Color, when properly used, can endow some of the plainest homes with striking and pleasing individuality. Rows of just-alike houses can be made to appear refreshingly different when well-selected paints are used. Dull spiritless houses frequently seem younger, more alive, and more enjoyable to live in when painted with gay colors. To show home owners what combinations of exterior hues go well together, the following “color recipes’’ have been taken from the “House of Outside Color” exhibition in New York. They have been prepared by color experts for typical houses, located in ail parts of the county; Color recipe No. 1.—Forest green roof, pale coral walls, deeper coral trim, red-organe door. Color recipe No. 2.—Russet-colored roof, white walls, white trim, rustcolored shutters and front door. Color recipe No. 3.—Brick-red roof, off-white walls and trim, Dutch blue door. Color recipe No. 4.—Blue-gray roof, light yellow walls, daffodil yellow trim, deep gray front door. Color recipe No. 5.—Roof blend of red and deep orange, yellow walls, orange shutters, and dark blue front door.

land,

Never to part again. Sadly missed by Father, Mother and Sister.

GUTTERS, DOWNSPOUTS IF BAD, CAUSE DAMAGI Leaky and corroded gutters and downspouts often cause serious build ing damage. They may result ir. ruined and unsightly walls and ceilings as well as cause considerable deterioration of exterior materials. Experienced workmen can easily and quickly repair or install new flashing over door and window open ings and roof intersections, around the chimney, pipe vents, and othei openings and projections. At the same time they can clean gutters and downspouts of dirt and litter and repair them or install new ones if necessary. Further deterioration of metals which are subject to corrosion may be retarded by the use o^

suitable paint.
