THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results In painting at the
least cost depend largely upon the
material chosen. Paint Is simple
compound and the ingredients can be
easily tested. The solid part or pig
ment should be White Lead. The
LIQUID part should be Linseed OIL.
Those best informed on painting al
ways buy these ingredients separate
~, and have their painter mix them
fresh for each job. Before the mix
ing the test IL made.
Place a pea-sized bit Of White Lead
on q piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the fame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. IL 1t Is pure
White Lead, little drops OF bright,
pure metallic lead will appear, and
with patience the White Lead can be
completely reduced to one globule OF
metallic lead. This is because pure
White Lead is made from metallic
lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. II
they will not change wholly to lead,
but leave a residue, 1t is clear that
some adulterant Is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request blowpipe free
to any one about to have painting
done, SO that the White Lead may be
tested. With 1t will be sent a hand
somely printed booklet having as its
frontispiece the Dutch Boy Painter"
reproduced from the original paint
Ing. This little painter has become
noted as the guaranty Of pure White
Lead.

Bang to Return.

Bangs are coming back to fashion,
but that does not mean that young
women need cut their front hair short
and do it up in crimps at night,
neither smear it with the stick ounce
seed and dandelion lotions of ancient
bang days. The new bang is a soft,
fluffy row of what are called pincurls
resting on the forehead, just below
the pompadour; and they are called
pincurls presumably because a good
many of them are attached to hair
pin arrangement and tucked in after
the pompadour is finished: That is to
say, they have no more connection
with the wearer's head than they
have with the braids and puffs and
ours that decorate the top of it. This
little row of curly bang across the
forehead is to be considered more and
more au fait as the days go by.
