RefOrmers Must "Cet Busy"
y And DO Things" Sometimes
By Professor CHARLES, zuEnLIN of the University of Chicago

By Professor CHARLES. ZUEBLIN Of thu University of Chicago
people of the middle ages so far outclassed the modern
globe jewellers that comparisons are not only odious but very
49, dsgraceful to those who are unfortunate enough to be on
earth at the present time. And the reason for all this hid
eousness is that the "reformers' are living IN THE CLOUDS OF
POESY and reading "new thought when they ought to be fixing up
their back yards and otherwise contributing to the beauty of the land
scape, municipal and otherwise.
Most of us live in the midst Of ugliness. Everything about us is
so ugly that when we get a little bit of beauty we herald it all over the
country. There are plenty of people doing research work in our uni
verstiGs, but they are all "literary" and don't care for manual training
or anything like that, SO THINGS CAN GO ON BEING UGLY.
All courthouses have to have domes. People seem to think that a
courthouse would not be a courthouse without a dome. They have i'm
bibed this idea probably from the fact that the old courthouse at home
had a dome. 1t is the same way with soldiers monuments. At one
time the country was flooded wit. inarhstc soldiers monuments, and
now we can't get rid of them.
We in America are suffering from a new disease which is not sufi-
GENTLY appreciated by its victims. 1t is THE NATIONAL DIS
EASE OF PROSPERITY, and it leads us to a failure to appreciate
material things. Rich men sometimes get hobbies and overdo all
propriety by loading up with old masters and first editions. Very few
show any VERSATILITY in art.
If THE ENTIRE POPULATION Of CHICAGO SHOULD VISIT THE
ART GALLERY ONCE A WEEK THEY WOULD NOT BE MAKING
THE CITY ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL. THE PEOPLE MUST COME
DOWN FROM TIE CLOUDS TO- A CONSIDERATION OF MATERIAL
THINGS.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-09-18
U DECORATION.

The woman who is just moving in
to a new house will do well not to
furnish it completely all at once, Or
before she has lived init for a while.
Let her first place such of her old
furniture as she wishes to keep, then
from time to time a new chair or an
other table can be added to fill some
vacant corner.
Or it is better TO let the orner re-
main bare until she runs across some
thing which will exactly suit the
space to be- filled.
1t is far preferable to- buy furni-
ture to suit the apartment than to Sc
lect a house to fit the furniture,
when it can be done, and on the 9th
er hand, many a woman has spoiled
the interior of her@4ibfafy-in hurrying
to a shop to purchase something
chosen for the number of square feet
which it contains rather than for the
suitability or beauty of the object it
self.
