In almost any normal
house there are things which
annoy the owners and which
never seem to be attended
to and corrected. One of the
chief items is the drawer
in the dresser, bureau, or ia
BILE which sticks and can only
be opened after a major
struggle.
When such a drawer is left
half opened so as to avoid
the struggle, it contributes
to the effect of disorder and
poor housekeeping.
Practically all drawers are
built or manufactured along
the same basic lines. The
front and sides are more or
less substantial and the back
and bottom of lighter wood.

A. Today, mixing periods is
a common occurrence. To
shift disparate elements into
a more unified effect. I could
select a contemporary pat
tern fabric for the draperies,
one that has a blue ground
(of wallis with beige and a
fresh leafy breen or citron
yellow in the design. Cover
the dining chairs in a solid
green or yellow.
@. Attic space was utilized
as a bedroom for our two
young sons. Partially slanted
walls are aqua, low ceiling

lemma about redecorating my
small living-dining room. The
rug is a cardinal red with
raspberry flecks Swedish
type. At present, walls are
gray. I thought to repeat this,
but I noticed this color is
not being shown.
A. If it is right for you,
this is the only real consid-
Grafton you should have when
selecting a color. Since red
is a very strong color and
your area is small, a soft
pearly gray would tone down
the aggressive" quality of
red.

work properly, and the sand
ing need not take off more
than one-Sixteenth of an inch
or so of the wood. After
this is done, a stick of wax
should be applied to the edge
as a lubricant.
In some unusual cases the
drawer will swell so that the
entire sides rub against the
borders of the recess, and in
these situations they, too,
must be sanded off and then
waxed.
Il the entire inside and
outside of a drawer excluding
the front, are Shellacked, it
will help to prevent the alb
sorbing of moisture and the
consequent swelling.

By DOUGLAS TUoMEY

When dampness or warp
ing upset the close fit which
a drawer should have, the
trouble is usually found to
be that the sides of the
drawer bind against the top
and bottom of the recess in
which they slide.
Naturally, the first step is
to get the drawer out, no
matter what hard work it
may be. The second step is
to sand down the top edges.
1t would be just as good to
sand off the lower edges but
the tops are easier to get at.
In all except the very
cheapest and poorest types
of furniture, this will ease
the drawer enough to have it
