BEAUTY IN AMERICAN CITIES
Been Prospected, Says Writer
In Scribner's.

AS, | wandered about the streets
and the parks, studying them under
| the constantly shifting and kaleidos-
| copic effects which are peculiar to our
| changeable climate Git might be at
! twilight, with the lights reflected in
long streamers from the wet pave
ments, or perhaps twinkling through
a blur of snow-on rainy days. at
night, or during the Indian summer
days when the tall skyscrapers show
ed only as towering ghosts through
the universal purple haze.) l came
gradually to perceive that here was
another kind of beautiful which. how
ever much it might differ from that to
which | had been so long accustomed
abroad, was none the less intrinsic
and admirable, says a writer in Serb
ner's. AS time went on l became more
and more fascinated with this strange
new loneliness. And now, after thirty
years, | have come to hold New York
the most beautiful city in the world!
Not Paris, nor London, nor Rome, nor
Antwerp can, in my opinion, compare
with it. either in color or effect, or in
the unexpected character and beauty
of its piled-up buildings. Even the ad
mitted charm of Venice becomes
somewhat petty by comparison; for
mere picturesqueness does not neces-
sarily connote beauty, and scene
which will make an excellent picture
postal card will not always make an
excellent picture.
soon found that what was true Of
New York city was equally true of
our American landscape in general.
The quality of it's beauty differed Who'll
ly from that of northern Europe, but
it was equally adapted to pictorial eX-
preston on canvas. 1t had only to be
approached by a systematic tempera-
ment and with unprejudiced eyes to
yield limitless material for the paint
er's art And, inasmuch as natures
moods on this side of the ocean are
infinitely more varied than they are
abroad, they lend themselves to the
most divergent artistic temperament
and permit of very wide range Of
personal expression in art.
Finally, it can safely be stated that
the field has as yet scarcely been pros
pected. Between Quebec and New
Orleans, between the coast of Maine
and California, there are countless
beauty spots which are still virgin
soil for the artist-each offering mo-
tives as different from those of In
ness, Wyant, Homer Martin and Win
slow Homer as theirs were from the
motives employed by Corot and
Mauve, and Millet and Monet

Tricks of Orators.

Great orators have not scrupled to

might be expected from the French in

those previously held was the effort to
give practical demonstration of, the
low cost at which nutritious food,
properly prepared, could be placed on
the workingman's table. It was shown,
for example, that a good soup for SO

The blue gum probably makes our

What the Young Shall Read.

The trustees of the Greensboro Ii
brary at Bay Side, N. Y, have issued
an edict that amounts to a censorship
over books. Lads of twelve and four
teen will not be permitted to take
books that depict heroes armed with
guns, nor will young girls be allowed
to get books in which the heroines are
not perfect morally.
Heretofore, according to Trustee
