Development Of Beauty Depends a
Great Deal on That and on Ones

1t cannot be impressed upon us too
often that harmony of surroundings
is absolutely necessary to the devel.
opment of beauty. 1t depends on the
soul quality for its inspiration and
growth. The soul quality dies unless
nurtured by such surroundings as are
pleasing.
Each personality must choose the col.
ors and shades that are most soothing.
Every woman cannot have her home
decorated Just as she wishes. But ev.
cry woman can have some one corner
that Is her own that is decorated in
the colors and with the things (they
may be very simple and inexpensive)
that appeal to her. When she is tired
let her go to this corner and find rest
there, reading her favorite authors,
looking at her favorite pictures. sew
ing, crocheting or sitting and thinking.
If it is impossible for such a corner
to be had, surely there is some spot
of the town or city, some library. mu-
scum, church, park. some place where
she can find rest in the picture that
surrounds her.
