The cottage roof; wide _ Water table at the floor level and attractive windows also assist in pro. ing a pleasing bungalow effect.

An- other great advantage is this--that when a filler is used without previ. ously sponging, the old sandpaper dust and other material which clogs the = pores, absorbs water from the stain. and remains dam- per than the wood in contact with the air. When the foreign ma- terial does dry out it does 50 by absorption through the surround- ing wood which causes shrinkags and settlement and pulls the varnish coat down {into the pores. Or again the same -moisture may, by expansion, force the varnish out in small spots, especially if the varnish is applied in an excessively warm atmosphere. had the misfortune to get cut with a jack knife, is making a favor- able recovery.
