spring effects in Draperv Stuffs, Fur
niture Coverings, Den Furnishings,
etc, and refer especially to beautiful
Cretonnes, Denirns, Hungarian
Cloth, Art Ticllings, etc, in oriental

One of the seasons fads is to have
room decorated with some one OF
these materials, with sofa pillows,
portieres, table covers, work baskets
and various hangings to match. For
the summer cottage this makes a
very attractive and neat decoration,

THE END.
The War Dance.

Among many people Of every age
dancing has had n warlike significance,
and there are many tribes now that 10
resort To the war dance. The famous
Pyrrhic dance represented the overtak-
ing OF an enemy and doing battle with
him. Today among the Zulus grand
dances are merely the accompaniment
to the collcQuial war and hunting
songs, in which the women put qucs-
tions which are answered by the men.
There are mimic fights, which go by
the name Of war dunces. almost uni
ycrsal among tribes to which war -
one OF the great interests of life. The
bravery dance OF the Dahomeyans and
the hoolee OF the Hhil tribe In the
Vindhya hills Of lnIin are the most apt
illustrations.
Nearly all savage tribes have regu-
lar war dance, so that II Is scarcely
possible to select one ms having n more
warlike significance than the rest. All
the performers appear In fighting cos
tune. handle their weapons and ~
through the movement OF challenge.
conflict. pursuit or defeat. There is
one very picturesque dance OF the M
tai kafiirs which probably refers to
the departure OF the warriors for bat-
tie. The women appeal plaintivcly Ia
the men. who slowly withdraw. stamp
Ing on the ground and darting their
short spears OF assagals toward the
sky.
