If the pattern runs in a decided direction it 1s far better to “scrub” in a rellef, for it can scarcely be called one thing or another, Take the brozd side of tHe “point” and move rapidly from left to right, literally scrub along, and the result will be a light and dark effect, particularly desirable for fully two-thirds of poker work. Another excellent ground which obtains an even tone over the entire surface is lines burned at sharp angles to each other. Instead of working up and down or left and right all the time each set of four or five lines are blended, one into another, but so evenly In tone that they merge Into & smooth, dark ground. In putting in the finishing touches don’t begrudge the time and patience expended, for any glaring dot or error takes away the finish of the article. If you have the wood and intend pencil- ing the design yourself, the first thing to decide is whether you want the pattern to show dark against the background, or instead to darken the ground, in order to have the flowers or figures stand out in light tones upen it. In a way this is of eome importance, for if you fancy the lat- ter ecourse the stalks or branches, in case it is a flower pattern, must be drawn in double outline, so that each line becomes part ‘of the ground when you fill it in, otherwise all the stalk will be merged in the background. In all instances light upon dark is the most effective method, although if you ere but a beginner you will find-it much more difficult, for greater care is re- quired to shade the flowers, as you can’t cover mistakes by teuching it up a bit here and there, and a dot or unsightly scratch on a white petal would ‘be de- THE SUNDAY €ldedly less glaring if the other method ‘were used. s It you make an error in a hand .mirror or some article that you feel would be a disgrace to throw away, don’t be discour- sged, for there.are ways out of it.

That may; sound.rather, difficult, ‘but really it is quite’ the" simplest ‘and ‘chéapest way qut of it. But, &£ on''the other hand, it be on & sunk surface ‘or where it cannot be got at easily, you will have to erase it with glass “ paper - and pick out the deeply burned parts with a needls. Don’t use a penknife, as the wood is more than likely to splinter. If the mistake is a small one, or what is termed slightly “bitten,” a rubbing with the glass paper generally will remedy it, buf you must always take care and not use sufficlent strength to rub a groove in the soft wood, for it will tend to cast a shadow and it might—and most probably would be—just where it was least wanted. There are hosts of pretty and useful tollet articles these days and a complete set of well burned wood is a change from the silver; it doesn’t keep one busy OUTFIT : LFRONM WO&W, FAIL € co-. /take advantage of U polisking forever and 1 Zcesn™t sosl & third as much. The mirror is the main plece, and & Daly one may be purchased for §1 35 or fl B That does not mean a small one or & Poor glass, and after it is finished no one need be ashamed to tender. it as a gift Generally it is better to select a showy design, such as llies, sunflowers and @affodils, or great sprawly scrolls, for the work is much simplified when there are distinctive shapes and outlines. In fact, small flowers and small figures appear perfectly flat and lost a few feet away, and there really isn’t any reason wiy you should .spend a great deal of time and labor when a few strokes would answer the purpose far better. There are an infinite variety of glove boxes, workboxes, powder-puffs, station- ery-holders and the like which never fafl to delight the heart of every methodical womar, and their chief beauty to the donor 1s that they are easily commenced and finished In an afternoon or evening. The girl who has a pretty, dainty room revels in odd picture frames, In burnt etchings and all such decorative features. Bo, ond of the best gifts for her is & tower clock. Almost any shop that makes a specialty along this line carries differe sizes and designs, but the tower which stands from a foot to a foot and a half In helg about the one available shape, not on account of its great popularity, for the reason that a nall, standard larm eclock can be inserted In the back as but the face shows, the result Is very effective and answers ths purpose quite as well as the most costly time- plece would. For the hov keeper there are In- numerable handy articles, as nut- bewls, fruitbowls, cakeplates and wine or water trays. Even an ordin: opping- bowl ‘may be so well decorated that no one would. recognize it, and, as every housewife knows, will stand almost any amount of rough usage befors it wi split or crack. If you deem these smaller, less expenst tate there ars smoking-tab rets,quaint high-backed chairs, odd old piperacks, firescréens and pictures of one color. Naturally the “furn as they dre called, are more or less a matter of ekill in handling the “poin as praoc- tically ‘no originality is called into play, but.with the- landscape effect it is quite differént, for pictures, unless they are good, are" a "perfect abomination.. The main trouble with most beginners is that they get the sky too dark, and thereby throw éut the “values” of the whole sub- Ject. This can ba remedied in a measure dy the judicious use of glass paper, but the faintest symptom of charring will give a muddy, murky appearance that is any- thing but desirable. If you particularly fancy bright effects, don’t. touch up burnt work with water colors or ofls, for then you have neither a painting or a monotint. But #f you must use colors, employ those known as the lustras, and apply them to Japaness decorations, tropical birds or posters, and then be most careful to hide that portion of wood where they are employed, even if you lay them on so thickly as to show in slight relief. - Begause you find the work fascinating, astodishingly quick and conveniently cheap, do not make the mistake of rush- ing through It 'pell mell, for slovenly work is no more allowable upon wood thangitiis upon any other material, and besidél, You should have enough pride to do ;well whatever comes o your hand, even if ths materials for its execution are humble, —eeeey DR.
