the work as to facial lines and charac-

Five casts are made before the por-

the permanent cast S made it is done

this cast is hardened, Hend,ey, with the

make the cast of the Indians, Henry
Hendley. is an adept in the work. botl
from a technical point of view and in
devices to overcome the often manifest
scruples of the subjects. The finished
busts which Mr.. Hendley produces are
truly marvellous in their living express
sion, while their fidelity to nature is
owing to the process employed, neces-
sarily exact. 1t is a high tribute to
the truth of Catlins portraits, some
what crude as they are in technique,
thao the life casts of modern Indians
bear a striking general resemblance to
the painted representations.
To the making OF the portrait busts Mr..
Hendley devoteS a great deal of his time,
but this is by no means all he has to do.
He initiates various kinds Of stones, from
the most precious quartz to the insignifi-
cant pebbles which line a beach. These
limitations are considered almost perfect,
and the originals can only be distinguish
ed by one familiar with the articles.
Hendley has just completed imitation
of large piece of jade, and the genu-
inc article is exactly like the other ex-
cept in weight.
Articles made from bone are also imi-
tated with plaster and papier nlache.
Besides, Hendley must be an adept in
the lost arts of the Indians He must
know their methods of painting and
decorating the earthenware which has
made the old tribes of the southwest
famous. Each piece of pottery is differ
ent in design, and there is very seldom a
repeater" The latter term is used by
Hendley to mean that two pieces are
alike. Much of this old pottery comes
from the graves of Indians long since
gone to the happy hunting ground
and it is in pieces, shattered by con-
tact. From these hundreds Of pieces the
original pottery is remade, athe particles
being fastened together and the missing
pieces being manufactured from plaster.
In this way the painting on the pottery
is often broken--that Is. the lines are
abruptly ended and then continued at
some other point in tae pottery.
Hendley has made a study of the In
dian arts and knows the meaning of each
line. The pottery always has a meaning
the broken piece In keeping with the In
Indian pottery represent the various
things which the redskins were acquaint-
ed with. For instance. one piece will
have a number of zigZag lines mingled
with straight lines. The former lines
represent lightning and the others falling
rain while a number of other lines will
show the clouds in a crude way Then
taking the piece Of pottery as "a whole,
it will mean welcome rain" These
ideas must be carried out in the mending
of a piece of pottery: and Hendley him.

Costume and Sculpture.

While on the subject Of modern costume

surely be made of the statue of Sir
Sidney Waterlow, erected in the other
wise beautiful park bearing his name, on
the western slopes of Highgate hill. 1t

the staff of the Tailor and Cutter to do
full justice to the sartorial beauties OF

outstanding features are Trilby hat and
an umbrella in one hand; key. probably
meant as symbol, but rather suggestive
of prehistoric sanitary arrangements. in

coat and an overcoat. The name of the
sculptor is not visible on the monument,
and the park keepers will not divulge it.
They are either ignorant or kindly.

Teller with the squeaky shoes would sip

he'd resolve that that night he'd for a

squeaky shoes in water to take the

That was one of the vain and futile
methods whereby the owners of squeaky

advantage of this process over the old

hoof is trimmed SO evenly in this way
that the shoe is much easier to adjust
