In this way the badly worn and black spots of the or iginal- floor are first covered up en- tirely by . means of the ground coat. Then the new finish is stained and treated in an entirely new color which will conform with the decorations planned. In nearly every room there will be found one or two pieces of furniture which need renewing. These pieces can be easily brightened up with a number of different finishes, which can be purchased from your local deal er. Take, as an example, the wicker chair which was priglnally light in color, but has now become badly spotted and worn. This can be treat ed-with - one coat of stain, which will change -thp color, and give it a new brilliancy ahd new 'life. Oftentimes a coat of varnish on pieces of furni ture, after first sanding them, can be ■ followed with rubbing with pumlce- . stone and oil, and will produce won derful results. The greatest pleasure of re-decorating, of course, comes when we have the walls, woodwork, and -floors all finished, and reach the point .of bringing in "the furniture, hanging the draperies, arranging the pictures, etc. This, of course, is a very important part of the work, since the arrangement of furnishings will very easily make or mar any room. Do not hastily place things about the room. Use some definite plan In all of this work. Use great care in hang ing tho pictures, grouping similar sub jects together, and having some varie ty in size on the different walls. The pictures should be arranged so that there is a perfect balance on each wall. This can be easily experiment ed with until the position of each pic ture seems to satisfy one in every re spect. .Oftentimes a wonderful im provement.: can bp wrought in one's 'rooms by eliminating-superfluous bric- a-brac, pictures, etc. Avoid overcrowd ing in the furnishings. SIo•*! Cooking Best. In these days of quick living, it is well to remember that, in cooking, only a slow and even tedious process can bring about the best Tesults, for. -gradually cooked food is at once more ■palatable and digestible than the rap Idly cooked kind. •■Tt’'cannot be too often impressed upoir.a cook that slow methods soften the connective tissue of meats, develop their flavor, and render their consist- epey /more agreeable.
