PAINTING FURNITURE

When painting unfinished furni- ture. before applying the paint, be sure that tue surfaces are well sanded, so that they will be per- fectly smooth and even. Different types of paint require different methods of application-so study the directions on the can and follow them closely. It's important. too. that each coat be absolutely dry be- fore the next is applied. Many of the new paints. however, dry very rapidly, so the job need not be bong and tedious.

At the second winter meeting Of
the American Designers Institute
In Chicago designers from the major
furniture centers discussed the pros
and cons Of the Victorian influence
with considerable spirit. It was
generally conceded that where this
influence prevails 1t Is advisable to
employ 1t with considerable re-
straint. Whatever the opinion, how
ever, the revival Is certainly Sig
nificant.
Regency influence.
OF course the regency influence,
with its classic simplicity and dig
nified formality, has already gained
a firm foothold on popular taste and
there is bound to be something Of Z
nip and tuck struggle between
regency's bid for simplicity and
Victorian's bid for ornateness. Re-
gency probably will endure = longer

this depends upon how Victorian
is handled. how far 1t is removed
from staginess and stunlness and
whether 1t is treated with suficient
imagination to transform its fussy
unreality into . sort Of gay sophis-
tication. Il

"The requirements for member

Club of any association should be
based upon the fact that the member
desires to build a home, that he will
plan to pay into the association at
certain definite times certain

so that he may purchase home at

said Mr.. Cannon.
"On the basis of an accommodating

chase of a home it will be profitable
and proper that the association
should arrange and provide a pro-
gram of cooperative information to
encourage the would-be home owner

Plans Should Simmer.
1T has been my personal observa-
ton as an architect that no plans
for really successful home can be
arranged quickly. They must be
allowed to simmer, to be restudied,
to be xechecked, in order that they
may be definitely known to fulfill all
