WOMAN’S PAGE.' Worth of Veneered Furniture BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘WOOD USED FOR ORNAMENTAL VENEERING IS CUT TO BRING OUT THE BEAUTY OF THE GRAIN OF WOOD AND BURLS. One of the choicest of all kinds of furniture is that in which veneer ap- * pears. ‘This may consist of inset pieces of wood, thin layers of ivory, mother of pearl, tortoise shell or metals, such as gold, silver, copper, etc. But with the exception of veneer of wood other terms are apt to be used as inlaid furniture, buhl work, etc., rather than veneered furniture. 1t is well to appreciate the merit and worth of veneered furniture, for other- wise that called solid, such as solid ma- hogany, rosewood, ebony, walnut, etc., may be estimated of greater value. This is not the case when veneer is employed as ornamentation, or because of the rare beauty of the sections. It is true only when cheap wooden furniture is overlaid with veneer to give an effect of costliness, in which case there is so little fine wood to so much poor that the price can well be lower just as the standard of the furniture is lower. It is because of such use of veneer that the term “solid mahogany” and other fine woods have gained prestige with those unfamiliar with the significance of the word and processes of veneering. The beauty of veneered furniturs consists in the contrast of colors of wood and in the marvelous effects in graining brought out by the special way in which the wood is cut. Various de- scriptive names are given to effects such as heart, crotch, branch, feather, etc. When the wood is sawed straight through a tree trunk, the heart of the wood makes a circle, oval or similar contour surrounded by rings clearly de- fined. Marvelous feathery effects are pro- {duced by different ways in which the wood is sawed. Sharp crotches may appear and contrasting colors branch off from sides of the boards or at an- gles. It is impossible to get similar effects in wood that is not sawed to bring them out. When knots in wood are sawed for veneering the wood is called burled and is very choice. Wood for venecring purposes cut in thip sheets and glued to the foundation wood cannot have the same beauty of graining because the way the wood is sawed for veneering necessitates its coming in comparatively small pieces. Furniture made of solid pieces of wood cannot have the same beauty found in veneered pieces, since the framework of furniture takes large boards, and wood sawed as described can be hed only in sections too small or too delicate for substantial articles. It is easy to detect whether veneer is used to overlay cheap wood or is em- ployed for ornament. If the former, the grain is not remarkable for its beauty, and large pieceg will be used. ‘This means that the price can be less for veneered furniture than for articles made of the same costly wood used “solid.” If the veneer shows beauty of graining and is used in com- paratively small pleces covering sec- tions of furniture, or inset in contrast- ing wood, it is used not to reduce cost, but for beauty, and it will increase the value of the articles.

February 2, 1857—President - elect Buchanan completed the business which brought him to Washingion today and will leave tomorrow morning to return to his residence at Wheatland. Although there have been all sorts of rumors about the new cabinet, it is understood on good authority that Mr. Buchanan has made no finzl decisions with regard to any membel Dur- ing his brief sojourn in this city he has reccived visits from nearly every prominent Democrat now in the Fed- eral metropolis and listened with frank and cordial attention to whatever they had to tell him concerning public men and pub'ic affair: In this way Mr. Buchanan has ob- tained much’ information _concerning the_leaders of his party and the views of his political friends in all sections of the Union. A great deal of this in- formation will doubtless be of material service to hinr in the cabinet and the determin: fundamental policies of his administra- tion, which will face many questions of a delicato- nature and of the deepest et. importance to the future of the countr; .

Those who have been clos2 to him during hi isit here believe that he has now na rowed down that list to 15 or 18 men | from whom he will choose his cabinet. Plans are being completed for the inaugural ceremonics, to be held on the 4th day of next month.

Skating was the order of the day for the children and of the evening for the grown-ups. The young folks in the neighborhood had begged Nancy and Peter to go over to the pond with the rest of the skaters. Then the whole group ended at Lois and Roger's home tor.n fire to warm themselves by and a hot drink to refresh themselves with. Lois‘ had made hot chocolate. It was rich, deliciously so, but even the diet- ng members of the group passed back their mugs for a second helping. Nancy could not help but remark on its differ- ence from the cocoa she had made for the Lacey children that afternoon. Children’ should never be given rich foods like chocolate, but a weak cocoa made almost entirely with milk is quite suitable. The next morning she and Lois com- pared recipes. Here is the one for chocolate: 11, ounces or squares bitter chocolate, 14 cup sugar, few grains salt, 1 cup boiling water, 3 cups top milk, 1 inch stick cinnamon, whipped cream. Put milk in double boiler to heat. Cut chocolate In small pieces, melt carefully, add salt, stick cinnamon and sugar and water. Beil for 5 minutes. Add to hot milk, remove cinnamon and beat well. Serve with a spoonful of whipped cream on top. The cocoa called for 2 tablespoons cocoa, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 cup boiling water, 3 cups milk. few grains salt, few drops vanilla. Mix cocoa and sugar, add hot water and salt. Cook for 5 minutes. Heat milk in upper part of double boiler, add cocoa paste te it. Beat well and serve. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HIL.

If milliners were as eager* to restore the fashion for elaborately trimmed hats as they seemed to be a few seasons ago, then they should have left off the jeweled and metal hat ornaments which smart women so often choose in preference to any other bit of adorn- ment.

The Monroes possessed wealth and social distinction, and in the diplo- matic service had cultivated a taste for the luxuries of European courts. To furnish the White House, the President had imported furniture and decorations of the Empire style. The great crowd at the reception marveled at the grand- eur of the new mansion with its rich French !umlsl{iregs, exquisite china and heav; lver plate. Thyc First Lady, Eliza Kortright Mon- roe, daughter of a New York society man and former British army officer, was described as being “thoroughly schooled in the social graces of the period.” A New Year reception at the President’s residence is portrayed in a cotemporary letter written by a Mrs. Tuley of Virginia: “Mr. Monroe was standing near the door and as we were introduced we had the honor of shaking hands with him and passing the usual congratulations. jons of Mr. Monroe are very He is tall and well formed s lain and in the old style. small clothes, silk hose, knee buckles and pumps fastened with buckles. “We passed on and were presented to Mrs. Monroe and her daughters, Mrs. Hay and Mrs. Gouverneur, Mrs. Mon- roe’s manner is very gracious and she is a regal looking lady.

After four troublous years in the presi- dency, he was to be a commanding fig- ure in Congress—disliked but admired by political adversaries for 17 more years until his dramatic collapse in harness, falling to the floor with a stroke of paralysis as he began a speech in the House of Representatives, Feb- ruary 19, 1848. Two days later death ended his remarkable career. Adams’ daily regime as an occupant of the White House called for a virility rivaling that of the rough-riding Roose- velt, modern .exponent of the “strenu- ous life.” On May 1, 1825, he wrote in his diary: “Since my removal to the presidential mansion, I rise about 5, read two chap- ters of Scott’s Bible and Commentary then the morning newspapers and pub- lic papers from the scveral departments, breakfast an hour from 9 to 10; then have a succession of visitors, upon busi- ness, in search of a place, solicitors for donations, or for mere curiosity from 11 until between 4 and 5 o'clock. “Between 4 and 6, I take a walk ‘of three or four miles. Dine from half past 5 until 7 o'clock, and from dark until about 11 pass the evening in my chamber, signing land grants or blank patents, in the interval of which for the last 10 days I have brought up three months arrears in my diary index.’ An entry in the diary, made in July, records that he rises from 4 to 5:30; spends two hours swimming in the Po- tomac, and then reads; breakfasts from 8 until 9, receives visitors until 4 or 5; dines from 5 until 6, plays billiards from 6 until 8 and retires about 8 or 9 o'clock. He writes that he suffered intensely from the extreme heat of a Washington Summer. This did not prevent work in the early morning or evening in h garden and long horseback rides with his son. One of the big social affairs of the eriod was the ball given at the Adams home in January, 1824, in honor of Gen. Jackson on the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, Adams then was Sccretary of State under President Monroe, and the bitter political enmity between him and “Old Hickory” had not yet developed. A New York news- paper of the time gives this description of the fete: “At 9 o'clock Gen. Jackson entered the room and with great dignity and gracefulness of manner escorted Mrs. Adams tirough the apartments, He was in a plain citizen’s dress, and appeared 'remarkably well, saluting and receiving the congratulations of his friends with his usual urbanity and afability,’ enough to reach to the bottom of the apron.
