A HINT FOR SPRING.
When Housekeepers Are Frightening
the Interiors of Their Homea.

Now that the backbone of this remarkable
winter is broken, housekeepers are remark
ing the dingy look OF the home interior. The
is dear and short lived; kalsomines are dirty
and scaly; paint is costly. The use of such
a cement as Alabastine, for instance, will
solve the problem. This admirable wall
coating is clean, pure and wholesome. It
can be put on with no trouble by anyone;
there is choice of many beautiful tints; and
il is long lasting.
