Beauty In Reach of the Poorest
Iu a small Southern city lives a
woman who has learned the secret
of living beautifully on an income
which is almost pitifully small
She not only lives beautifully,but
her home has an atmosphere of re
finement which is found in lew
homes with many times her in
come, and it is the meeting place
of all who can lay claim to culture
in her town.
“There is an atmosphere about,
her like the fragrance of incense
in a cathedral,” I once heard an
admirer say. And she has a gen
ius for see ing the beautiful. I w as
speaking to her about this ugly
little town, and what do you sup
pose she said? She took me into
her sitting room and pointing to
a vase of red roses in a wedgewood
pitcher, asked if I could think of
anything more beautiful. “Why
think of the ugly town, when you
can think of the beautiful roses?”
she asked. There will always be
ro9es for blue pitchers—and most
of us can manage to have a blue
pitcher.”
This woman has never been able
to travel, but she is familiar with
all the beautiful places of earth
and the creations of art from con
versation with friends who travel
ed, and from pictures. The few
cheap pictures which adorn her
walls are copies of masterpieces,
but they cost only a few pennies.
She speaks of the privilege of
knowing those who can converse
about their travels, and not about
the hardship of being deprived to
travel.
Her plain table was set m ith
taste, and flowers are placed upon
it as regularly as the dishes.
Finally, she assumes a high
mindedness on the part of her ac
quaintances which removes from
her thought any idea of humilia
tion because of her poverty. She
presides over her humble home
with the dignity of a queen.
And all of this on an income
out of which many women suc
ceed iu achieving nothing but
cheap tawdiness and threadbare
makeshift. —Sel.
Buying by Mail.
It sounds mighty patriotic to
the home merchant, of course, to
hear the home paper lambast the
mail order citizen. The merchant
winks his left eye, and says in an
undertone: “That’s good doctrine,
give it to 'em, old trout!” and
contiou - to gather up the little
fruits, L ~’>y fall, from the local
newspaper’ll efforts, and stores
them away for home consumption.
But if the local merchant only
realized it, it is own fault if the
mail crder house gets any business
that he could handle. The foreign
merchant can only reach the con
sumer by advertising extensively.
That he finds it profitable to keep
up this expensive advertising is a
positive answer to the little mer
chant’s'frequent inquiry, “Does
advertising really pay?” If it did
not pay, the mail order house
would quit it, and would go out
of business, and the consumer
would be forced to nose about in
the scheduled corners of the non
advertising merchant in search of
his needs.
The home merchant has the
same opportunity to reach his
neighbors, and for less expense,
than the mail order house; often
he could stop the out-going of
cash by a little judicious publici
ty. He need not expect people to
come pleading to be shown his
wares, when the big house in a
distant city is continually bom
barding them with facts about
its books.
The newspaper may owe it to
the home town to assist in the
warfare against the mail order
house, but the home merchant
owes it to himself to get busy al
so in an intelligent way—Excange.
