This Question IL Important In Painting
q House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting a house. It
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take a second
glance. And it makes a big difference
in the price the property will bring IN
the market.
AS to the exterior, a good deal de-
ponds upon the size and architecture
Of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For a good interior effect you
must consider the size Of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books of color schemes
for both exterior and interior painting,

A physician was summoned to a
very sick man, who was very much
preoccupied with troubles of his own.
On arriving at the sick mans bed, he
said to his wife: Your husband is in
the last throes. Every movement
shows that the end is nearing" At
this moment the sick mans head fell
over the pillow, when the doctor said:
1.-The end has come, your husband is
dead"
In a shrill, thin voice the sick man
said:
"'Tain't so, Maria"
At once the wife laid her hand on
his head and remarked: Don't dis
turb yourself, Rufus-the doctor
knows best."-Harper's.
