in Sofia, was placed on exhibition in the Sears,
RoebCck & Co. galleries. Connecticut avenue,
last week under the distinguished patronage Of
Simeon Radef, minister Of Bulgaria to the
United States. Mr. Baboff got this unusual
collection together from all parts Of Bulgaria.

square, some less, some more, have been put
together In mosaics very skillfully and in q
most interesting manner. The desire for orna-
ment and for an increase of beauty Is inherent
In man, and in all nations it has been custom
aZy from earliest time, for costumes to be
embroidered and decorated with needlework
The superiority of Bulgarian embroidery Is due,
it is said to the fact that it is both individual
and composite individual in general form and
line and color, but composite as the basic de-
signs are often modified or rendered more intrt-
cate by foreign influences. Its patterns have
been borrowed from other neighboring nations,
but have been adapted skillfully for Bulgarian
Use. It is interesting to trace in these en-
broideries the influences which have come ap-
parently from afar-from Egypt and India,
from Persia and Byzantium, but which all,
without exception reflect Bulgarian TASTE Much
red and many other bright colors are used in
these embroideries but the stitchery throughout
is fine, fine, IN fact, that it can be examined
in some instances advantageously with a
magnifying glass.
The Bulgarians themselves are proud Of their
achievement and the queen and princess make
a point Of wearing the national Macedonian
costumes.
