Effect, of Beauty In
The Home
. ' " r MAMIE. N. WilSNANT
Assistant Extension Specialist, Hone
' . Hansfeawat and House Farnishings
With the coming of spring time in
ill of lt reahni and new life, I
wonder,' It I stop -to drink in the
beauty of the bright greens, browns,
yellows, and reda if there really are
people in the world who fail to
or feel this heauty.
; Do "yod. think people really feel
beauty? I do. I had a friend who
after', hearing "TOy beautiful music
made this remark, "It's bo beautiful
it hurts.; , ,
v. Surcly there cant be many people
who do not 1 enjoy beauty in their
surroundings whether seen or felt.
For beauty's sake, .people are willing
to pay more for going to the most
attractive eating places rather than
those with ordinary surroundings.
They feel there is enjoyment added
to their meal. Even though they do
not actually look at their surround
ings much, they are conscious of its
attractiveness.
Some people can't sing a tune but
appreciate fine music as well as those
who do sing. The opposite may be
true. There are different degrees of
appreciation of beauty as well as
musk. Children may be taught to
love beauty by a person who really
appreciates it and who is always
noticing beautiful. things and calling
' the chad's attention" to it, whether it
be a tree, a sunset, a picture, a flower
arrangement, or anything that is
really beautiful. It is the same as
learning to like certain foods by con
stent tasting or learning to like
poetry or the writings of certain
authors.
So we grow to love good things to
which we are accustomed, whether
they are beautiful words, beautiful
music, or beauty in our homes. As
we grow up with beauty, it enriches
our lives.
Often I have hearC mothers make
this remark, "Our rugs and furniture
are bad looking but will do while the
children are growing up. Then, we
will get better furniture and things
for the house."
Mothers, the most worthwhile time
in life, both for you and your chil
dren, is while your children are
growing up and still at home with
you. It is during the growing period
that the home influence is the strong
est it will ever be for teaching chil
dren to appreciate lovely things about
them and also to respect and care for
them. Beauty appreciation taught at
this time will remain with them
throughout life.
There should be beautiful satisfy
ing things in and about the home
while children in that home are in
training for their future life work,
life habits and happiness.
. Homemakers of North Carolina
have a wonderful opportunity to teach
beauty appreciation because of their
closeness to things in nature: grain
-fields,' hills, trees in continual color
changes, cattle in the fields, and
beautiful sunrise and sunset skies.
We must im the beautv in these
things and then talk about it to oth-j
ers who may not recognise the beauty,
quite so easily. Often the toil ana
cares of life prevent us from getting
full enjoyment and appreciation of!
There is a little verse of six lines
that expresses exactly the sjate of
mind due to overwork that sometimes
causes us to miss beauty about us.
Here it is:
If you put your nose to the grind
stone rough,
And hold it down there long enough,
Some day you will find there is no
.-, such thing
As brooks that babble and birds that
Sing,
Three things will all your world
compose,
i- Just You and the Stone and Your
Durn'd Old Nose. .
People all differ in beauty appro
priation. One may see beauty in
beautiful young horse, and wish to
, own one. Another sees beauty in
- curtains and furniture that harmonize
, with, each other against a beautiful
background. There was once a man
A' who toot the curtains down from a
' window' and I put picture molding
J around the window in place .of the
, curtains. He enjoyed the beautiful
t picture of nature which he could see
through the window better than, he
" ' liked the curtains.. '; f fS'i'Ktlv
? Order is one of the chief essentials
j of beauty. It is in every beautiful
i picture and no home is beautiful
. without order. There is an old say
' ing, 'Order is Heaven's First Law."
- It issomething, we can all have 'at
y very;Tittle cost The more we study
. tad work out beautiful units in color,
' , order, or balance,. the better we will
'"; be able to do it and the more joy we
will get out of it Disorder in the
thorns makes people nervous and ir
ritable and family harmony almost
r Impossible. . The home is so x much
' more happy, and interesting" when
f every fainily member in that home
' sees beauty hi and about it. It may
be the new arrangement in the living
' - room where each member has a cer
, ! tain seat or place off of his own, or it
may be little courtesies shown each
other or even facial expressions. This
is beauty in character and is surely
' the most worthwhile beauty in thei
Universe. Let us all, as individuals, I
strive to enrich our homes by living
3 1 :- :ul lives, and by our will
.

. The vegetable marrows make
si delectable dish for the gar
dener who grows them. They are
best cooked when very young.
Pick them when the skin is so
tender it breaks with a slight
pressure of the thumb. They like
rich soil, good cultivation and
plenty of moisture during dry
spells. Destroy bugs as you
would on squash or cucumbers.
The bush type marrow should be
picked when ooly.3 inches long.
Start indoors xoj: early crop, and
outdoors for late summer crop.
