We were watchâ€" ing a group of Navajo women, rhymical creatures, guarding their sheep. They are regally tall, and wear the delightfully colored costumes of their tribe .â€" full skirts over many petticoats, and blouses of brilliantâ€" velvet hues. The combination of colors they don is exotic and intriguing : . . a kleidoscope of beauty matched only by the absorbed sunlight in desert sands. The Navajo women are of regal grace. They go about their afâ€" fairs withâ€"seeming unconcern as to the white man‘s opinion. They live in .the most desolate.regions of our land and have no convenâ€" iences. Water is scarce and hard, to haul over rocks and sandâ€"rutâ€" ted roads. Their art, their reâ€" ligious beliefs, their courage to keep â€" their unconquerable souls, regardless of the conqueror‘s teachings, fascinate and humble Without Benefit Of loving Americans. Take, for inâ€" stance, the handkerchief. I think it was less than four hundred years ago (Elizabethan era) that the small square of sheer linen was introduced to society. With the advancement in the manufacâ€" ture of soft tissues, the feminine world, at least, has given up the linen square except for coquetry. Many good brands of these conâ€" veniences are ‘universally usedâ€" and most regrettably and unâ€" hygienically thrown about. Neverâ€"theâ€"less, every morning I go over our front lawn with a spiked stick and a sack to pick up the soiled paper handkerchiefs of others. Lovely lady guests leave discarded tissues under the bedâ€" pillows or tucked between ‘the cushions of the sofa.Vases on endâ€"tablesâ€"and even booksâ€"are repositories for crumpled and forâ€" gotten tissues. 2 While we watched, my companâ€" ion snorted derisively as one young squaw, entirely without benefit of hanky cleared her nostrils resoundingly, then, reachâ€" ‘"How revolting!" exclaimed my friend. ‘"The dirty heathen!"

Your point is well taken, Feaâ€" ther "Pistor.â€"If "one ‘doesn‘t like realistic â€" portraiture, â€" stay: â€" away from such exhibitions. Of course such an experience as E. °B.‘s can sneak up on one, unawares. And I can understand E. B.‘s craving for something soothing (like a cup of tea, for instance) to offer a lift to the spirit after the drubbing it has taken from studying the realistic. My feeling is the same as reâ€" gards literature. Many artists of the pen feel that they must dip their fists down into muck and bring up filth to write about. It‘s there, of course, but why stir it up when one can impress upon the readers a better pictureâ€"if for no other reason than to keep an ideal before the mind‘s eye?

But why â€"not leave that to the historians? At the risk of being termed a Pollyanna, I must testiâ€" fy to a desire for stressing the beautiful side of life to balance the distorted, ugly slant so much in everyday evidence. 2+ How truly it has been said that one man‘s meat is another man‘s poison !
