f k, , , 4 B 1 THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 30, 1920. i t Arden And : . We alt mve the thrill, whitever It nature may be, of knowing the teauriful. ,Ve etk out guides who, !re think, can lead ut into its full ccitacy. These guide! at their best are those who have threaded the greatest variety of paths into the ! forest of Arden and learned the art of losing themselves therein A4 their worst, if they are guides at all, they are those who have learned one ttraight road through, with a virtu ous blindness for every byway. What complicates the task of pic ture appreciation then is the tact that the ways into it are so many and so easily overlooked, not that they are so few. There is first of all the simple joy of recognition: recog nition of mere subject, recognition , of episode, recognition of allegory, recognition of philosophical truism. These things have been painted into pictures from prehistoric times, and they exist by a kind of mutual under standing between the atist and his public. The more trite and obvious the . subject episode, allegory, or truism, the more elementary and ac cessible the esthetic -experience, 'When they exist in a work without the presence of unaccountable, mystifying, additional stimuli to our human' curiosity, we have, pictures which pletse the many with a genuinely esthetic appeal but not! the few who have learned to require the savor of a deeper experience. For the latter there is a plateau 'which calls- for the exertion of a little climb. There is another plane of recognition a recognition of less obvious things, a recognition that tails forth the exercise of intelligence and even discrimination. For ex ample: we have a pleasure in know ing when we see it the work of a given artist, with the attendant satisfaction of a little knowledge of his life,- his struggles, and his suc cessessubjects all leading quite awiftly away from the essential enr joymtnt of the work of art itself but helping nevertheless to form the tapestried background, which en- riches our central pleasure in 1t. We may have the added " joy which a knowledge of the historic setting gives the racial, the religious, the political, the geographical conditions which gavfe thfc work its character. The observation of these, the perccp- , tion of the medieval flavor, the not ing of the distinction between the . classic Roman and the classic Greek, ' or between the renaissance Italian and the Flemish feeling, the tracing of cross influences these are pleasures of a more subtle type, scientific and intellectual, perhaps, but nearer to a realization of the esthetic purpose of works of art, since (hey bring into play reserves , of vtsml imagery which, though they lie outside the canvas, 4re accessible only through ii All these are forms of appreciation which a literary edu cation may develop in part at least carried farther they are the conven tional 'university" forms of art ap preciation, the experiencing of sense phenomena through intellectual translation. A plateau demanding of the lay- ' man a somewhat stiffer climb is that on which we come in contact with technical distinctions: whether a work is a painting or a print, whether the painting has been done in oil or in tempera, whether the print is a mezzotint or a lithograph. Here again the layman may acquire knowledge because technical proc esses can to a certain point be "described in words; he must, how ever, soon support his reading (if it is to be intelligible) by a comparison of examples, and his visual discrim ination is brought to a finer test while it is being sharpened. He is coming closer to the artist in his paint of view. ) " At last the wayfarer on the path- ; ways of art appreciation finds him self in the realm of pure choice, where the position of this or that "interest" in the picture, the distri bution of ) these spots of color, hitherto a matter of indifference, be come questions of supreme moment. The composition of symphonies of color and form regardless of subject, 1 Just let the var nish, dry ind then we'll open the new ! I Store ' 1908 Farnam Street ' This is going to be another real service station the mer chandise will be just like that in the Daddy Pray store, the same big kind of assort- ments, and with it all 'will be CRAY'S fair prices. We are opening this new store so that you will find it easy to. always trade with PRAY and know that to many of our friends it will be a popu lar location. , ; well gle yoi tin ' opeatng data later. Olympus story, or symbol, the registering of intention design in every touch of pigment to canvas when no con trolling factor save pure taste can be brought into play this may well be regarded as the final art of that aggregation of arts called painting, And so the appreciation of the beauty in works of art is a sum of many things. The most elementary pleasures blend with the most subtle, the realities in the painting give the imagination points of departure for the most tenuous of fancies. The deeply versed lover of pictures has more ways of lo'ving them than does the novice, and this is why he finds beauty in some whose appeal for the novice is nil. The opening of the avenues of appreciation is a con scious analytical process. The en joyment of ' pictures is not this process, but comes as a result of it. The hours we spend listening in the galleries to guides to the esthetic world are not truly experiences with pictures at alL but preparations for tnese. Shoppers and Buyers Are Different Most American housewives see to it that their beds are made up before they sally forth on a buying expedi tion but thousands of them don't make up their minds. They go down town,, not to buy a specific, needed article, but to shop. And the differ ence between a buyer and a shopper is that the first makes up her own mind and the salesman or dealer acts as mental chambermaid for the latter. To buy properly, requires a prede termination or what is necessary and desired and the amount possible to expend. To shop, only currency in the handbag or a charge account is required and a hat and veil offer poor disguise to the shopkeeper for, a tousled mind. v To realize the extent to which the salesman or saleswoman controls the expenditure of the shopper it is only necessary to listen to the open ing dialogue betweeiKthem. It may run something like this: , "Good .' morning, madam, what may I show you?" "I wish to look at some georgette waists please." The saleswoman, if she knows her business, realizes at once that the shopper does! not know hers. Does she take down for inspection the georgette waists which offer the greatest value and the best service for the smallest outlay of money? She does not. She exhibits the most expensive novelty on the shelves; the one " which offers the greatest net profit to the merchant. And along with the first garment placed before the customer, she lays the mysterious and hard work ing "they." ' ' J. ii v. j nic rt v. a 1 1 1 1 uiav. iunv extensively this season," says the shopgirl. Or if the shopper requests to be shown something simpler or less expensive, "Yes, we have them but 't'hey' are not wearing them now." Did you ever stop to think .who the mysterious "they" are? We are they. Ninety per cent of the buying of the United States is in the hands of the women. If the women of the United States do not want an article and do not buy it, no merchant can afford to keep it. It becomes that horror of department store man agers, a ""sticker." And a depart ment store pays its buyers thou sands of dollars a year in order 'not to have stickers in stock. It is within our power and our province to determine what the merchant shall keep and what he shall sell. We determine what is being , worn and what shall be dropped. Yet thousands of women let salesmen, with their tongue in their cheeks, dictate what they shall buy and what they shall pay. Gen eral Federation Magazine. FOR MEN at Announces Engagement ft 3 MISS fttYWOUSV Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Reynolds an nounce the engagement "of their daughter, Kathrine. to Patrick Dolan of Waterloo. Ia. The marriage wi,ll take place the latter part of June. Miss Reynolds is prominent in mu sical circles in this city. . Women in Industry. t ' It is estimated by the federal board for vocational education, one of Uncle Sam's agencies concerned with the boy and girl problem that in 1919 there were 11,000,000 women and girl wage earners. An industrial survey of New York City disclosed that four out of every five girls had dependents and were forced into the field of industry by necessity. The 1910 United States census re port shows that 47 per cent of the entire female population of the United States are or have been, mar ried; that one out of every four women was a wage earner, and one out of every four; wage earners a married woman. In the third an r.ual report, the federal board of vo cational, education states that there are more persons engaged in home making than in any other single' oc cupation; there were about 45,000,000 women of 20 or more years of age in .the United States in 1910. of whom 80 per cent were married and assumes that it is but fair to' say that, as large a proportion of the girls under 20 years of age will eventually marry. ADVERTISEMENT SIMPLE APPLICATION THAT DISSOLVES V BLACKHEADS No' more squeezing and pinching; to get rid ot those unsightly blemishes, black heads. There is one simple, safe and aura way to set them out and that is o dis solve them.

P Sale to 412 North 16th Street $2.95 Veimer Shoe Prolong the Life of Your Silk r Stockings Every woman who likes to be well dressed knows what a trial it is to keep herself well stocked with the indispensable silk stockings. iThe new pair, after the first wearing, fre quently shows a "runner" and that is the "beginning of the end." A few suggestions as to how to prolong the life of stockings will be a real boon' to every woman. A good plan is to buy a half dozen or so pairs alike. After one pair has been worn it should be laid aside until all the others have been worn. Then come back to the first pair, and so on in turn. Since all your stockings are alike, you can patch them up after they begin to wear beyond repair. Even a "run" need not ruin a sHk stocking" if properly .treatttjl. .When you first notice one starting, take a crochet needle and catch up the threads as you would in crocheting. This is very much better than sew ing it up, since the break mended in this way can scarcely be noticed. When trje stocking begins to wear thin, darn' over the place before it is entirely worn through. It will look much better and will not require nearly so much time. If the darn is in a conspicuous place, use a strand of silk pulled from an old stocking. This will look much better than if tegular darning silk is used.
