THE COLOR BLOCKS
It will be seen that all the color.blocks are ' In groups. Each group is a perfect harmony. In any group on pages *, 5 and 6, any one of the colors may be taken for the body of the bouse and any other one for the trim. In most of foe groups the darkest of the three shades is suitable for sash or roof, and in some cases for blinds.
Similarly, in the groups on pages 7 and 8, each <wo colors are in perfect harmony. With the lighter tint for a ceiling and the deeper lint for a side wall, there will be no clashing of colors whatever.
With the 70 different colors shown on this tolder there could; of course, be made thou sands of good combinations. No one who se lects colors from this folder need feel limited by the 21 combinations shown. The two ad vantages of fJie groupings are (l) to show how the different colors go together, and (2) to show certarn combinations that arc unmis takably correct.
Don't forget the white house. Where the atmosphere is reasonably free from dust and. from the smoke of railroads or factories, noth ing eliei is quite so attractive as white. It is particularly pleasing on a house- well set in foliage, and it gives even to a small house an appearance of increased size. White is also effective as a trim on yellow, drab or gray.

WHAT FAINT 7
The best known paint prescription is an, old
one--simply pure white lead mixed with pure
linseed oil and the necessary color. Nothing
else has yet been found to equal it. Pure,
white lead end linseed oil paint wears down
slowly and smoothly, so that, when the time
comes to paint again, no expensive prepara
tion is necessary.
*
*
*
It is one ofi the greatest objections to the
substitutes offered for pure white lead paint
that they leave the surface -so rough and
lumpy that it not only looks bad, but requires '
the me of the gasoline torch to smooth it down
before repainting. This preparatory work not
only is dangerous,, but it costs time and
money which,jiof course, must be added to the
original cost of those substitutes before their ,
cost is compared with that of pure white lead \
and oil.

Three coals should always be applied lo a surface which Ima never before been painted. Two coats arc audii'lcnl for repainting old work. Two coals only are sometimes used on new work, for the sake of economy, but It is not true economy. A third coat would cost only one-third more and should make (he job* last twice as long.
Lead and Oil--Tn these formulas It Is as sumed that only pure white lead and pure linseed oil will he lined. One way to insure purity Is tn get tintIt lead ami oil in our sealed packages, bearing the "Dutch Boy-Painter* trade-mark.
Thinner* and Driers---Use only pure turpen tine as a tldiiucr. Do not use kerosene or even benzine; lliry iln not Improve, and they may Injure the paint. A pure turpentine japan drier is recommended,

TO FIND HOW MUCH FAINT
Measure the total distance around the house with a tape line, carrying it into all the corners and angles; multiply that distance by the height from the sill to the eaves. Multiply the width of the gables by half their perpendicular height. To get the area of porch floors and porch ceil ings, ihultipjy the length by the width. To get the area of porch columns, multiply the girth by the height. Figure railings and spindle work as if they were boarded up solid and had to be painted both sides. To get the area of the over hanging eaves and cornices, multiply the total running length by the width. All measurements must be in feet. ,No allowance is made for doors and windows^ since the casings and the sash must be painted and since some paint is re quired for the edges of the weather boards. When the several areas have been added, divide the-number of square feet by 575 to find the number of gallons for the priming coat, or by 600 to find the number of gallons for each ad ditional coat ` These results will be approxi mately right for average conditions, but the covering capacity of paint depends a great deal on the nature of the surface, ihe smoothness of the white lead, the formula it is mixed by and the way it is brushed out.
Materials to 100 square feet, per coat (ap proximate): Pure white lead, 2 to 2% lbs.; linseed oil, pint; turpentine, pint.
