FURNITURE IS NOW; BEING PAINTED Peasant Styles Being AD the Rage, Get Out Some Castoff Pieces and TreatThem to a New Coat of Paint, Because it is of humble name do not imagine that painted furniture Is always cheap. Manufacturers of some of our finest furniture turn opt a greater number of peasant styles than of almost any other kind, and they go their way into very fine homes.

Even Marls Antoinette liked to play at being a shepherdess when It suited her fancy to drop the dignities of royalty. Bo why should not my lady of fashion nowadays, when she files to the country for a relaxation of social duties, furnish at least one bedroom In the picturesque manner of the French or Flemish, Dutch or Italian peasant!

It Is not to be thought for a moment that any woman cau from her attic bring discarded beds and chairs and things and then with paint and patience perform like miracles at home or transform hideous pieces of yellow oak end dismal black walnut furniture Into pieces as beautiful as those Just described, for that takes perfected art and experience. But any woman can who wOl scrape and sandpaper tho bad finish off of any piece of furniture whose possibilities she sees, have a local carpenter bereave it of absurd ornaments, If she cannot also attend to this part of the work herself, and turn out from an improvised workshop in basement or attic really wonderful transformation by the aid of paint and good taste.
