HIS ques. must ever be after great prin-
ciples IN nature. not some dead letter or
some nan-snade law. II such things were
subject to law then the mechanic having
the best memory and deftest in
manual dsxterity would be the
greatest artist. He would have
recipes for mixing colors and making
rses. Any uniform touch must be mon
otonous and therefore fails. to nature,
which Is more capricious than woman.
We talk OF the 'inconstant moon but she
Is q monument OF constancy compared
with clouds and wind. What with sun
shine clouds. wind and rain no bit OF

asked for n touch for foliage We rant
about freedom. and while moaning and
frettIng under bondage we clamor for more
rules laws and restrictions. To make
pictures according to patterns is so much
easier than to study the infrity OF nature
and intelligihiy interpret TO others what
we have learned" Next Tuesday evening
