claims Enthusiastically that here is zone

believe that much OF the amateur art
of today is nothing short of a bold, imper-
tinent usurper filling the place OF real art.
II we would allow our judgment to rule.
amateur work would be a help, and It Is
that to some extent even under present
conditions. II we would use our amateur
paintings as we do our amateur written
compositions. simply as a means Of de-
velopment, then all would be we'll. In
stead, however. Of placing them in those
secret archives devoted to the evidences
Of our progress, we put them in prominent
places in our homes. and in our devotion
to the weak, immature child forget the
real, the great benehcent mother. Art. that
ministers so profoundly to the race.
/ cannot help but feel that great benefit
would accrue to our women Of the fedora
tion II, Instead Of the elaborate displays
Of decorated china which have come to be
a feature Of the meetings, there was a
carefully selected collection Of some OF the
great wares of the world. Such a collection
might be very small and yet be attractive
and helpful. Indeed, II might be confined
to one class Of ware each year and still be
a rare opportunity. A display OF Tiffany
Favrile glass, for instance, would leave de-
hghtful Impressions Of elusive opalescent
c%olors, or one OF the lockwood pottery
would delight by the pure poetry Of its
browns and yellows, its grays or blues.
With a world full OF such masterpieces, and
these at our hand. it Is too bad to oner our
women instead amateur work where really
skilled decoration is the exception. not the
rule. The present plan savors OF advertis-
ing and sale-making. as every piece has
its price. At our last meeting some OF our
finest papers we're on ceramics OF one sort
OF another. That there were no i~llustra-
tions to these excellent papers was their
only defect.
The two suggestions, then. that I would
like 70 make TO our committee IN charge
OF the art program are: First. make the
work reach into the home; In other words,
make II more practicable; and, second, let
US have alongside OF our very best amateur
work. not for sale. some illustrations OF

In October the Nebraska Federation Of
Women's Clubs will meet at Columbus, and
the program Is now being made up for it's
sessions. At the request Of TIL Bee, two
Of the best known workers among the Ne
braska club women have offered sugges-
lions as to what should be done in at least
two departments of the federation's work.
These letters follow.
Now that the synopsis Of the program OF
the coming meeting of the Nebraska Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs Is in our hands
II Is but natural for us to think what we
should like to see carried out In that pro-
gram.
To the women for whom the novelty OF
organization has vanished the practical
side OF club work appeals as the all thing
necessary and desirable. We are coming
to feel that only as We make our club
work practical, improving the home and
our every day life, alternating conditions
that bear heavily upon the toilers Of the
world, is It In any sense worth while.
In a general survey Of the subjects
studied in clubs we are inclined to place
art as among the purely ornamental, the
absolutely impracticable. The fact is.
however. quite the contrary. Art touches
the deepest roots OF life and is inextrica-
bly, bound up In them. AS for its practi-
cability, the housewife can not turn with
out verifying some principle Of bad or good
art. Art enters into the homeliest uten-
sils Of everyday life no less than into the
realms OF pure aesthetics. In considering
art we make two great mistakes. first in
RELOCATING IL to this latter place. and second.
we are not careful enough in the selection
of our pictures and bric-a-brac, even when
we consider art merely in this restricted
sense. SO strongly does this latter point
impress me that am quite willing to say
that a woman taste is indicated more
strongly by what she buys for purely orna-
ment than in her other purchases.
Extremely limited income compels us to
the inexpensive or plain, common articles,
but when a woman sets out to buy a pic
ture OF q vase there Is presumably a little
money for luxury. / believe the art sec
ton OF our clubs should aim to instruct
our women in making such purchases no
less than in selecting carefully the com
mon articles Of the house. A thick. coarse
dinner set may be a necessity, but a com
mon. coarse. over-coiOred vase is a dis
grace 70 the woman who sets II In her
