Letter to c. A. Churchill
BARRE, VT.

Tear Sir:-No man is so interested
in the look and wear OF the paiut on
the houses you build than you; not
even the owner; not even the pStpter
And painters sometimes arc Auss.s ct.
ed or befng more concerned for tine
look than the wear. What is your
opinion? Which pays best, for a
painter to have his paint last three
years, or as long as he can? He can
nave it last six, il he wants to.
Lead and oil lasts three; Devoe
Lead and Zinc lasts six. or course
conditions affect the time OF both.
Most painters know that zinc tough
ems the lead; s)rIe use IT.
Devoe lead and zinc is thoroughly
grC und in oil: the proportions are
right, and the mixture is thorough.
No painter need mix; he cant ford
to. Hand-wOrk can't 'tmpete with
machine work. He runs no risk with
Devoe lead and zinc.
All interests lie in using 1t: yours,
the owners, the painters-unless he
wants his paint to wear half as long.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE & Co.
= S. REYNOLDS sell our paint in
your section.

BREACH OF PROMISE.

Liverpool, March 7.-On the arrival

steamer Oceanic, New York, Feb. p.
the Duke OF Manchester, who with MS
bride, was passenger on board, was
served with a writ for an alleged
breach of promise at the instance OF
Portia Knight of London.
Miss POrtia Knight is an American,
% or "a years old. She was on the
stage in New York for short time
and has been living In London pri-
vately for a year.
She referred a representative Of the
Associated Press to her lawyers. The
writ has been out for some time she
said, and she did not know whether
it would be served In America or In
England. Miss Knight was glad to
hear that 1t was served In Liverpool.
II regret that this affair has be-
come public" she said. II thought
1t would all be done In America. l
do hope it will not be taken UP by the
American papers. have brought the
suit, not because 1 desired publicity,
but because felt In duty bound to all
my friends here in England. For
their sake as well as my own have
every wish that the proceedings be as
private as possible.
81 only met the Duke of Manches-
ter since came to England Il year
ago, but really ! must refer you to my
solicitors.
When Miss Knights solicitors were
called upon they declined to give any
details or to do more than to confirm
the report that Miss Knight had com
menced action.
