The Art Of LiUing
By Elsie Robinson

grimages to witness the blossom
ing of one cherry tree.
Or inspires an Italian peasant to
paint upon his crude, earthen dish
a simple but enduringly lovely
design.
Or sets the brown fingers Of the
Samoan to weaving floral wreaths.
An amazing spirit of romance
and advantage flows through
American business but we have, as
yet. no national art.
The plumbers are putting golden
enamel in our bathrooms. 1t is
time we began to put little
golden enamel on our souls.
FOR EVERY AMERICAN WHO
CAFES REVERENTLY UPON
MR.. BoK'S SINGING TOWER
THERE ARE FIVE THOUSAND
OTHERS WHO WILL STREW
ITS BASE WITH EGG SHELLS,
COMIC SUPPLEMENT AND
GINGER ALE BOTTLES.
AS artists we're a great little
bunch of clam diggers.
And it isn't because we're too
young and haven't had time to get
around to it.
AS a matter of fact, there was a
very real appreciation of beauty
in the earliest days of America.
The austere New England homes
left us a heritage of loneliness
which we have not, as yet, equaled.
Nor have we been too hard
pressed by labor. Some of the
50 greatest art in the world has come
from the poorest, people. From the
peasants of Russia and Sweden,
Germany and Spain have come
rare treasures of songs and dances,
fabrics and carvings.
No, the plain and ugly truth is
that we have been and still are
too greedy for wealth to give
thought to beauty. And it's time
somebody took a fall out of us and
told us what's what.
President Coolidge did, but he
was so polite that most of us
won't appreciate it as much. We
are so complacently sure that we
Americans are 100 per cent in all
possible attainments. Well, we're
not. When it comes to beauty
we're pretty nearly 100 per cent

BECAUSE of his love of beauty
- and his friendliness to men,
Edward Box has given the ex-
quisite Singing Tower to the
people of America.
At the dedication Of the tower
former President Coolidge said
something of grave significance.
THE MATERIAL PROSPER.

1TUAL PROSPERITY" HE
SAID. FROM THE RAW MA
TERIALS A NATION HAS BEEN
CREATED AND NOW THE
GREAT BODY OF PEOPLE ARE
SUFFICIENTLY RELIEVE
FROM THE PRESSING NECES-
SITES OF EXISTENCE TO
GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO THE
ART OF LIVING"
Those words should inspire the
American spirit. THEY SHOULD
ALSO HUMBLE IT.
We are a rich and powerful
nation, but We are singularly poor
in that rarest of treasures
knowledge of beauty.
We surpass all other peoples in
knowing how to MAKE living
But we are pathetically ignorant
of how to enjoy that living after
we have made it.
We are almost as limited in our
idea Of the art of living as jungle
savages.
We dance as they dance,
We watch shows as they watch
shows.
We play games which others
have invented.
We sing songs which others
have written.
We eat rich food and laugh and
crack jokes.
We travel about.
But we see very little as we
travel about.
If the sunset is sufficiently
lurid, or the flowers sufficiently
profuse, we notice them with the
same crude enjoyment with which
we notice the electric signs on
Broadway. But we know nothing
of that deep, quiet love of beauty
which prompts the Japanese. for
example, to organize grave pill.
