RUG
PATIO?

mrs. J. E. H., Alexandria,
To Mrs. S. w. G.. of Wash
ington who wanted to know
about carpets. When I bought
my carpets about four years
ago, ! was given a booklet
called Better Buymanship.
Use and Care, Floor Cover
ings." 1t is published by House.
hold Finance Corp, 919 North
Michigan avenue, Chicago II,
Illinois, and they only ask 5
cents to cover mailing costs. I
found 1t we'll worth the money
inasmuch as it explains all the
facts and you can draw your
own conclusions as to which is
best.
Now my question-has any
one any suggestion as to how
to shade a screened patio? My
husband and I want to build a
patio in the rear of our house,
but do not want a regular roof
tied to the roof of the house.
We would like a screened top
with some sort of shade to
draw when the sun hits the
patio. The size will be about
16 feet by "a feet. We have
thought of bamboo, awnings.
ETC., but would like to know if
any one else has solved the
problem of weight and expense.
In case I haven't made it clear,
this will be a covering for the
top of the patio-not along the
sides.

TO PAINT OR PAPER?
TWO RUG PROBLEMS?

mrs. I. II. E., SilUer Spring.
We have recently purchased
q new home which has plaster
board walls and we have been
advised by a friend that we
should paint it rather than
wall paper. Has any one had
any experience with this
problem?
would also like to know if
it is advisable to put a fiber
rug directly down on a ce-
ment basement floor or should
We put something under it?
And last, I have gray rug
and wondered about dying it
with some home product that
I can use myself. They are
large rugs.

ANTIQUE CHAIRS;
GENEALOGY.
mrs. J. A. H., Arlington)

(MfS. y. n. H. ATtLHyLOIL
A good friend had great sue
cess in removing old finish
from antique chairs by mixing
together equal parts Of lye and
cornstarch with enough water
to form a paste. Do this in a
bucket and apply with long
handled brush. using rubber
gloves and careful of eyes, etc.
allow to stand between ap-
plicationS if more than one is
needed. Wash thoroughly with
clear water. It is advisable to
do the whole process outdoors.
After the furniture was
thoroughly dry. paste wax was
applied and rubbed in to achieve
q nice satiny finish. No other
finish is necessary as the ORR
ginal wood is usually very nice.
Now for a request: I would
like to have a family geneal-
ogy traced and have heard
there is a service available To-
cally. Can your readers give
me this information?
