scriptions to any magazine pub
lished. Their orders usually are
cleared through one large pub
Usher at the same subscription
rates you would pay when order
ing directly from the publisher OF
each magazine. The dealer will
have the current price list for sew
eral hundred well known and less
known periodicals. You probably
already know that Child Life is

There is another excellent chill
drens' periodical that may interest
you: "Children's Play Mate" for
the 3 to 10 group. Another popular
one is "Children's Activities" for
those 2 to IL. found while oper-
ating my news agency that most
progressive parents subscribed to
at least two Of these magazines.
They are certainly worth while
and definitely are we'll edited by
excellent stats.
You would be amazed to know
how many different good periodi-
Gals are published. There is one of
particular interest to every type of
personality. Flower Grower" for
the flower pot lobbyist. "Connois-
seur"" for the art lover (think how
nice this would be as a gift for an
artistic person who seldom has the
time or opportunity to visit GAL
leries). There Is Gourmet" for
every one who likes good food

cipes, tips on serving and table

vantage to business men, sport

PAINTING PIANO.
From Mrs. d. p, WdshingtonJ
To Mrs. w. E. L. Of Washing
ton: To paint your old piano: UI
presume 1t is varnished).
We purchased at a paint store
liquid which when rubbed on
with q rag gently makes the
old vanished surface sticky SO
that your new paint will stick.
The directions come on the can
and you work on small areas,
painting as soon as the bonding
liquid Is applied. Then we applied
2 coats Of nat paint and 2 coats
Of high grade semi-gloss enamel,
allowing each coat to dry
thoroughly. We didn't want too
much gloss, thus the semi-gloss
enamel. The finished product is
very satisfactory. If you do not
care to try the bonding liquid you
could use one OF the aluminium
paints, although the bonding
liquid Is quicker and cheaper.
