FLOOR SURFACING

A new floor hardly requires any professional attention to make it fit to dance upon. Half a .day's ,work will give .it an excellent surface. It will have to be polished with a mixture of sawdust and ready-prepared sterene wax—about two cups of sterene to a bucket of sawdusts The sawdust which can be got from any timber mills, should not be oily. "Work the wax well into it, and throw this mixture on the floor. Then put a few bricks in a box, wrap the box in a blanket, attach it to a rope, and polish th e floor by dragging the box up and down. The dancers themselves will do much to work the mixture into the floor with their feet. Throw dowtt a few handfuls of it before the dance. If the floor is old, warped and uneven, it will need to be planed with an electric machine by a floor surfacing company.
