SHOOTING STARS.

Apt Quotation.
A little piece of poetry comes handy
now and then.
The same as nonsense" it lis rel
ished by the best Of men,
Humanity is much alike in every land
and cline,
And has been SO from Adams day
down to the present time.
We've had the same old pleasures and
we've had the same complaints.
Society has shown the same ambitions
and restraints.
The poets who described them in their
ancient, vigorous lay
Made reference to truths which stand
unchange as truths today;
And every little story that events can
now unfold
By some philosopher or bard has pa.
uently been told.
So wherefore labor for q phrase
save one that is exact
In setting forth statistics. or plain,
unvarnished fact
When on the shell are volumes long
ago 50 ably writ.
And filed with language that sur.

Which may SO well be quoted by the

Furthermore. art can give you a
charming environment A knowledge
of art is reflected in the design Of
the home and its furnishings. Art for
some reason has long been associated
in the minds of many with extrava-
gance, but to the contrary it affords
the necessary knowledge to make
good use Of little means. A knowl-
edge of art leads to a choice Of that
which is best in design and color. in
articles of usefulness. A college pro-
fessor once bought a Chippendale
chair and as result not only had
to refurnish his entire house, but
was induced to give UP his professor
ship and devote his life to lecturing
on art through a sincere desire to
bring others to an appreciation of
what art had come to mean to him.
The instant one steps into a home
whether or not the owner has a
knowledge of art Is obvious. The
same thing is equally true of dress.
for the same principles which govern
the design of the skyscraper or a
Gothic cathedral, the production Of
a MASTERPIECES in painting or great
work in sculpture are in lesser degree
true of the design OF a gown. Art in
this way can make you q better citi-
zen, because 1t will show you the
desirability OF the employment Of art
