Snrine Renovation.

st. Patrick's day, with the ftful weather that 1t
usually brings, has come and departed, and gen.
tie spring, that "etherIal mildness," of which
Thompson speaks SO gushingly, is spidly on the
approach. 1t is the season-when the trim and
tidy hOuse-keeper wants to overhaul the old cas-
tie, that during long winter, both within and
without, has become the harbor for dirt and use
less articles. She wants to inaugurate a clean.
ing campaign, and by the frequent and abundant
application OF water and paint hopes to effect
transformation in the appearance of things gen.
orally. She wants to give the parlors, rooms and
passages frgsher and brighter look, that will
add TO the beauty Of the residence and speak to
her credit as mistress of the mansion. She
wants the exterior re-painted to have 1t In hsr-
mony with TIE interior, and tell the interest her
husband takes in his property. The sOnbbing
can be executed under her immediate supervi-
zion, by the aid Of competent servants, but for
the paint work, that must be left to other hands.
Fer this business only those fitted for the task
can prove acceptable. Many men represent
Themselves as lourneymen at the trade, but few
prove the truth Of their assertion. Artistic
PAINTERS are always IN demand and receive
handsome compensation for their labor. The
reason is PLAN enough and needs no comment
here. Mr.. {. T. Bowen, OF CTS Louisiana avenue,

not what the style Of work to be done may be, he
will DO found competent for its proper per-
formonce. He also has in his employ nothing but
Skilled workmen, and entertRtns no fears OF the
result when becoming responsible for the work
Bowen, by i'll health, has been unable TO bestow
that attention TO his business IL demanded but,
having fully recovered, he viii always be found

mands that may be made upon his time and
