Veneered Furniture.

In these days of the veneered furniture, when the buyer chooses only that piece of quartered oak that shows the most flake in the cnt. it is well to make ft a point to never allow water or liquid long Co remain on tfc* surfaces, this especially of tables, for It Is liable to reach the glue beneath this paper-like surface, and- later when drying out make it lift and bulge, to repair which only an expert Is capable. Dampness ciu? easily reach it almost unknowingly by plaolng on It A vase or Jar which has fa It some cool substance that might make moisture effect oa the outer side and leak to the table top. This should be guarded against,, as varnish, ed surfaces become opaque arid this more often than the vender bulging, which happening hi verily a’ calamity.
