it was dry so that the wood fin
ish shows through.
She and her husband redid the
floors in the house.
Most of the furniture in the
house has been in Mrs. Shantz'
family for generations. Mr..
Shantz, a retired stock broker,
who is now committing magis-
trate at the Silver Spring police
court, is chief furniture refinish-
er.
The floors throughout the
house are covered with crocheted
rugs that Mrs. Shantz has made
of old clothes. One of the novel
features of the living room is a
little table painted with figures
and sayings to illustrate the
Shantzs' trip to Holland.
Another international item is
a little stained glass window from
Denmark, which Mrs. Shantz'
mother bought on a recent trip
there. An authentic American
spinning wheel is also part of the
living room furniture.
Mr. Shantz is proudest of his
contribution to the furniture-an
early ladder-backed chair in the
enclosed porch off the living
room. 1t had been covered with
inoleum and he rescued it from
a relatives trash pile, peeled off
the linoleum and discovered the
ladder,back. Now, refinished and
with the seat recovered, it has
a place of honor.
Mrs Shantz' "crazy" ideas, as
she calls them, have made the
home unique. The dominating
piece in the pine-panelled taproom
is a huge black cast iron stove,
now used as a serving bar. "And
when the electricity goes off and
we can't use our electric stove,
we can still cook on this" she
says.
The same spirit kept her from
blocking off the old pump on
porch behind the kitchen. She
painted it blue and set pots of
flowers in it, but it still pumps
water.
Throughout the house, Mrs.
Shantz has decorated rafters and
doorWays with lines from the
Bible or from old Methodist
hymns. For instance, the cover of
the fuse box says, "Let the Low
er Lights be Burning" A full
length mirror is topped with
"Seek Ye the Truth"
Her kitchen, pine panelled with
aqua trim, houses up-to-date elec-
trical appliances. But it still re-
tainS the old-time flavor with
ham-covers and sheaves of tobac-
co tackled on the walls.
The bedrooms are also in the
early American tradition, with
touches of Mrs. ShantZ' mottos.
The quilt on their bed was made
of bits of dresses worn by Mrs.
Hardy as a girl.
a small bedroom which the
Shantzes' 8-year-old grandson
uses on his visits to Peaceful Val.
ley has scenes of children play.

Currently, the Shantzes are in

stairs into a sewing room and
a studio, in addition to the bed
room it now contains. Up here,
Mrs. Shantz plans to put into

These things she thinks up
