BY Margaret No,UeU

First of all, spread a mat of news
papers under ana around the table
Arm yourself with a wide -bladed
putty knife, big wad of fine steel
wool, plenty of old soft cloths. and
pair of gloves to protect the hands.
To remove the old finish there is
a varnish remover that is very easy
to use. 1t is not highly inhammable
does not have the penetrating odor
OF most and has a gelatinous base
SO that it does not have a tendency
to run and drip In all directions
one OF the worst difficulties to be
overcome by the amateur.
Paint the whole top OF the table
with the remover, laying it on gen.
erously with an old paint brush.
Permit it to remain for about 10
minutes when you will notice the
finish begins to lift. Slide the wide
bladed putty knife under the finish,
running it across the table top with
the grain Of the wood The finish
will peel of in rolls which may be
wiped of the knife on newspapers.
1t is most important to work with
the grain as stroke across grain
may leave a deep scar which will
have to be sanded out. After re-
moving the first layer, repeat the
process to get the last remaining
bits of finish. Then paint on a
third coat of remover and wipe it off
with coarse clean cloths. The whole
top may be scrubbed with the cloths
saturated with the remover. Then
give it half an hour to dry.
When dry the wood will look clean

Round About the House

A dining room table which spots
with either heat or water is nui-
sance. A correspondent writes:
Please advise me on home treat
ment for a dining room table to
make it both heatproof and water
proof"
A year or so ago We would have
said, IF you really want table top
proof against all marks, 1t would
be wise to send the table out and
have it professionally lacquered ;"
But, today, there is very little lacquer
available-it will be several months
before the job may be completed
and lacquering, at home, by an in
experienced person. is seldom sue
cessful. After the table top has
been prepared for the lacquering, it
should be sprayed on, in three sue
cessive coats, with sanding between
each application. All of this de-
mands a dustless workshop and
special equipment. So we are sub
stituting home treatment that is
very simple and will preserve good
looking table until such time as ma
terials and workmen are available
for the lacquered surface.
Though our reader asks for advice
on a maple table, this process may
be worked out on any kind of wood
and with sheaf of newspapers
handy the table will not need to be
moved from the dining room. If it
is started after breakfast the table
may be used in time for dinner. With
a bit of additional rubbing on sew
eral ensuing days the finish will
be built up to the desired brilliance.

and parched, and any bit of old
finish will be apparent Remove this
by rubbing with a pad of steel wool
until the wood surface is clear. Then
wipe over the top with a cloth soaked
in wood alcohol to remove the last
vestige of remover. Leave the table
in a well aired room for half an
hour.
The second process is the applica-
ton OF lnseed Oil. Dip pad of
cloth into saucer of the oil. Rub
it into the table top generously, rub
bing with the grain. Let 1t stand 10
minutes, and then polish with heavy,
folded woolen cloths The harder
this surface is rubbed the better viii
the polish become. Linseed oil
should be applied and rubbed in
daily for about five applications.
This feeds the whole surface of the
wood, brings out the beauty of the
grain and is a preservative in itself.
The third process is the applica-

Stage, Off-Stage
Fashions Star
At National

At the opening Of "Oklahoma,"
our audience fashion" vote went to
the new short dinner dresses. Most
were black with the gleam of beads,
the glitter of sequins. Probably the
smartest short theater dress in the
house was two-toned beauty with
black skirt and cap-sleeved TOP of
fuchsia crepe stagger striped in
black sequins. Another example of
the chic Of the short dress had
long-sleeved top shimmering all
over with silver rain-like beaded
fringe.

dress-if you have to fend for your

short dinner dress in black with
halter-necklace of the same mate

with fuchsia gloves to match whop-
ping jeweled earrings. The same
dress was equally effective on an
attractive gray-haired theater-goer

combined them all with staggering
effect. There were hard pinks,
strong turquoises, yellows, blues,
combined throughout in both the
mems and women's costumes. Miles
White, the costume designer for

end-of-century costumes in colors
that were almost binding in their
brightness. There were high busted
wee-wsisted, bustle-skirted dresses
and suits in one color, finished of

and neckbands Of a contrasting

figure. ~
BY the by. on the subject of wool
jerseys, this fabric has been the big
hit OF the woods. For its soft drapa-
BILE quality and the things it does
for a figure, it has won the love OF
the ladies who also like the way
wool jersey holds its press. Wear
it through dinner and when you
get up to dance, there probably
won't be wrinkles. All this in addi-
ton to the fact that wool Jersey Is
a fine cold defer. ...
Sometimes small details dress I'D
an otherwise perfectly simple dress
such as a lovely pastel wool with
scalloped yoke. scalloped sleeves
and winking jewel-centered buttons.
In fact, many of the woods achieve
a gala look via jeweled buttons,
which should give you makeover
conservationists bright idea for
last years wool dress. While you're
at it, add to the effect by buying
two extra matching buttons for ear
rings.
Woods can be frankly seductive,
too-in case you're interested. We
saw a pink wool jersey the other
day that's strictly one for the
glamour department-long sleeves,
v neck and a strategically placed
waistline insert of matching bugle
beads.
Another pink pretty-and one
that gets our vote for its very new
look. is short-sleeved dinner dress
with scooped-out low neckline, a
tie sash of black velvet and gold
heart that's posed over yours and
pierced with small black ribbon.
In pastels, this little number Is
definitely something for the boys.
Something from the boys is the
wool dinner suit with short wool
dinner jacket-complete to flower
in the buttonhole. What the boys
never thought of is the halter dickey
that goes with tall white and
afire with rhinestones.

Woods Are Party>Prettv

This year an old trouper sneaked
in and stole the fashion show. We're
talking about the dressy little wool
dress. It's the hit Of the season and
the newest thing to wear to a party.
Wool, OF course, has always been 4
quality material and a standby Of
the well-dressed woman, but this
year-with conservation OF fabric,
cold houses and stuff-we've come
to value it anew for its drapability,
wearing qualities and warmth. In

deed, this year wool is even going
partying.
Most Of the Big Name" designers
made a great to-do about dressup
wools in their fall collections. There
were short dinner and theater cos
tunes made Of wool, some depend
ing on drape, others relying on
dazzle for their dressup look. All
looked as though they'd abet con-
quest as well as comfort.
Keep your eye peeled, then, for
woods when you start shopping for
a new date and party dress. See the
ones with soft ruf11y necklines that
definitely aim to fatter. Others,
like the gem we have photographed.
have exquisitely simple lines that do
for your figure everything you want
a dress to do. The flattering bow
neckline dress abounds-and a good
thing, too, because this style is al
most universally becoming. Our par
ticular pet is one that comes in
neon-bright colors, has shirred front
fullness and mirror buttons down
the front. If you want something
very new and individual, we recon-
