people take a hearty pride in making
things look clean and bright, and in
their labors take delight. They're lav¬
ish with the helpful paint, selecting
colors chaste or quaint, and decorat¬
ing every shack; thus warding off de¬
cay’s attack, and making all the build¬
ings look like buildings rend of in a
