THE sERPEyTINE DANCE.

Bradley Is deserving of great praise. A man OF
slight training, he has come TO appointment place
from his splendid sense of the value of black
and white. His use of black has always been
his strong point; he has massed 1t deliberately
and wisely; his work has been knowing, and 1t
is always self-conscious. 1t is artistically arti-
fetal. II is never accidental.
From the day he made the decorations for the
stove company until he drew the pictures repro
duced in this number of the Chdp-BOok he has
religiously devoted himself to black and has de-
vcioped a manner all his own.
So far little of his work has appeared in a
place to attract general attention. He has done
several things for Vogue, pleasant bits OF black,
borders. head pieces. and the like. quite unlike
what any one else does, and interesting for that
reason.

There are two varieties of sable said the
manager; 1.-THE Russian and the American or
Hudson Bay sable, the skin Of the former being
far the more valuable. The American sable Is
distinguished In color from the Russian by the
tinge of white on its legs and feet. There is a
third variety. the Japanese sable. the least val

an the legs and feet. To illustrate the diff
