The Truly beautiful.

There Is, it has been said, no fixed
standard OF art criticism. What Is
lauded to-day is discarded tomorrow.
and even connoisseurs disagree bewil-
deringly; but, glanclng back over the
ages, 1t will be found that the discord
has been caused by technical diverg-
ence and that In every land and among
all peoples the truly beautiful has been
generally recognized and correctly es-
teemed. No one questions to-day the
beauty OF the Greek temple or the
charm Of the Babylon pottery. II
does not require trained eyes to recog-
nize the merit OF an oriental flower
painting or to find delight In one Of
whistlers' nocturnes. The fundamen-
tails In each instance are the same
rlythmical line, fair proportions and
harmonious coloring. We have to be
led ofttimcs mp the ascent OF art, and
there Is much discussion concerning the
byways. but once on the height all
dissenslon ends, and we no longer need
a guide.--Leila Mechlin In Century.
