ee.-infesteo novels of hundreds of

thin, slight stumes of crimson and
orange OF Japanese and of Hindu, the
noble retinements and elaborate SIM
plicity Of the Tai Mahal and other
memorial tombs of Agra and Delhi, the
Kaleidoscope OF street and bazaar in
every Oriental town, also represent the
truth which observation offers. Such
truth is as vast as nature, as diverse
, as life. To come to possess as ones

either in its largest relations, or in its
intinitesimal divisions. is q form OF

But the highest element in the get

! is the element OF appreciation. Appre-
citation presupposes and embraces OBJ
servation, Interpretation. classification
and assimilation. II is at once an in
tellectual and an emotional condition.
1t is both virtue and a grace. 1t be-
longs alike to the head and to the heart.
