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 test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed OIL Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each iob
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit OF White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood Blow the fame against it and
see what it will do. II it is pure
White Lead. little drops OF bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
tience the White Lead can be com
pletely reduced to one globule Of metal
lie 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 Ifthev

THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should At All Times BE "llvabie"
Room.

What to do with the living room IL
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t is the room
In which the most OF our time at
home is spent the hours We have for
leisure. the time We have for play.
the place where we entertain our
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief. are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate higher degree OF taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which We paste on when We
apply wall paper
Who ever saw roses climbing up
plastered wall growing out of hard
wood floor? Yet. that is what We
suggest to the Imagination when We
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring
The set figures OF wall paper are also
tresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form of tinted or solid col
clean way. and more fortunately 1t is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
mus, be given the color Light colors
reflect $50 OF the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 15Te.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree Of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and

colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect 1t; browns MOD
ifv it, and so on. through the scale
Of colors. The color scheme OF a
room not only is dependent upon the
color Of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light OF the room.

PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.

Starch were used. In order to get the

beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
