fountain head OF style and design. The
men whose clever art had made the
standards OF the world were busy on
the front and new designs could
neither be bought, borrowed, nor
stolen by the American mills.
Boon for Designers.
1t was at this moment that the
textile department OF the American
Museum of Natural History stepped
into the breach and pointed out a new
road to the unhappy fabric design
ers.
America has a native art of her
own, older and more intrinsically
beautiful than the Oldest peasant art
IN Europe" declared NJ d. c. Craw-
ford, research associate in textiles.
Here in our own land we have. with
the exception of the Egyptians, the
Oldest decorative art in the world. 1t
Is an untouched gold mine to the
American designers who will have
the nerve to back their artistic judg-
ment. 1t Is a new art, even though
1t be twenty centuries old. Come all,
We doubters, and be convinced"
1t took Mr.. Crawford a long time
to interest the American mills. The
new designs would be radical steps
and 1t would take courage and more
than little faith to put forward
such unusual departures as would re-
suit from going back to this primitive
American art. But the manufactur-
ers were desperate and finally last
fall sent their designers to Mr.. Craw-
ford's department to investigate.
Folklore In weayes.
Some of the designs copied were
circular discs set in backgrounds of
solid colors. One represented the in
terlocking Of sand and water in Lake
Texcoco In the valley of Mexico: an
other the sacred flower of Inca. the
ruling tribe in ancient Peru. taken d.
rectly from a Peruvian poncho ic the
museum; third was an Aztec snake
design, and still another an unusual
basket design from Pueblo. with the
break In the circle so that the evil
spirit might escape.
Designs of stripes were also Adopt
ed in considerable numbers. Some of
these were taken from Aztec gar
mentS while others We're drawn from
pots found at Lake Titicaca, in Peru,
the highest large lake in the world.
