The art, architecture and furnishâ€" ing of the millionaire home, therefore, is of that weird modernistic school that lies betweenâ€"realism and the cubist‘s angular "expressions." The oil paintings which adorn the walls, by the way, are from the brushes of some of the most eminent of contemâ€" porary painters, and some of them have adorned the most important salâ€" ons in Paris, London and New York. Over $189,000 in insurance was taken out to cover these borrowed paintings against loss or damage durâ€" ing the period of their use by the movie company.

The traction obtained by the other wheel may do the work. We find therefore the problem. of life settled in doing something; being engaged in work of some kind; having our time so occupied that it does not hang heavy; utilizing the moments, that at the close of the day, one may say in truth, I have done.toâ€"day what I ought to have done, and sleep the sleep of the righteous. Don‘t forget to have your oil filter cleaned or replaced every 10,000 miles or so. When it becomes clogged with dirt, it ceases to function as a filter. Said one not long ago, I have been hungry, I have been cold, I have been miserable, and I have been lowly. Noâ€" body hated it more than I did, and when I had to get out, and get, and show the stuffing I was made of, the grit that was in me, I found it hard ploughing, and difficult. But bless you, it is grand to be a worker, to do something worth doing, to prove that you are not a parasite, a_drone, a nonâ€"producer, a nonâ€"entity; to rejoice always, that you are a somebody, doâ€" ing something worth doing, not only for your own life, but for the lives of others. This stops you from substiâ€" tuting a wish bone, for a black bone. To the ordinary person life is a hard problem. To the person born with the silver spoon, it is one continual holiday, until surfeited by all the world can give, then life begins to be a hard and difficult problem. There are those who have tasted all that the world can give, they have journeyed to the ends of the world, until it became wearying, they have eaten, and drank, until their constitutions repel anyâ€" thing offered to them, they _ have adorned themselves with purple and fine linen, with all kinds of decoraâ€" tions, until it became an odious and neuscating process, and life is a bore, and they are sick of everything. Life therefore is a problem, that is agitaâ€" ting the minds of all the philosophers in this, and other ages.
