The moment he stepped on board he seemed to become an altered man. "Where might you be wanting to go?" he asked. "You'll need them oil- "I want to run out to the Bishop Lighthouse," Granet announced.

Most of us will sigh in vain for the new, but there is no reason why all of us can not have the unmarred after the children get by the climbing stage and have been taught that made to be set upon, and net as step ladders. Renovating old furniture is not a task which calls for much cleverness nor for much strength. Its demand is for time and infinite patience. Of course, by this time you have learned for yourself the folly of buying varnished, bright, shiny furniture. The only sort for the busy woman with children is the dull, waxed finish. This is not bard to put on and is much easier to keep looking nice. Its beauty increases with its age, the frequent waxing and polishing deepening the rich tones of the finish. Perhaps you bought cane seated dining-room chairs, and the seats have long since acquired a sag, or perhaps given up the struggle altogether. You want a dining-room suite that looks like one of those fifteen hundred dollar ones marked down to three hundred and ninety-nine, which the stores are picturing so alluringly in their advertisements. The only thing for you to do, probably, is to make your old one look as near like it as possible. The first step in the process cf renovating is to take off the old varnish. There are various ways of doing this. One is to apply a thick paste of gold dust and water, and after the well soaked up, scrape it off with a coarse wire brush which paint shops sell fer this purpose. A better way is to buy varnish remover, apply it with a brush, and then remove with a bread spatula. Directions fer using the var-come with the can. Before removing the varn;sh it is advisable to take off the old seats from f the chairs, and all the ginvjarbread hich decorations frcm sideboard or buffet and table. The new idea in furni is simplicity. So if yours 'is trimmed with attached curleycues remove them all, and be repaid by the. less of useless dust catchers. The varnish having been removed, ^j-^kd next step is to apply a coat of stain. If your furniture is of cak it is better to select a stain suited to this wood. There are several s -its Io choose from, golden, fumed, ml^icn. A walnut stain could be used, but a; the grain of t're wood is so different you would be uisappointed without a doubt. After the stain, the wax is applied. This should be in paste form. To apply, fold a y»jd square of cheese-cloth twice to nrakl^a smaller square, put a generous tableepoon of wax in the centre so that four thicknesses of cloth will come between it and the wood, twist the corners together, and holding the wax like a ball in the band rub the wax into the wood. This will take time and patience, but the result is satisfactory enough to repay you for the work done. After the finish is completed ember to always polish with dust cloth dipped in liquid wax. Do not use oiled cloths. Oil is the thing for varnished furniture, but for waxed floors or furniture nothing but may be used. After the furniture is waxed the question of new seats for the chairs arises. For the farm family undoubtedly real leather seats are more satisfactory. There is a temptation to the beauty-loving woman to choose tbe tapestries or velours which are so lovely in show windows, but unless the men of the family can be trained to change their work clothes to Sunday best before every meal, the result will be fatal to the chairs. Leather is easily cleaned. Spots can be wiped off with a chamois wrung out of warm soap sudis,, and the leather must be immediately rubbed 1 cloth.
