A new and very attractive black ma- terial will appear for Spring wear under the name of creponette.

Put on several coats, allowing each one to become perfectly dry. Lastly, give the floor a geod coat of varnish and when thoroughly dry it will be found as satisfactory as a stained floor can be and easily kept clean. The varntsh gives it the appearance of polished wood.
