is that it is monotonous big talk
from persons on parade trying to
attract favor by fattering the pre-
Gudices of prejudiced persons. 1t is
in conversation one finds real opin-
ions.
Oscar Wilde, most tremendous OF
critics of plain people, once made
an admission I thought surprising.
He wrote: Zone who is entirely
ignorant of the modes of Art in its
revelation, or the moods of thought
in its progress; of the pomp OF the
Latin line, or the richer music OF
the voweled Greek; of Tuscan sculp-
ture or Elizabethan song, may yet

nothing of Tuscan sculpture, VOW
