Clean the piece and remove
any shellac or lacquer finish.
When it’s dry, sponge on liq-
uid dye, diluted half and half
with hot water. Set dye after
drying by spraying the piece
with cool water. A clear
acrylic spray will protect
and keep the new color.
BOYS WILL BE ... well
dressed this season, and
now’s the time for women to
buy in their departments at
sale prices. Stock up on such
basics as blazers, velour
tops, sweaters, cotton shirts
and accessories. If you can
wear the sizes, boy’s clothes
can be bought at a fraction
of the cost of similar items
in women’s departments.

COOL DOWN — It’s air
conditioning time again and
you should have done pre-
ventive maintenance earlier.
However, it is better late
than never to do this.
Remove the front cover and
carefully vacuum parts. Use
the thin, crevice tool to get
into dusty corners. Replace
the dirty filter, and keep
several extra filters on hand
to do this job periodically.
Spray interior lightly with
household oil and clean the
front grid before reinserting
it. Remember to keep fan
speed low on humid days,
high when the weather’s
sizzling.
RACK UP — Those inex-
pensive wicker or rattan
wine racks you see in dis-
count and import stores
make versatile small stor-
age units. Use one in the
bathroom (attached to a wall
with molly bolts) to hold
rolled towels; another for
magazines and newspapers;
third on a desk for paper
storage. And, you can
always keep wine and spirits
in them.
DYE UP — To give racks,
or any wicker or rattan
piece a fresh new look, dye.

We. were glancihg oWP- a travel page in one of the
Metroplex dailies recently and ran across an ad touting the
pleasures of a gambling weekend. To quote, it heydlinmk

Association errors in print are the bane of a small town j
paper’s news columns. These are the ones where a reporter j
is thinking of one thing but writes another, similar to it.
Thus, on the basis that misery loves company, it is satisfying ,
to note that the big Metropolitan dailies also err on occasion.
Such as a recent Sunday edition when bannered on the front
page in huge red type was: Hostage King Released.” This
was sort of a royal foul-up, indeed, as of course the hostage
released was a "Queen”, not a “King”. Is there also perhaps a I
note of male chauvinism here?

He said these repellents
contain one or more of the
following compounds:
diethyl toluamide, dimethyl
phthalate, dimethyl carbate,
ethyl hexanediol and benzyl
benzoate.
“Repellents usually pro-
vide protection from chig-
gers for several hours,”
Hamman said. “For protec-
tion which lasts several
days, saturate clothing by
soaking or spraying it with
repellent. For more protec-
tion, wear loose-fitting
clothing and avoid sitting or
reclining on the ground
when picnicking, camping
or working outdoors.”
Hamman explained that

Normally, two or the newer sprays or pow-

from nurseries would prob-
ably do a better job.”
Davis said that if you think
your backyard or picnic
area is infested with chig-
gers, stand a piece of black
cardboard on end where you
suspect they might be.

only the young chigger or
larva, which hatches from
the eggs, that cause the
trouble. These parasitic lar-
va congregate in shaded
niches near the tips of grass
or weeds and grab you as
you walk by. They then
scurry to a place where the
clothing fits tightly, such as
your sock top or around the
waist.”
After feeding for several
days, the larva drops to the
ground and never bothers
either man or animal again.
On the ground, the chigger
passes through the nymphal
stage into an adult.
