cheap ma .erials, which had no leaYen-

All That G|itterS-..

All that glitters is not gold,
because most of it is beads, bu-
giles, sequins or fish scales,
1t is the same old glitter that
attracted Pochantas. For beads
the Spaniards bought gold mines
of the Aztes centuries ago, the
Puritans traded them for broad
acres of rich farm lands. and TO
day American sailors swap them
with the Eskimos for rare Arctic
furs.
The delight in glitter is plim
tive and chi ish instinct. 1t is
nine which first catches the in,
fant's eye :
Civilization has rot resisted
its tawdry claim any better than
it has resisted the war instinct.
In a decade of emotional strain it
is inevitable that beads and bull
lets should both hold mans at
tention.
Today women will pay 500
for a spangled gown which they
will be able to buy for SO next
year
But save your beads, ladies.
for they come into fashion as
often as war. You'll need 'em
as long as the optic nerve re-
spends pleasurab!y to the vibra-
tion of light. as long as the audi
tory nerve joys in the beating of
drums and the wish of shrapnel.
