silks that, for the most part, are adaDted
to the so-called sports or out-ot door

and it is marvelously interesting both
from the standpoint of intrinsic beauty
and from the standpoint Of national
effort and design. The source of the in
spiration is the South American Indian.

Ecuador and Peru and Contra! America
The ava race to which many OF the
beautiful colors and designs can be
traced, is to be sure nearly extinct, but
the inhabitants OF Guatemala are their
direct descendants Absolutely simple
form is the essential characteristic and,
as matter OF course. brilliant color, but
the color is not crude and the forms are
truly artistic in their very simplicity.
while they lend themselves to variation
with singular success. The silks referred
to shoH notably design that is taken
from the flower OF the Inca which IS
truly the simple flower of the field conven-
tionalized in a most delightful manner,
designs that are taken from the Mexican
war shield and various geometrical
figures that arc difficult to describe but
are combined in most interesting and
wonderful ways Their very primitive

is simplicity that always is beautiful
