„F or more Cane seated chairs
which are in excellent condi-
tion excepting for the need of
reseating, but the difficulty of find-
ing any one to do the work forces
the fitting and nailing on of a
shiny:, hole filled veneer seat, after
which the chair is suited for only
the meaner uses of the household.
A ,seventh grade boy of ordinary
mechanical ability and interest
enough in hand work to attempt
the project should not find ariY
great difiicuity on doing a seat
acceptable by following, the sketch
carefully, The material may be
P•urohased at almost any school
supply. house, a hank of cane con-
tains 1000 linear feet, costs about,
5&,00, and Will be sufficient for five
ordinary step chairs, Medium
width cane is suitable for most
cihairs. In undertaking this project,
do not forget that while it may go
rather slowly at first, Practice will
bring speed,
In the sketoh a square bottom is
assumed, hence we shall begin one
hole, to the, right of one corner as
shown, though in case of a round
bottom chair, or one which is'
wider at the front than at the back,
the first cane, No. 1, should be

when he stroked the noses of

One bright, warm' day in June,.
ori a,; Saturday, Martin and his
boot friend, :Ed Allen, went for a
walk in the park nearby. Martin
was telling Ed all the things he
was going todo later on ,when he
grew lip to be about sixteen. To
begin with he was going West, and
then he was going to ride over
the prairies.

Martian, excitedly. "It isn't afraid

But a miss is as good as a mile,
they say, and the horse trotted off,

"A car wouldn't act like this!"
panted Ed, as the boys ran be-
hind. "You can't tell me that

"If I could only catoh lt, I'd

fully,
Oh, how they dodged and ran

At last, they saw him . stop quite
still, and he let them come up to
where he stood cropping the grass.
Martin sprang forward to grasp
the bridle, when slid gave a share

They took off the man's Cellar,

pins large enough to hold the cane
in the holes at the beginning 'and
end oP the pieced push enough of
the end of the cane through, say
four inches, to 'allow for tying on
the back as shown,
',phe essentials of cane seating
are, being eure that each intersec-
tion is like that at A, •in that the
diagonal canes 6 and 6 slip -
be-
tween, the horizontal and t
canes as shown, and that all canes
enter the right holes at the, be-
ginning ending each time across.
Every weave like 13 is wrong and.
may be due to a mistake in some
previous weave. In many cases the
trouble lies in the weave of cane 4,
for while 4 may be woven either
back or front of 2 the sante weave
must be carried out throughout the
entire seat. In this case we have
placed a back of 2.
If we=ave B'happens, the mistake
must be located and remedied bY
either cutting out the wrong weave
and replacing it with a piece which
must be tied at each end, or bY
taking out all of the caning back to
the mistake and doing it over
again, hence "make haste slowly."
