ENAMEL THE BUREAU DRAWER

Much Cleaner Than the Employment of Linings and Pads and Far More Dainty. Much is gained if, instead of making linings or pads for the bureau drawers, the drawers themselves are made dainty and ready for the receptacles of articles. First give the Inside as many coats of white paint as is necessary to give a clear white tonej and then a coat of white enamel. This gives a perfectly smooth surface, which is fresher than any other lining could be. The drawers look neat and attractive, and when cleaning is desired a simple wiping with a damp cloth produces perfect cleanliness. The same idea could be carried out with all shelves, cupboards and drawers in the house, whether for linen, china or kitchen utensils. They are more easily cared for than when arranged with other covers. This process makes a good substitute for the highly recommended glass shelves.
