birds (mostly domestic fowls) into
new forms. Each feather is regarded
with an eye to its possibilities in the
evolution of something new by the
manufacturers. Even the tiny feath-
ers from the neck of the pigeon or
peacock are handled separately, in
making up the most expensive pieces.
Just lately, large butterflies made of
these, pasted to foundation, covered
on the outside and inside of the
wings with the tiny feathers have
made us marvel at the work of the
designers. You can imagine the
sheen Of the wings and the splendor
of color. The bodies are of velvet

gold cord.
