BRINGING BEAUTY
INTO PLAIN LIVES.

It is bondage to the commonplace
which kills the youth in many women.
Their senses become blunted by mo-
notony, until at last they follow their
dull round Of duties without Joy and
without enthusiasm
If we were to ask, however, What
are the commonplace things" we
should get many answers. The woman
who is not blessed with worldly goods
would say: "Oh, the common place
things are mending and darning and
washing dishes and cooking three
meals a day"
But the woman Of larger income
would have different list-the COM
monplaee In her life would have to do
with the management of maids and the
trials Of continual social duties.
Even the wife Of the multi million
aire is bored by the gameness OF her
frivolous routine
For 1t is not only the poor who live
plain lives. I have seen people who
paid $40 a day In a big, beautiful,
busy metropolitan hotel, whose days
were empty Of all interests.
Yet there Is little need to waste
sympathy on these affluent paupers,
who, II they VIII only put their wits to
work, may open up new worlds OF de-
light. new vistas OF endeavor IN lines
of art. music literature, philan-
sthropy.
But the plain Hives of the poor, How
may they be beautihed? How bright
ened7 How may the women who
scrub and cook and sew find relief
from duIlness7
There is only one way. To bring
them to g recognition Of the beauty
of the commonplace.
Many of our greatest artists and
writers have shown us this beauty.
They painted Ecottage interiors, they
have pointed uout the poetry of every
day life, they have pictured for us the
simple joys Of the blazing earth, Of
ruddy children and Of rest after
toll.
Yet, IN real life we do not often
appreciate home joys and occupations,
for most OF US hold an ideal of pleas
ure which includes idleness and friv-
olity and lavish expenditure.
An old man once said to his fas-
tidious daughter: MY dear, II ham
and cabbage wasss5 plate, you'd like
1t better than terrapin." So, II toll
were the privilege of the few, we
should ali reach out for 1t with eager
hands, and would count those lives
plain which were passed lazily.
The woman who brings herself 70 a
realization Of true value, who adjusts
herself to the inevitable, who, recog-
mixing the limitations OF her surround
