Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 April 1885 — Style a Good Thing. [ARTICLE]

Style a Good Thing.

The common herd needs a little of it, intermingled with the plain, to nlake the picture complete. All good clothing and bright colors would grow monotonous if it were not for the tender shades poverty and simplicity throw into the paths of business and society. To be sure, you get the best tokiches of human nature from the humble. The poor furnish the best lessons of life. Those who struggle for bread or a place in the world teach us the most and tell us the best stories that are written. Culture is too apt to make us liars. Perhaps not of the offensive sense, but jn reality. To sit on the wheel of fortune and stop at the stile marked style and fashion means to appear what we are not and act what we do not believe. To cultivate the graces alone is to be a cheap actor. It is better to be rude, natural, and honest than polite and insincere.—Philadelphia News,.
