NEW METHOD 0F PRINTING 1 UPHOLSTERY FABRICS l _.___

NEW YORK — A new method has been patented for printing fa- brics for upholstery. The back- ground color is printed in separate sections designed to fit in exactly the different parts of a chair. Dec- orative motifs are centred in the seat and hack sections, and small- er scale versions of the same mo- iifs are printed on the arms.

GOT A YEN TO PAINT? THEN HERE'S SOME ADVICE

it also makes a difference whether . or not your furniture will be shield- ed from the sun and rain.

For furniture that. will spend the summer on s covered porch, wheth- er it be wood. wicker or rattan, flat paint or enamel will be suit- able. If the old finish is in good condition, a single coat. will be enough. Flat paint has the better hiding quality but. enamel makes a more durable and washable fin- lsh. If you are in doubt about the number of coats, use a flat paint first. adding a second coat of flat or enamel.

If you are painting metal porch furniture for the first time, use a

zecial metal primer to prevent cor- rosion. On a repainting job be sure to take off all the rust with sandpaper or steel wool. Touch up these spots- preferably with red lead or the paint you are plan- ning to use for the finishing coat. Two coats of exterior enamel is best for a good weather-resistant finish.

Wicker pieces on which you wish to retain the natural finish should be covered with one or two coats o! good varnish. Spar varnish is especially recommended for either wicker or plain wood if the furni- ture is likely to get left in the rain.

Spraying paint on wicker is simpler than brushing it on and paint specially prepared is avail- able. Spray painting equipment can be rented.

Wooden garden furniture needs two coats of paint and the prelim- LXIBIlBS of washing. rinsing and drying are important. If the old finish is in bad condition brush it with a wire brush, scrape off the loose particles and run it down ulth medium sandpaper. If the surface has cracked and scaled. use a paint or varnish remover and follow with a priming coat.

..

Where the old finish is glossy wash with a solution of one pound sal soda to a gallon of water. Ind rinse.

The easy way of dOlflg it, accord- ing to the experts, is to turn the chairs and tables upside down and paint the legs first. Then do the backs and the seats.

pluined.

"They're the second unpleasant sight I've seen today. From a morgue to snakes, which is tvorse?"

"A morgue?"

"Yes. I had to identify a man."

She explained about Jacques Renault, As she taikctl, his blue eyes studied her anxiously, but shc had the (lQllflllC impression that he was really not surprised at. the news.

“Too bad", he commented. “The little French wciiicr with the nld- fashioned gozilce, vh? I rcmcnibcr him. Do you know who killed him?"

\Vas her imagination plnlin’: tricks on her, or did Stacy Cor- bin really seem relieved?

An erratit breeze caught Stacy and blew it across his eyes. Hc pushed it back, grinning at Lotus.

“So you don't like snakes?"

"Most people don't," she ges- tured toward the boa, which had raised‘ its deadly, scaly head and seemed to be peering at them angrily, “and judging from his expression, snakes dont like peo- ple."

"What do they eat?"

"Anything alive! suppose, But what they get are frogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. Theyre fed every two weeks."

“The other one doesn't seem as energetic," she observed.

The larger of the pair had not altered its position since the cage had been lowered. He permitted his mate to slide across his own coils without resistence. Stacy gave it a speculative glance.

“He's probably still under the effect of the drug. I understood they were to be given a shot of something to make them easier to handle."

When they were in the car again he turned and stared direc- tly into her eyes. Evidently what he saw there pleased him, "Have you any plans for Mardi Gras, Rosa?”

"None at all. Chloe tells me this is one night of the year when the Cafe remains closed. She likes to get out and watch the parades and excitement herself."

"Then come with me—”

"Where?"

“Oh. we'll go places and do things. I want you with me. You see, this is my first Mardi Gras, too. I'm a transplanted Northern- er and I'm still not quite onto all the customs, Come along and be my moral support."

She hesitated. Did she dare leave Chloe's house? The cafe was closed-Balch would not be ap- pearing tonight and if Stu Inw- rence had further need of her he would have told her so that morn- ing.

Woman Who’ Slaps tirylng Infant To Sllom Is Devoid of Maternal instincts

DEAR MISS DIX: We have two children, a. little boy four years old and s. baby girl one month old. People are always telling me that l will kill my little boy if I don't stop treating him the way I do. I do not like children to cry and I slap him if he starts crying. If he doesn't stop. I slap him again. Then if he-continues to cry, I slap him and shake him. I don't let him sob as it makes him sick at his stomach. I-le is a nervous-type child and gets tired

I love my children, but they must mind.

MR8. M. O. M.

ANSWER: If you are not trying’ to kill yoiu little 4-year-old boy by beating him up, what's the big idea in slapping him down again and again

All small children cry. They can't charge stating their grievances

against the ones who misuse them, and crying is the

onlv way they can say that they are hungry, or cold, or in pain. Every mother who loves her children is clairvoyant. enough to interpret their trails and do something to make the poor little creatures more comfort-

Cetrtainiy you must be a woman who is a sadist by nature if you slap down your poor, little, carved. nervous boy every time he cries and give him an extra shake when he tries to stifle his tears that die away in subs.

That didn't affect us either. Would it be

better for us not to touch hard liquor at all because we never know

"Whewi" Jamie at a kitchen window, ex- claimed. as he watched dry leaves being hurled thither and yon this morning in restless whirling masses. He laughed when Pard, in surprise; fled hurriedly before them. Then glancing toward a maple. almost bare of its foliage, “They're pretty nearly all off that one" he said with evident regret, then turning away added "but

there‘ll be new ones there next spring." He chose s warm corner of the stable during the milking, and later when every cat and Pard had been fed, and all of our early chorlng ended, we came gratefully through the gusty breezes to the warm shelter of the kichen. And presently it was a lonely place, when with Jock the two had gone to their day's work up at the other farm. There oblivious to either

night or biting winds, cozy indoors

in the new cellar, they continued the potato grading. O O O
