Home Beauty.

A TASTEFUL woman can make a garret beautiful and home-like at a little cost, for the beauty of home depends more upon education and refined taste than upon mere wealth. If there is no artist in the house it matters little that there is a large balance at the bank. There is usually no better excuse for a barren home than ignorance or carelessness. A little mechanical skill can make brackets and shelves for the walls. A thoughtful walk in the woods can gather leaves and ferns for adorning the unpictured rooms. A trifle saved from daily expenses can now and then put a new book upon the table or shelf. The expenditure of a few dollars can convert the plain window into a laboratory. In these and many other ways can a plain, barren room be converted into a scene of beauty.
