Ask the Old Farmer: I have just finished a chair-caning class
and 1 am curious as to why anyone caned chairs in the first
place D A , Athens, Ala
The “rush-bottomed" chair was used in Europe long ago, because
people couldn't afford to buy lumber for wooden chair seats, or
leather either, still, they appreciated a comfortable seat
Home Hint Place the ice cream for a children s party in colored paper
cups and store in the freezer until needed This makes the serving easy
at party time
