By GAY PAULEY

New York-(UPD-Mrs. Rita S.
Nathan is the third generation
in a family business catering
to those who
I w a n t "anti
qued but not

ture for their
homes.
Her business
is reproduc
tions and
adaptations of
jd&Jj fine old pieces
Gay Pauley of furniture,
many of them worthy of mu
seums; and some of the tools
of her company's trade are
chains, wire brushes, and nails
of various sizes to provide a
patina which wear would
give, if given time.
"It takes a skilled crafts
man to distress a piece of
furniture," said Mrs. Nathan
of her "gang" of specialists
who whale away with assort
ed sizes of chains to put dents
in proper places in a piece
of wood.
Antiquiing Methods
The size of the chain de
pends on the size of the dent
the craftsman wants but the
one I saw the day I toured
this unusual factory in what
once was a meat processing
plant were series of loops
about one inch in diameter.
"Distressing" is the furni
ture marker's term for giving
a used, softened look to a
new piece of wood.
"The distressing can't be
uniform," said Mrs. Nathan.
"Scars and dents must go
where the normal wear is on
furniture. We sometimes nick
the edges a little for added
realism."
The special wire brushes
and nails produce the scratch
es, and Mrs. Nathan said some
reproducers use red hot nails
to burn a worm-eaten look
into wood. Her firm prefers
in this case to use the real
thing worm-eaten chestnut,
which she said is increasingly
rare because blight has killed

Woman Representative
Finds Tote Bag
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
United Press International
Washington- IUPD -Rep. Jes
sica Weis (R.-N.Y.) has dis
covered that the model's
trademark-a tote bag-is as
useful to a Congresswoman
as to a covergirl.
As the attractive lady law
maker describes it, her tote
bag is the perfect answer for
those occasions "when Con
gress and outside engage
ments run into each other."
Into the bag each morning,
if the daily schedule looks
hectic, go a hat, white gloves,
dress shoes, small purse and
dress-up jewelry. Then if
Speaker Sam Rayburn's gavel
fails to fall in time for her
to change at home for an eve
ning appointment, the day is
saved.
What those tote bag eon
tents are most likely to "dress
up" in such an emergency is
a light wool dress usually in
blue or red, never black.
Mrs. Weis prefers some
what tailored wool dresses to
see her through a legislative
day. She wears a suit far less
than do many of her feminine
colleagues in the House.
In the summertime, she
chooses dark cottons, paired
with a sweater with a self
matching trim "to deal with
varying degrees of air-condi-

Originals
off most American chestnut
trees.
The pseudo-signs of usage
are added before the final
hand-finishing. "Even there,
we are adding to the aged
look," said Mrs. Nathan, "be
cause the old, hand finishes
were not even."
"I doubt," she added proud
ly, "if they did it any better
200 years ago." '
Family of Specialists
Mrs. Nathan, an energetic
gray-haired woman with two
daughters and two grand-chil
dren, has been president of
the firm, founded in 1856,
since the death of her hus
band in 1938.
Now a fourth generation is
on the staff her daughter,
Rita.
The firm specializes in re
productions or adaptations
which generally follow the
silhouette of the old but may
have been scaled upward in
size or had some of the doo
dads removed! of 18th cen
tury English "the French is
a little too fussy" to Mrs. Na
than. And most of the reproduc
tions are done from the actual
antique, not a picture of Hep
plewhite, Sheraton, Adam or
Regency pieces. Many of these
antiques which Mrs. Nathan
and her family have collected
through the years occupy the
showrooms; others are in her
Manhattan apartment.
She explained that you get
purer dimension and detail
when you reproduce the ac
tual furniture "better than
a hundred photographs from
all angles."
A Nathan copy rarely is
cheaper than its original, be
cause she said today's labor
costs and scarcity of skilled
cabinet makers keep the
prices high.
Then why such a healthy
business in reproductions?
"Because," said Mrs. Na
than, "some people don't like
antiques; only the looks of
them and the elegance they
lend to a room."
Useful
tioning." Air conditioning in
the capitol, one reason jok
ingly attributed to the late
summer sessions of Congress
in recent years, often makes
it winter-like inside despite
100 degree weather outside.
Mrs. Weis admits that if
she has any one "bug", in the
clothes line it is hats. She's a
hat 'fan despite the fact that
she seldom wears them back
home in Rochester, N.Y., and
isn't allowed to on the House
floor.
She wears few accessories
and chooses dressy dresses
with uncluttered lines.
Her evening wear "depends
largely on the function." Most
semi-official parties see her
in a "simple" cocktail dress.
But like most of Washington's
women, Mrs. Weis has a "big
gown" or two on hand for
occasions that call for them.

Couple Convert Old Barn
Into Unusual Residence
By ROSE McKEE
Washington Signs claim
ing that "George Washington
Slept Here" are not exactly
uncommon in the mid-Atlantic
seaboard states.
However, one couple own
a home of even more speci
alized distinction in this
Washington birthday month.
They could claim:
"George Washington's
Horse Slept Here."
Carl B. Harper, a retired
Navy officer, and Mrs. Har
per have transformed an old,
big barn in nearby Virginia
into a home with many inter
esting features. These include
a 12-foot fireplace chimney
with a stairway inside it and
a hidden door.
Mrs. Harper hold the Na
tional Association of Home
Builders that when they
moved in 27 years ago, she
was informed that Washing
ton quartered his horse in the
barn on various occasions.
She said she has no way of
vouching for the legend but it
could be true because the
barn and an adjacent carriage
house were on a tenant farm
owned by Washington's life
long friend, George Mason,
the Revolutionary War period
statesman. Moreover, the
barn, she noted, was not far
from a church of which Wash
ington was vestryman. The le
gend is that Washington left
his horse in the barn when he
went to church.
Live in Haymow
Ihe Harpers, who have
two grown, children, live in
what was one the his hav-
mow of the old barn. The
downstairs area in which
horses and cows were sta
bled and which still has the
old wooden ness on whirh
harnesses were hung, is their
recreation room, garage and
storage area.
They have Dreserved the
old wood of the barn but re-
shingled the roof and en
closed the buildinif in stone.
The haymow now contains
tneir second floor living
rooms and thev have turned
the upper part of the haymow
into a tnird floor for bed
rooms.
The third floor has an un
usual hanging balcony, all
wood, copied from a French
chateau. It is reached by an
equally unusual drawbridge
stairway. Mrs. Harper said
that when the children were
B. I
-
little, they often "drew up the
stairway but not anymore."
Her husband supervised the
unique construction in their
home. He is an MIT graduate
with a master of science de
gree in aeronautical engineer
ing and, his friends say, "a
genius in his field." He
entered Naval aviation in
1918 and formerly was chief
engineer at the Naval aircraft
factory in Philadelphia.
Among projects on which he
worked was the conversion
of what started out as a bat
tleship into the first and old
Lexington aircraft carrier. He
retired in 1930 with the rank
of lieutenant.
Wooden Pegs Used -
Harper said the walls of the
old barn now the interior
walls of the house w ere
Norway pine brought from
Europe in colonial days. The
boards are 12 inches wide and
an inch thick. He noted, too,
that the old barn was held to
gether by wooden pegs except
for hand-made nails used in
the roofing.
In re-doing the barn, he
used matching wood through
out. There is no plaster or
wallpaper. Floor boards are
old timber from another farm
building. Some wood in the
house came from an old
tobacco barn.
The Harpers' huge living
room once had a big door
through which haywagons
were driven to be unloaded
and the hay stored. The door
has been closed up. The eye
catcher of the room today is
the immense fireplace with
its 12-foot chimney of flag
stone, which Harper had
built.
The hidden door, of stone
and concrete in a steel frame,
is on one side of the fireplace.
It swings open to a stairway
to the first floor recreation
room. When the children
were little, Santa made his
entrance through this fire
place door.
Mrs. Harper enjoys the
fabulous home, which is heat
ed by a furnace, fireplace,
gas and electricity. But, she
said smilingly, "Cleaning it
is like taking a toothbrush to
an elephant."
When pressing a hemline,
place a piece of heavy wrap
ping paper between the hem
and the garment to avoid
ridges on the outside.

On Aerosol Perfume
New York-dJTB-Aerosol per
fumes, almost unknown seven
years ago, haye boomed into
a mult-million dollar busi
ness. The first spray-on perfume
was marketed in 1946, but
was not successful because
the container was not as at
tractive as fancy glass bottles.
And the cost was high. Then
in 1954, two aerosol colognes
were marketed and caught
on.

New York-IUPD-The vogue
in floor and wall coatings
these days is toward multi
color lacquers. The trick in
production is to get the vari
ous hues on so that they keep
their individual identities
without muddying each other.
Here s how it's done
"Lacquer particles are dis
persed in water," explained
B. F. Ames, sales manager
of Maas and Waldstein, a
firm that makes such paints.
"Each particle, containing
special solvents, is surround
ed by a protective colloid, so
the lacquer looks like colored
rice particles floating in water."
