ARE you an art student? Have you
ever taken any interest In drawing
or painting? Have you any knack
for It? There are surprising num-
Der of women who have quite q tai
ent for drawing. but who have
never developed 1t.
Some time back I suggested writ
Ing a few sentences each day, by
way of training yourself to clear
expression in writing. To-day I
should like to suggest that you
spend a few moments in sketching.
If you have any love of art at all.
Besides this, get some books on
the history Of art and the principles
of drawing. Learn why classic art
excels, learn when perspective was
discovered, study up the names Of
the worlds greatest painters, and
what their best works WERE, -s .1,,
Compare the art of ono country
with that of another-for instance,
the great difference between char
acteristic Dutch art and Italian
and you will grasp some Of the Diff
ferences of, traits that distinguish
these two nations. The history Of
the world, the growth Of civiliza-
ton, 3. so easily and beautifully
learned from pictures. ~
3 And draw little. Soon you will
at least develop q sense of form,
you will appreciate good pictures
better, and you will gain sense of
color. These things will help to
beautify you-for If you are clever
and intelligent, your looks matter
little. ,r. f~f -..s.a ar.. :.
And. though you never do any
good work at all in the way Of art,
at least, you will have come to rev.
erence it, and to have found a new
Joy in life. And you will draw
about you delightful set of new
friends, all art lovers too. p.
