A good deal depends on what kind

of wood you have to deal with as to how you treat it, For instance oak is a wood which needs quits a lot of oil rubbed into it, to keep it looking rich and dark, with those ,lovely golden lights showing hero and there. So if you have oak fur- niture, after the washing process have some linseed oil, and with a soft cloth rub this well into the wood all over. Do not try to polish the wood straight away. but leave it for about an hour and then pol- ish it. You will be delighted to sas how rich the wood looks. By the ,way, remember that it is not neces- ,sary to use a lot of furniture pol- ish or cream; in fact, to do so de. feats your own ends, for it gives a heavy, bluish look.

Walnut, rosewood, mahogany, or,

in fact, any other polished woods, will all respond well to a washing

John Sawyer appeared almost at

“Of course it is," Sawyer return-

“I told Mr.-Sturges he was taking °hl-“°¢. Diddy." she explained. the

"A foolish habit at best." He sensed the man sitting opposite was All at ease despite his calm demeanor, and plunged briskly into conversation.

"Mfrs Sawyer was exceedingly

kind to me this evening. I took the liberty of asking her to ding with mo, but she told ma she must come home and feed her family. I couldnt resist asking if I might come too I’ve been eating in hotels and rea. tnuranta for so long that I wanted the sensation of sitting down to a real family table."

"I know." Sawyer agreed. "It is a

great treat when one has been . . away from homa for p time."

Mark changed the theme twbfully.

To the subject that held a com- mon intcnest. .

"I have been receiving some very

nies reports about Misa 5awyer's work down at thostcro. I suspect that she's too modest to tell you, but Smory Stewart is very enthus- iastic about the things she ia doing for him. I think she displays vary imusual talent for s, girl of har age. Tha departimnt is fortunate in hav- ing ber services."

Sturges was quick to catch the pet

"She would," he agreed. “But you

Peggy Sawyer stood in the dining

"I'1l bet Mis Joan sent you in

seated himself on the couch and patted its seat invitlngiy. "I should think you'd bring your baby over here and let me see her."

“She's 1 new one," Madge con-

“Bhe‘s beautiful. What ‘name

have you given her?"

T‘Nanette." “Of course. It's a pretty name."

He inspected. the toy with interest, then. looked over at the door. "That’s a clever bit of wood-carv- ing. Your work?"

."A friend." John, Sawyer explain-

cd'brleily_ » "I like her.” Mark assured Madge, “But I think you‘d better hold her for me. I'm not much used tc bab-

wouldn’t do. Did you know I have two sisters? I have."

Peggy shyly helped .herself to I.

seat at his side to listen.

"Their names are Elizabeth and

Mary Ellen. Both of them are oldsr than I and they’ve bossed me ter- ribly, ever amos I can remember. Does your big sistr boss you?" ha asked of Peggy, lowering his voice.

"No . . . no, slr. Not very much.” "Then you're lucky. I’ve always

believed that/s what big sisters were made for."

“Jean’s always makin' me wash,"

Madge contributed hopefully.

“I knew lt. Behind your ears, I

"Ah-huh." "I know all about that. For some
