"The Fatherland,' George Sylvester

little bit yesterday also to discourage
the parade, sending out an advance

caption, "Morgan's Great War Parade

inner side Of the abalone shells, form
ing the interior Of the dishes, is re-
markedly attractive.
But it is when shells are employed
not to initiate something else In nature
but for the sake OF their own beauty
that the most admirable ornamental ef-
fects are obtained with them. This
principle does not forbid their use in
the form OF headdresses, belts, PEN
dants, etc.
Thus at the musuem there may be
seen a life-size figure of a Tahitian
"fire-walker," with his head encirclsd
with a garland OF shells which have not
been disguised in the form OF imitation
flowers. Primitive man in this respect
has really shown better taste than civ
ilized man, for among savage tribes
shells were not used imitHtively, al
though they were often employed as
symbols
The Fijian chiefs wore the orange
cOWry as a badge Of office, and shells,
used simply as shells because they were
in themselves beautiful, have been
found among the personal adOrnments
Of early man in all parts OF the world
Another use Of shells more truly
esthetic than their employment to make
imitation flowers is the adoption OF
their forms and their combinations OF
color as suggestions In the arts. Mr..
Ruskin thought that he could trace
such suggestions. derived from the

l. L Bella North. She had the good
sense not to adopt too queer a non de
