Dread the Truth.

The parrot cry for conversational

ular mind in America is largely the
fear of commercialized society lest 1t
should be told unpleasant truths about
itself; lest the unpleasant gulf between
its own daily practice and its ideals
should be sounded by the artist. Sim
ilariy the Puritan's confused fear of
sensuous beauty. and his desperate
shutting Of the eyes to the interde-
pendence Of body and soul, of flesh
and spirit. is a sign Of his own weak
ness, Of his lack Of truthfulness. In

nor real beauty. dominated as it is by
considerations OF utility and material

II can be used as a small dairy stable

To get the best results with a COM

A solid partition is built in this case

The connection between the founda-
