white, but can be
stained and finished in a variety
Of ways.
A Colonial finish is especially
good, as this gives a soft antique
appearance to it.

county, or the Conestoga River,
in the most fertile agricultural
region Of the State.
Lancaster county produces huge
crops of tobacco and grain; hay,
fruit, poultry, cattle and dairy
products. The stockyards OF Ian
caster are the largest east Of Chi
cago. There are over 800 indus
trial plants, including the Arm
strong Cork Company and the
Hamilton Watch Company.
Lancaster was, at the time Of
the Revolution, the largest inland
city in the Is colonies and had
high hopes of being the national
capital. Although this honor
never came to the city perma-
nently, it Vas the capital for one
day, September 81, 1777, when
Congress stopped over for one day
on it's flight from Philadelphia
after the Battle of Brandywine
Major Andre, captured British spy
who was later hanged, was sent
to Lancaster on parole and during
his stay here tutored Lancaster
children. Lancaster was the CAPT.
tai of the State from 1899 to 1912.
In the days Of the colonization
Of the West, the Conestoga wagon,
or prairie schooner. was probably
the most important single item of

firearms. They were invented and
manufactured here. Points of in

House (1857-6D. He lived here
before becoming President and
after his retirement.

Franklin and Marshall College,
formed in 1877 by the union of two
schools that were II and Is years

Revolution, three future governors
and two future Senators.

the green Of the outdoors.
Type Of Paint
The type Of paint depends, Of
course, on the type Of furniture.
Wooden garden furniture needs
one sort Of coating while metal
chairs and tables call for another.
Good paint is important as it does
provide the protection needed by
furniture that is outdoors in all
kinds Of weather.
The type Of coating for wood
and wicker is house paint. And
in order 60 resist outdoor exposure
and show off your colors to best
advantage, two coats should be
used.
If you have unfinished metal
furniture and are painting it for
the first time, use a special metal
primer first to prevent corrosion.
This can be purchased at the store
when the paint Is purchased. After

This is the most fertile agricul-

State, and at this time of year
fields are lush with growing crops.
York, which served as capital
of the nation for nearly a year
when the British occupied Phila-
delphia during the Revolution. is
attractive to history lovers par
ticularly because of the collections
exhibited by the Historical Society
of York County at the Court
House.

Without draperies, the windows
assume a stark, undressed appear
ance. One nice remedy for this
is Venetian blinds. They soften
the light and can be had in col
ors and made to fit any window.
These allow the light to filter
through and any available breeze
to come through.
Window Boxes
For the summer, window box
sets or white wire trellis, wi h
crisp green plants, can be ar
ranged at one end Of the living
room and add the desired cool,
refreshing touch to the appear
ance.
This is also the time when the
walls show up to best or worst
advantage.
# you have decided that some
thing must be done about them,
then you will want to take special
notice of new forms of treatment
so that not only will they be
good this winter, but will be in
teresting and cool next summer.
For walls that are pleasing in
summer, it is not necessary to
be extreme in the matter and
choose scenics Of cool summer
gardens or seagoing nautical de-
signs.
New Finishes
Interesting, colorful designs of
paper in restful, cool papers, are
much to be preferred. These can
be had in washable papers, that
are semitrimmed to save time in
hanging.
For a permanent wall covering,
interiors done in wood are good.
