must have felt the want of some means
of cmbellishing his work, and so the art
of illuminating was begun The earliest
work known is the Egyptian papyri, CON
tanning portions Of the Ritual, or Book
of the Dead" which is ornamented with
many drawings and coored pictures. Ex-
ceptng the above no other manuscripts
of antiquity were, strictly speaking, ilu-
minated. The Greek and Roman mauu-
scripts Of the first century that have been
preserved to the present day were only
written. The oldest illuminated manu-
scripts, Of which there are two. are of the
fourth century. the Virgil Of the Vatican
and the Dioscoridcs Of Vienna. These
are ornamented in the byzantine style
with viguetteS
Through the middle ages, when litera-
ture was only produced in the form Of
manuscripts, this art was of the greatest
importance and was highly developed.
In the different opochs of that period il
was marked by great dvcrsties OF style
and appears to have received no less at
tcntion than any of the fine arts, but
when printing superseded written books

came extinct. This beautiful art has
again been brought into notice. and much

THE WHlRL OF FASHION.

The simplest piQue costumes in blue,

Canvas yelling is much used for demi-
dress gowns made in various fashiona-
BILE styles in which the bolero and
tucked skirt models are still prominent.
Any appearance Of swathing the
throat in folds OF heavy silk or satin
Is now considered wholly passe, and
where there are high neckbantls on
summer gowns they are Of the lishtest
and daintiest description.
