Where Customers Can Have Their Wants

Among the many places Of business Of

The bakery Is a peculiarly domestic

to keep bakeries open nights; but here
where with the city's manifold Industries
there must he large numbers Of people
working at all times to keep things going
there are bakeries That do keep open and

MATCHES IN THE CITY.
Fewer Sold Than Formcriy-The Cisa'
DeaIen Fave Spoiled the Trade.

A dealer who has the statistics to back
up his statement said to a customer:
There are fewer matches sold in New
York city in proportion to the population
than were sold here twenty-five years
ago. We carry larger stocks than for
merly. but we rely on country orders in
disposing Of the stocks.
: Anybody who will stop TO think about
the cause will understand it. Twenty
five years ago the cigar dealers did not
resort to matches to advertise their goods.
The dealer either had a gas stem on his
counter at which the smoker lighted his
cigar or he had a tray Of matches on the
counter. or the matches we're placed in
a box, and II the cigar customer carried

but they help to reduce the sale OF

and few moccasin signs occur more
frequently. ~
The figure denoting the four winds
or -four cardinal points. usually takes the
form OF a cross with limbs Of equal length
and seems not to be confined to any one
tribe. At times the cross takes the form
OF the swastika.
One Of the Government scientists asl,e
an Indian to interpret a certain piece Of
decoration, The latter said that tho
straight lines meant straight paths, a good
life, and that the cross shown meant tho
morning star, The streak of red at the
ed re meant the rising Of the sun, the littie
triangies along the bottom Of the pattern
indicated clouds, DC.
The thunder bird, or eagle. apnears

OF nearly all the plains tribes in the form
Of a moro or less elaborated figure based
on the double triangle. A few shnrp
lines AZ the bottom OF this figure change

method OF denoting the stif tail fenthers
OF the latter.
The eagle figure hos almost "a wide n

H. Is a notable fact that the experts OF
the Bureau Of Ethnology now know more
about moocasin signs than do ths Indians
themselves. Indeed II Ia said that II Won

caterpillar. the centipede, the butterfly.
though the ordinary observer would never
think these objects were intended to be
represented.
Some OF the designs puzzle even the ex-
perts. Thus there are three separate and
distinct signs for the bears foot. ranging
in appearance to the uninitiated from
an oven to a three pronged fork. 1t
further appears that these symbols OF
the bears foot are found only among the
A~rapahoes, and are all different from the
emblems OF the same object in use among
the tribes OF the northwest coast.
Many persons have seen the painted
geometric effect OF alternate color squares
on a moccasin front and have probably
thought the design merely geometric,
but in no doing they would be following
a white mans trend OF thought and not
an Indians. The latter is designed to
convey the idea OF the coating Of the
buhalo's intestine or stomach. The moe
casin sign for buralo-that is. the entire
animal, among the Arapahoes is simply
a plain. solid oolored rectangle.
Fol depicting the human eye upon his
moccasins the Arapahoe had his own ideas.
One Of his methods for representing the
windows OF the soul upon his shoes was
a solid colored r~ectangle in a larger open
rectangle. Stil another wa something re.

another was just a plain reotangle with

Southwestern tribes. The signs used

4 STORY ON THE MOCCASIN
MEANING or THE PATTERNS
on INDIAN FOOTWEAR.
Discoveries Of Government Scientists
Each Pair OF MoCcaslns Tells Its Own
stsry. but 1t Ia Often Hard to Read
Significance OF Certain symbols.

Government scientists have been
studying the meaning Of the patterns
worked In beads and quilts upon Indian
moooasins and have learned some in
terosttng things about them. 1t has long
been known that nearly all native Indian
decoration is symbolic as well as orna-
mental, but il was only lately that the
moocasin patterns were discovered TO
have special significance.
The Indian artists largest canvas was
. buffalo robe. In his moccasin decora-
lions he IA confined to the space OF "A
small piece Of buckskin. Upon this the
picture story, or the signs which stood for
It, had to be shown in quilts or beads,
p not very plastic medium.
Glasses Of symbols had to be invented
for the moccasin, and the Indian deco
rator. who ever in his freest field only
indicated the whole by q part. was here
reduced 10 his least dimensions, Never
thaless he contrived to represent upon
tie humble field OF the foot covering his

best he has done for q long time.
.The Swallowed Face" by Frank Dioksee

| pictures OF the year. Its rival. MS far az
popularity goes. will be the Hon. John
Golfers Land Baby n realistically
painted mermaid gazing at a tiny human
child who. has strayed all alone to the
edge OF the ocean. In MIR. Dicksee's
picture the face OF the Christ thrown into
shadow by the stained glass window gives
the work it's title. At the foot Of the
cruoihx kneels a nun.
Edward Stott's pictures are also deeply
religious in feeling. Though he simply
uses. the titles. -The Two Mothers and
The Flight they represent the Virgin
and. Child and the fight into Egypt as
much as though they we're so labelled.
Byam Shaw gives a touch OF distinction
to everything he does. whether it is a
poster for &" pageant, a heraldic design
or a large decorative picture. This year
he strikes a new note in The New Voice
where he shows a group Of nymphs re-
Ginning around a seated figure Of Pan
reused from their twilight sonhnolence by
the voice Of an evangelist proclaiming
the message Of the Cross.
In Rude Boreas. Mr. Shaw reverts to
his earlier style. 1t is a dainty little
picture. SO vital and fresh that you can

modern dress in an ordinary seaside
town. but how much more picturesque IL
is than the faxed stun in Georgian or
Tudor costumes that fifth rate artists

matter Of that at many Of the modern

II has boon an interesting feature OF
the moccasin studies to discover II among

Indian symbolism there are any signs Of

such signs, though there are some figures

accepted meaning.

A triangle with the point downward
