something besides futt'ilg on
a combination of colors and
Frightening the appearance Of
dwelling. There is paint
and paint, some good and
others decidedly bad, and this
saying does not apply only to
ready mixed paints. How Of
ten you find on houses, paint
ed only a short time, streaks

the paint goes on so it remains
and weather will not make
changes in its appearance as
it does in other kinds of paint.

Hongkong rope knows tina
once it becomes wet it is use
less while the same cause pro
duces an entirely different et
