One talks with men and women who have had exceptional artistic advan tages, and who are considered by their neighbors to be good amateurs as well as connoisseurs in this or that art, and when one discovers to his sorrow that they have actually no conception of the scope and real intent of the art to which they have devoted much time and more money, one feels' Keenly the need of simplicity, the need of going back from our histories to our alphabet.
