Painting
By HOWARD L. RANN

Painting is odorous adjunct spring house cleaning which reserved s q surprise for the husband who never knows it is coming until he sits down the front steps and wipes up a few square yards of fresh paint with spring suit.
 It is a peculiar fact that a woman is happy when she has to pick her way from to room on a three-inch board and back porch. This is because she just how things will look when the agony is over, while her husband can't anything but the bills. It is a thrilling mans life when he comes home and a $200 job painting which he had templated putting into automobile but this is of the penalties of married life.
 The painter is humble artist who generally aims begin Monday morning by congesting the reception hall with stepladders and paint buckets, thus driving everybody in the back About the time he fixes the hall that nobody get in without shattering the broad jump record, he is called fresco barber shop, leaving can of varnish a point where it be easily run into with the cleaner and turned upside down. By the time he gets back, however, the varnish will have dried thoroughly that it won't take days work with blow pipe to get 1t off the piano
 When about to have some interior decorating done, it is a mistake to painter who has just graduated the red barn and corn crib to erect of lavender guls above the plate rail in the dining room install several bow legged Cupids in the library If thwarted in his plans he will probably dilute his paint with gasoline and it with a broom.
 Painting should always be done when the man of the house is at summer resort, trying to produce sweet harmony between his digestion and his food. Otherwise, it will introduce discord and a chocolate-hued grouch into the home.
