There is a mistaken idea that "cul-
ture" means to paint little, to sing a
little, to dance "a little, and to quote
passages from late popular books. AS
a matter of fact culture means nothing
of the kind. Culture means mastery
over self-politeness, charity, fairness,
good temper, good conduct Culture
is not a thing to make display of; it is
something to use so modestly that peo-
pie do not discover all at once that you

vases and sculptured figures belong to Boho-
rnian artists afflicted with the terrible maIady
of impcc uniOslty. Their works are mortgaged
for they borrowed heavily on them after they
had passed thc art jurors and had been admit
