Hetty Green thinks, and whatever
Hetty Green thinks she generally says,
that "a large number of divorces are due
to the fact that instead of learning how
to keep house, "the women prink up
and parade around: then the men pa
rade around, also, and the trouble be
gins." Mrs. Green has done some walk
ing about in her time, but she didn't
"prink up" to do it, and it wasn't on the

to keep house, too.—lnquirer.

dippy, shovel-shaped creation of straw
and velyet should be the subject of a
heart-to-heart talk. Nevertheless moot

a pinwheel hat, jauntily cocked over
the larboard eye, and seemingly about
to slip off the back hair, some women
are simply bewitching.

Letter to Harry Hineliberffer.
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sir: The cost of labor in paint
ing a house is three times the coat of
the paint. You seem to save a little
when you buy a lower priced paint, but
you certainly add to the cost of labor
when you pay for spreading more
gallons. '
You don't even save oil the paint.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little more
than mixed paints, but it takes fewer
gallons, and the cost is actually less
Wears longer too —longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil.
You don't save a cent.
Mr, C. Loch, a painter in Magnolia,
Miss, writes:
After years of experiments with mixed
paints, 1 And tbat your paint covers more
surface to the gallon than any I have ever
used. For density and wearing qualities it
cannot be excelled.
Compared with lead and oil: A honse
belonging to the late President of the
Croton River Bank, at Brewsters. N.
Y., (cost $31,000) was painted with lead
and oil in 'B4 at a cost of #4OO. In 'B7
three years—jt was repainted with
Devoe at a cost of $350 In '97 the
house was still all right
Results: lead and oil—coat S4OO, wear
three years: Devoe—cost $350, wear ten
years.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.,
9 New York.
