Nothing can probably more simply or more effectively modernize the older house than can a change of color scheme. The application of three good coats of white lead paint in well-selected hues will wbrk a wonderful transformation. The landscape colors--brown, green, creamy-yellow or white:--are therefore the best colors to use In painting the body of the house, If It Is of wood. Equally harmonious is the brown and green color scheme, with the body of the house painted a dull, wood brown, and the roof and trimmings a quiet shade of green. Or one may prefer a house painted a light buff color, with white trimmings and a brown roof; or a brown house, with cream trimmings and the roof stained terre cotta or Pompetlan red. For, while red is not a dominant note among landscape colors, It does occur in occasional splashes in nature. Nor is the dull red of the brick house discordant if relieved with a ijhite trim. The house of colonial yellow, with trim of white or light Ivory and roof of golden brown, offers another effective combination. A charming color scheme for the small house is light brown, with white trimmings and green room. The house painted or trimmed with blue is a bit too startling. But a cheerful sky-blue makes an ideal celling for the porch, giving an effect of height in its simulation of the'heavens. Parson: "And which of all the par. ables do you like the best?"

Pipes and Guttera of Copper Alwaye Beet The most vulnerable points in every roof and consequently the places where trouble most frequently appears are the rain pipes and gutters. They bear the brunt of every storm and if made of cheap metal rust will destroy them. The one unfailing protection against the ravages of rust and decay Is the use of pure copper at these points, where corrodible metals ordinarily cause trouble within a few years of their Installation. For most homes, rain pipes and gutters of noncorrodlble copper can be Installed for from $50 to $100 more than the cost of Installing Inferior materials of questionable endurance. Many years from the time of Installation, copper as the material in these usually troublesome locations will be rendering the same effective aSlTice In protecting the home. American Parke America lias a long way to go be* fare It obtains all it should have In the way of public parks and recreation grounds, but it has done rather well as far as it has gone. A survey by the Playground and Recreation Asseclatlon of America Bhows that the parks in the United States represent an outlay of one billion dollars and cover an area of 250,000 acres in 1,681 municipalities. In mere space, New York claims to lead the country, but Philadelphia still holds its supreme position In possessing the largest per capita park area. Fairmount was originally bought and laid out as a means of protecting the city's water supply, but Its ; sat expansion and the addition of pi rk areas In many other parts of the city have been In direct obedience to the universal recognition of a public need.--'Philadelphia Public ledger. Consider the Driveway ^ Although walks and driveways may be made decorative, the builder should not lose sight of the fact that both should be strong, sound and provide a level, clean surface. This thickness Is the same that Is used for drivew&ys, of which several types have been developed. Where the driveway is to be subjected to hard service, or is to be used by several cars, a pavement covering the entire width of the drive area will give best satisfaction. Where the driveway Is to be used only occasionally, narrow, parallel strip of concrete will provide a satisfactory approach. These strips should be grooved to keep the wheels of the car from running off and digging into the adjoining laws.
