PICTURE FRAMING
The problem of framing pictures is an actue one; very few of us can afford really good antique frames, most modern ones at a reasonable price are not very decorative, and anyway, carved and gilded frames often look out of place in a modern home. Yet our pictures must be framed —here are two solutions. If your picture- is light in colour and is to hang in a room also light in ke%. frame it in looking-glass. This should be about two inches wide, and a surround of this description looks extremely effective and adds considerably to the gaiety of a room. A picture darker in tone, to which the frivolity of a mirror would be inappropriate, may be fastened to the wall by a wide moulding of unstained and unvarnished pitch-pine. Chop up equal quantities of seeded raisins and nuts, moisten with lemon juice and use as filling for sandwiches. If parsley is dipped in boiling wat|r it will be very easy to chop. Sugar sprinkled on a dying wood fire will often revive it.
