BEAUTY IN OUR HOMES
BY MRS CREIGHTON
(Author Of "a Social History of England" etc.,

least at some principles of taste for them
selves. Increased facilities of production
and communication have multiplied the OBJ
jects with which We can adorn our homes.
We have more things and cheaper things
than our forefathers had Their tables
and wardrobes lasted for generations, and
still adorn many of our homes. The draw
Ing room and bed room suites which we
buy hardly last one lifetime, and make the
homes of our old age often look little bet
ter than shabby hotel. If we care about
the beauty of our homes the first thing we
should remember is that we must buy moth
Ing that is not good, and, If possible, beau
tiful in itself.
Why should we want to have everything
at once? 1t is possible to live with very
few things. and these, If they are carefully
chosen, will give all the more delight be-
cause they are few and because they are
beautiful. Then there will always be the
pleasure of adding as we can afford 1t tt
our treasures. adding only after much
thought, much trouble to find exactly what
we want, and so getting the fullest possible
enjoyment out of each new possession.
The thing that we are able at last to ac-
quire will be all the more precious because
We have done without 1t SO long. Again,
anything that is really good will only gain
an added beauty by age. The carefully
kept, thin, Persian rug is even more beau
tiful than when 1t came first from the loom
In all the glory OF its new color. No rooms
have the charm of the quiet old sitting
rooms of remote county houses, with their
chippendale tables. their faded damasks.
their torn carpets, all subdued into quiet
harmony by the passing of the long years
during which they have not only been used
and worn, but cared for with tender love.
Are there many of our fussy. modern draw
ing rooms which will in the same way grow
more beautiful with years?
Besides, not only is 1t a mistake to buy
many things rather than few because the
things in themselves will be less precious,
bu. the appearance of our rooms is nearly
always spoilt by crowded furniture and
prcfEson Of often meaningless ornament.
In this we might surely learn lesson from
the Japanese. We are told that the man
who has fine collection of china will only
have a few pieces out in his rooms at a
time, so placed that they can be well seen
and enjoyed. Instead of crowding masses
OF flowers into numberless vases of all pos
siblc shapes and colors. the Japanese will
carefully select few blooms or branches
to be arranged with the most deliberate
thought, in vases specially adapted to their
particular color and shape.
Our profusion Of decoration and ornament
defeats its own aim and ends by ceasing to
ornament. Our rooms are restless and
