.Love,s KISS In the pine woods of Malne
Mar. War on Natural Beauty.


Today It Is unfortunately perfectly
true that man Is the only animal who,
Instead of adjoining and beautlfying,
makes nature hldeous by his presence.
The fox and the squirrel may make
their homes In the wood and add to Its
beauty In 50 doing, but when Alder
man Smith plants his villa there the
gods pack up their trunks and depart.
They can bear 1t no longer. The bush
men can hide themselves and become
indistinguishable on slope OF bare
rock; they Irvine their little naked
bodies together and look like heap
Of dead sticks. But when the chimney
pot hat and the frock coat appear the
birds fly screaming from the trees.
This was the great glory of the Greeks
that they accepted and perfected ma
ture. as the Parthenon sprnng out OF
the limestone terraces of the Acr0polls,
CARRYING the natural lines OF the rocks
by gradations scarce perceptible into
the finished human beauty of frieze
and pedlment Possibly some day we
shall again build our houses or dwell
Ing places so simple and elemental In
character that they will At In the hooks
OF the hills or along the banks OF
streams or by the edges of the woods
without disturbing the harmony of the
landscape or the songs OF the BIRDS

bullets or be blown to bits by shot and
