So many people think If they have an ill fitting dress, eat a badly cooked dinner and have no ravishment in tho clean, sweet use of the senses, they are leading a moral life. It is a pro found depth of Immorality to bo able to live without beauty, and perhaps the most tragic thing In our social sys tem la. that w hile one class has a sur feit of beauty and show which they mistake for beauty, another class la deprived of beauty altogether. It It more beauty wo want aud less luxury. SMttrs In Army.
