The Kaleidoscope.

ONE is apt to regard the kaleidoscope
as nothing more than an interest
Ing toy. 1t is a fact. nevertheless, that
practical men frequently find Il a val-
liable aid ana great saver of time in
their work.
It not only gives an outline Of
design, but suggests coloring, and
with q lens attached to 1t q carpet
designer. for instance, can observe the
whole effect when arranging and group
ing his patterns. The Kaleidoscope has
been extensively used in this relation
not only by carpet designers, but by de-
signers In many other branches. Even
architects have not disdained to obtain
from the kaleidoscope hints for orna-
mentation.
A kaleidoscope saves a great deal OF
preliminary and purely mechanical
labor. An architect can turn
Kaleidoscope until he finds q design
that suits his purpose and then copy
1t photographically or by the eye, II he
wishes TO vary the design q bit,
The chief use, however. in a prac-
teal way, of the kaleidoscope is in the
manufacture of round stained glass
windows.

DERHAPS the most striking peculiar
ity OF all the paintings which be-
long to Titian's early period is the
shape and position of the models hand
OF the ''Magdalene" in the Dresden
Gallery Morelii says: Her left hand
alone would prove to all who know
Titan that she Is genuine creation
of the master"
This Titan hand has thick palm
and slender fingers. the second and
third of which are extended. With
out exception, this trick Of holding the
hand is noticed again and again in the
"A1agdalene," the Flora" the "Vani-
tas" and the Christ OF the Tribute
Money"
Not one hand, but both are placed
in this position in the Minerva Trl-

and also In the left hand, which was
supposed to have been in shadow, but
has now turned To dark red, the thin
overcoat OF paint having been pene-
trated by the red underpainting. AS
If these were not proofs enough of the
presence of q crimson undertone in this
picture. there are places where the
canvas has been too assiduously cleaned
and the upper paint completely scraped
away, revealing the actual crimson
ground beneath.
Other paintings revealing this tech
mic are the Madonna OF Cherries IN
Vienna, and in the Louvre the Laura
Diantin and the Alfonso D'Este."
1t is true that Correggio also used red
underpainting. but his scale of colors
and chiaroscuro-that is. his light and
shade effects~-are entirely different.
In addition to these crimson under
tones are the violet tones, which are
used in painting the flesh In shadow.
Morelli says of the "Vanitas" OF Titan,
which hangs In the gallery In Munich:
THE type Of this beautiful woman Is
similar to that In other pictures of the
master Giorgionesque period, for IN
stance, the Laura Diantf In the Louvre.
The violet tones of the flesh are still
dlscernible In the Munich picture and
are characteristic of Titan" In the
Minerva Triumphant" these same vio-
let tones appear behind the ear, where
the hair shadows over the flesh.
Again speaking Of the 'Vanitas,"
Morelli in volume two Of his work,

Neither Palma Vecchio nor Giorgione,
in the light of form analysis. has any
thing in common with Titan.
TITIAN is unsurpassed in his treat
ment of the elmer glow" OF the
flesh tintS Of his early works. To the
observer the blood seems to glow be-
meath the skin--in the lobes of the ears
and the tips of the fingers. The flesh
Is not fiat or pasty or white and pink,
but Is warm with life. Obviously this
effect was reached by a trick of tech
nique, simple in itself but unthought Of
until Titan introduced 1t, and never SO
successfully achieved after him.
Grove and Cavalcaselle, the best
biographers OF Titan, are Of the opin-
ion that, in painting picture, he often
covered the canvas first with an under
tone of red earth. Using no pattern
or cartoon. but drawing the outline
freely on the canvas, he next worked
In q fiat poster effect in red, black and
white. BY superimposing various coats
of giaZes, one tint over another, he
gradually reduced high lights and
built up shadows, thus bringing the
picture out in full relief at the same
time that he secured harmony OF
color not obtainable In any other way.
This Is known as the glazed or trans
parent method, and Titan was the SUI
preme master of this style.

MILITANT HYMN IS FUNERAL MARCH
Field Marshal to Be Carried to "0nVard Christian Soldiers"

London, Feb. 2 RIThe hymn of the church militant. Onward Chris tian Soldiers" will be played when the body of Field Marshal Earl Haig leaves Westminster Abbey tomorrow.
 At the request of Lady Haig there will be no funeral music or dirges when the world and tho British em- pire pay their last tribute to tho war leader.
 Two Humble Servants
 In the procession of many titled and famous men who will accom- pany the body to the Abbey from St. Columbus church. where 1t lay in state today. will be two humble and faithful servants of the nield mar shal. They will have the place of honor immediately behind the gun carriage carrying the coffin.
 The faithful retainers are Ser geant Secrett, Haigs trusted servant for 50 years. and an old warhorse which carried Haig through the campaigns in France. The horse is now in the possession of King George who loaned it to grace the last pageant in its masters honor.
 Fired First Shot
 The gun carriage to be used In conveying the casket in the funeral procession Is the one belonging to the gun from which the first British shell in the great war was fired and is the one which was used at the burial of the British unknown sol. dier.
 Hundreds of wreaths surround the body in St. Columba's. The custom ary white flowers have largely given place to red poppies which have be- come the predominant color in the church giving it q brilliant hue. Among those who ordered wreaths of peoples were the king, the Prince of Wales. King Albert of Belgium and the representatives of many foreign governments.
 Topples Substituted
 The substitution of the peoples for the white flowers was in tribute to Haig's institution of the poppy fund for disabled soldiers. Through it important aid is given to the Brit ish Legion poppy factory which was established under Haig's sponsor ship. The disabled soldiers there are working overtime to supply the de- mand and thus the great comman- der who served hs crippled con- rades in his last years still serves
