A HINT FOR SPRING.

When Housokeepers Arc Brlghtenins tho
Interiors of Their Homes.
Now that the backbone OF this re-
markable winter is broken, housekeep-
ers are remarking the dingy look of
the home interior. The question OF
new wall coverings is up. Paper is
dear and short lived: kalsomines are
dirty and scaly: paint is costly. The
use Of such cement as Alabastine,
for instance, will solve the problem.
This admirable wall coating is clean,
pure and wholesome. 1t can be put
on with no trouble by anyone; there
is choice of many beautiful tints; and
1t is long lasting.
