this case the eagle was represented
with outstretched wings. the head
raised and turned to one side, the ser
pent in beak. 1t remained in this posi-

In 1917 the design was changed 10
the present form by order of the
President. This representation the
eagle bending over it's prey. is said TO
be more in keeping with the original

When You Buy Objects dart,

That phrase "obiets dart" means
TO most of us, beautiful pieces of ex.

just the French way of saying art oh.
jects." In olden times our grand
mother used to haunt curio shops for
bargains, but today there is such an
army of hunters that factories are
kept busy supplying all.sorts Of stores
with "objets a'art."
No matter what the obiet dart
you're buying. don't think for a min.
ute that expense is always measure
of merit. You can find many an at
tractive piece at a reasonable figure.
You can't expect to pick up rare and
valuable things for little money.
Where will you find objets dart?
In countless decorators establish
ments, antique and second hand shops,
Oriental shops, and all over China
town-if you happen to have one near
at hand. Once in a blue moon. a real
find will appear in pawnbroker's
window.
Objets dart should be useful as
we'll as pretty. Jardinieres. for ex-
ample, are excellent decorations. and
useful for hiding f1owerpots. Jardi-
nieres are made in metal and clay, and
some of the brass jardineres are

It is midnight blue or raven wing

The important thing is that the
dark blue that we call navy blue is
coming back into fashion. Just at
