A Gift Of Beauty.

Beautiful! beautiful" has been a
cry on the lips of women since the
earliest days. The appeal of beauty to
them has perhaps been all the more
intense that women have not often
been themselves creative artists. The
range of feminine pleasure in beauty
is wide one, says the Youths Com
panion. 1t extends from the we'll
ordered and useful to the most subtle
combinations of form and color. 1t is
no impiety that the tempting bread
and pies and cakes of the Saturdays
baking may waken an emotion akin
to that stirred by picture or poem. The
pleasure of bunch of June roses in
cool sitting room is separated by but
step from the joy of the creative
imagination as it snatches an elusive
melody and fixes it in the memory of
the musician. Womens delight in the
beauties of nature is rather modern
Adornment and even reproductive art
make appeal somewhat earlier in the
history of the individual or of the race
than is made by the rugged face OF
mountains or the expanse of the illimi-
table sea. The woman of to-day has
come to love every beauty of this love-
ly world. The thousand avenues by
which beauty reaches the spirit are all
open to her One woman travels; an
other uses the microscope on the
calyx of flower or the wing of a
moth; third studies the cathedral,
fourth the autumn landscape. One
country girl rejoices in owning a pho
tograph of masterpiece Of painting
as much as another who, in the hush
of the Dresden gallery, gazes into the
rapt face of Raphael's matchless Ma
donna. By one voice and another
beauty speaks to all.
