Good Colors for Houses.

It is not generally known not even among painters why certain tints and colors wear much better than others on houses. and the knowledge of just what tInts are best to use k, therefore, rather hay.
 One writer on paints, in recent book says that experiments seem to show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the sun will protect a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film.
 Thus red is a good color because it turns back, or reflects the red rays, and the red rays are the hot rays.
 In general. theTefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are poor, SO far as wear k concerned In choosing the color of pant for your house select reds. browns, grays and ohees, winch. considering the various tones these tlnts will produce will glve Wde range from which To choose

Years ago, when Mr.. Hedriok was

him in his old age. but he refused

THE WIFE'S
ALLOWANCE

The English system of "allow-
ance" is superior in many ways
to the American. A woman does
not feel so much like a street
mendicant when she received
certain sums at stated times, with
out humiliation of asking her
her husband for 10, 25 or SO cts.
every time she needs it. [ know
just how it is, for I've been there
and L shall never forget the mis-
erable hours and days / spent
during the first years of my mar
ried life, trying to get up courage
to ask my husband for money to
meet necessary expenses. [ knew
L had a right to it, nevertheless I
felt bitterly humiliated each
time, and my self-respect receiv-
ed many severe shocks during
the process of coaxing or wheed-
ling, or even demanding some
times, what [ needed. My hus-
band was not one of those "mean
men" of whom the Engllshwom-
an writes, for in the end L gen
orally received what 1 asked for,
but if l with a fairly generous
husband, endured such mental
suffering, what must sensitive
woman go through under the
same circumstances who is united
to a man who is "mean."
Such questions as allowances,
etc. should be discussed before
marriage. We women have al
ways been taught to think ol
these matters as sslndelicate," and
that we should be guided by SEN
timent alone.
1t may be that such plain talks
before the "happy event. would
reduce the marriage census
slightly, but that would entirely
be lost sight of, except by a few
"immortals::' who are even now
losing much sleep because they
feel the world is not being popu-
lated SO rapidly as they think ii
ought to be, and those people ]
would cheer up with the thought
that though marriages were fewer
divorces would be reduced to 6
minimum, and their beloved idea
of overpopulatlon would still be
prompted.-An American Wife
in the New York Times.
