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.

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.

Cf-IARLOTTETOWN toonomr mx SA YS— Unmotherlike Mother 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- able. SADISTIC CONDUCT 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. If it is any pleasure to you to know that you are ruining his whole nervous system by your conduct. make the most of it, for I don't think he will bother you very long. DEAR.

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 I was glad we had completed the digging, happy too in the cool- ness prevailing that many an- other outdoor tdsk had been done in the recent spell of lovely weath- er. There had been the apple pick- ing -the Golden Russets. the white fleshed Fameuse, and the larger variety which we call the Winter Bough.

Not all of the vegetables have been harvested. a rite at Alderlea WlllCh depends upon the last of the turnip storing.

O O O Among other seasonal chores, and a most beguiling one st that, the early flowering bulbs had been planted. Only in a modest quan- tity and selection o! course, but enough if the coming seasons be kind, to give a gay and colorful welcome to Spring. I. myself had attended to this, one morning in holiday time and again on an af- ternoon with smali grand-daughter when the rest of the family were away at the dioxins. skies were softly smiling then, winds were mere zephyrs and sun glints that challenged ones gaze adorned the mill pond below the front meadow.
