By Prof. AIon Bemens.

Assistant Professor Of Fine Arts, Teachers
College, Columbia University.
IN 1909 an American artist, Mr. Abbott
Thayer and his brother. a naturalist.
4 published a book on ~Concealing Color
atien.s which dealt with the laws Of light,
color and pattern as applied by nature to
birds and animals. so that they become
partly or completely invisible. This book
is. so far as. know, the first one on the
science Of protective coloration.
In observations in woods and fields Mr..
Thayer learned that In certain lights birds
and animals appear to lose their soiidity
and become fat Further observation
proved that those creatures which had this
power were dark on top and very light IN
deneath, and that they seemed to disap-
gear most completely when the light fell
on them from above MI Thayer took
photographs Of a sphere darkened at
point on top where the most powerful light
falls and shaded to white where the
shadow Is deepest He found that this
sphere also lost its third dimension and
became fiat when placed before q neutral
background This treatment of solids the
discoverer called counter shading . prin-
ciple which forms the basis OF that science
Of protective coloration which ne cali
''canouflage"
Mr.. Thayer also points cut that nature
has used not only counter shading to con
ceal her brood from alien eyes. but has
even gone further than this in using imita-
tive color and initiative pattern. A deer
counter shaded and colored, standing mo-
tsonIess before his natural background of
gray and tan, is difficult to see; even more
50 is the grouse. who adds 10 this counter
shading and color imitation marvellous
Initiative pattern of the spots Of light and
dark Of its own background made by the
leaves and twiss Of its surroundings. The
rattlesnake is also marvelously disguised
N pale yellow and brown. the diamond
shaped spots being exactly those Of the
dead leaves over which it crawls. These
cases are but three Of the countless ex-
smples nature has given US.
There seems TO be much confusion con
corning the origin Of the word ~camou-
fage1 There are rumors ahoat that it
was the product Of the underworld of
Paris and came to its present position of
secure responsibility through ways both
devious and obscure. There is also cur
rent an opinion that it was used to denote
. mixture Of styles; a young architect

in the light and dark or dull in the
shadow. This increases the bulk. because
the light and dark sides are thrown in
strong relief. As the mathematician says,
It shows the third dimensioa"-it gives
depth
This Is especially true Of red. Can you
imagine a fat man dressed in red! He
would look more ike a barrel than ever.
Just the reverse is true Of blue. OF all
bright eoloTs the shadow side Of blue is
lighter and the light side darker than any
other color. To a certain extent the round
ness OF an object is destroyed by painting
It blue Hence your fat man viii look
thinner in blue ;han in any other color.
Black has a similar effect With the very
fat or the very thin it should be the aim
Il conceal as much as possible the lines
OF the figure. not just the outline, but
those lines That go in between or over
the figure which give it its third dimen-
sion
Any line ike that Of a belt helps
to establish the size. OF course, a fat
man hasn't any real waist line, but he
only makes himself worse BY trying to
have one, he must never let anything cut
him in two. In this case a half belt is
better than a whole one.
With madam it is the same. DiaT m
No explains why this is true. Lines that
run up and down give slenderness to the
figure. Lines that go across give the APP
pearance Of width. IN No. the upper end
CT this figure seems wider than the lower.
Then. again. it is very dangerous for
stout woman to wear any dress material
that shines. like glossy satin or hard
taffetas, for the strong contrast that the
light and dark areas make show the thick
ness by calling attention to It. The very
thin may wear a material Of that char
acter to great advantage. for every sur
face that catches the light makes her
seem, plumper Heavy satins and bro
cades and silver aud gold weayes are only
for the very slender Of hg'lres. and. we
may add the full OF purse.
A fat man must never wear plaids; most
Of them know it, but few seem 10 know
that in wearing a small round derby hat
they are simply assisting nature to make
them look ridiculous. A soft hat is less
likely to call attention to his lack Of figure.
while q silk hat, with its breadth and
shiny surface, is the very best sort Of
camouhage for. his short stature, for II
has the effect of holding the eye and draw
ing the attention away from the lines Of
the rest Of the figure. I can explain this
BY using the butterfly as an example. On
a butterfy's wing there are some start
iingly conspicuous spots; deep black ones,
perhaps, surrounded with circles. The eye
simply cannot miss these spots. and that
is precisely why they are there. Invol-
unfairly your vision seizes on them. and
you do not see the outline Of the butter
fy's wing. natures protection against its
natural enemies. A high hat win have the
same effect in a lesser degree
The same. OF course. is true for the

others Some Of US take great pains with
il and would do it better if We could It
comes Of a desire to look well in most
cases. The fat man would give anything
t. look ike slender sylph. and the very
thin would do the same to seem less thin.
The truth is. much can be done in both
directions. OF course, there is a limit to
what we can do. but by the proper ar

Of the faults given US by nature may be
corrected.
