The Art Of Household Beauty.

Beauty as applied to domestic life has
never been more generally studied than at
present. Our mothers and grandmothers,
80 or 40 years ago, would have been perfectly
amazed at the importance which we attach 10
mere decorations; and yet we are not wrong
in thinking that we have made step for
ward since iheir days We are learning
that we may do our work and live our lives
as well and efficiently in q lovely home as in
one that Is bare and plain Perhaps we are
com pretending, too, that a large part Of our
chiidren's education Is obtained through
their surroundings. The rooms In which
they spend their first years. the landscapes
on which they gaze, the hills. the woods,
and the streams by which they
wander. have much to do in
giving their young minds impressions
which will never be wholly effaced. II those
who devote large sums to arraying their lit
tie ones in splendor would retrench about
dress, and. instesd of finery, buy books. pic
lures and flowers for the home, they would
be repaid by and by. Refinement, courtesy
and the gentleness Of good breeding are not
impaired to any one in . week or year.
The are the slow, but sure, development Of
home teachings, examples and associations
