REMOVING CASEIN PAINT:
LUNCHEON MENUS.
REQUESTED BY Mrs. D. J.. H.,
Falls church,
The lady who Is decorating her
small sons room will find nautical
and airplane patterns in the
woven bedspreads. They also make
nice draperies I would suggest from
experience that she have plain
painted walls instead of a nursery
wall paper. Paint will wash more
easily, and unless the design is def
n1tely for a boy it will eventually be
labeled as sissy" Given a large
bulletin board and the privilege of
picking his own pictures, it will be
decorated 70 his taste.
Will some one please tell me how
to remove caSein paint from painted
WOODWORK? 1t was spotted when the
room was painted and not washed
on Immediately, and now it seems to
be impossible to remove, short of US
ing sandpaper.
l would also like luncheon menus.
somewhat partified, for from six to
eight women, something that doesn't
