Possess A Perfect Lawn 



Old England's historic estates are car- 

 peted with the most beautiful stretches 

 of lawn. Through centuries of careful 

 study and trial coarse, undesirable grasses 

 have been supplanted by a uniform durable 

 species, almost the texture of velvet. 



Let English lawns surround your own 

 home.

Women Do Not Paint 



but they should know something about the paint their painters use. 



"I suppose in nine cases out of ten it is the wife who first sug- 

 gests that the house is looking shabby and needs repainting," said a 

 friend of the Dutch Boy the other day. 



"Yes," was the reply, "but she should go farther 

 and interest herself in how it is painted. Then she 

 wouldn't have to call John's attention to the shabbi- 

 ness of the house so often." 



When women learn how much lotiger

 just for the sake of keeping the house looking nice.
