By GARRETT P. SERVISS, As the Indian names scattered by thousands throughout the United States give a tone to American geographical nomenclature, so Indian art, as exhibited in color combina- tions, ornamental designs, weaving beadwork and pottery, has a similar influence on our art products, One may many delightful spend land instructive hours in the Ameri- ‘can Museum of Natural History studying the collections represent- ing the red man’s achievements in the expression of his ideas of beauty and proportion. The utilization of these as suggestive aids in the de- velopment of a more distinctvely American style has only just he- gun, but it can evidently be carried ar, The character of the Indian shines forth in his art. It is grave, re- strained, simple, and yet bold. It accords with nature, but reproduces her underlying, motives rather than her superficial appearances. It is not imitative of details, but it catches the broad spirit of its model. Its conventional forms show both im- agination and & sense of harmony. As Miss Esther A, Coste points out, the Indian artists showed themselves very versatile in their use of so limited a material as that at their disposal, Rr]ixiou,f symbolism was the basis of most of their designs, When we AN IR E TR RSP EYSTITE The design on the pitcher of black spikes upon a bright yellow ground was obtained from a Pawnee skin coat, decorated with quill bands on the shoulders and down the front.

They have to, whether they like it or not. The Scotch say: “Each of us maun dree his ain weird” And there lies the whole matter in a nutshell. Qur sorrows, our joys—all of our experiences, in fact—befall us as in- dividuals and no one can share them with us. A little girl T know used to say whenever she was told, “Children don't do that,” and “Little girls al- ways do this” “Yes, but I'm a per- son.” A wonderful bit of philosophy the child had if she had followed it far enough. Each of us ought to remember that he or she is an individual—"a person.” But besides being an i . d Recipes Pln;lpplo Marmalade, After paring the fruit and remov- ing the eyes, grate and preserve the juice.

Miss Coste says that some of the tribes had a fretwork as beautiful as the classic Greek form. There are hundreds of designs that can be imitated with splendid effect in border work, crpcheting, embroid- ering, etc, The beauty of the Navajo| blankets is known everywhere, and it is a great credit to a tribe unfamiliar with white civilization to have pro- duced a form of art werk that white men have set themselves to imitate. Such imitation is a kind of apology to the original artists for gaving called them barbarians or savages. Many of the Indian weaving pat- terns are very beautiful as well as original. The red artists have shown the depth of their genius in adapting the mechanism put into their hands by the whites to their artistic ideas instead of adapting the ideas to the| machines, Indian bead-work is fa- mous all over the world. Pueblo pottery is another form of native In- dian art that comes to us like a seed full of germinal power. Both the shapes and colors employed are val- uable models. Among the uses that have already been made of these suggestions from the red man's mind are the decoration of tableware, parlor tables, stands, cups and saucers, bowls, pitchers, candlesticks, work tables, trays, mugs, match boxes, pepper pots, bed- room furniture and many other things. We are doing a little belated justice to the original possessors of our continent when, with proper ac- knowledgment of its source, we turn the current of their artistic tradition into the broader channel which our life affords. It is an inheritance from them which we are just beginning to appre- ciate. It will give the tinge to our art, as the Susquehanna river takes a little richer color from the darker waters of the Lackawanna. ———m dividual there must be the conscious- ness of all the other individuals who, for social and great natural reasons, have to be banded together into groups. One has simply to be con- scious of the two things and not to subordinate one to the other. There is no better illustration of this than the foolish way we all “hud- dle” in the cars. People come rushing along and crush and scramble and endure the utmost discomfort just be- cause it doesn’t occur to them to sep- arate themselves from the crowd. Watch for yourself some day.

One doesn't gain success by trying to find a foothold on the ladder of success at the exact point where a group is already struggling. The ladder of success is wide. There is room for numberless people there- on, but they have to find their own places. Studying yourself as an individual, finding your own points of difference and secking progress along individual lines separated from great mass movements, is the real way to assure yourself of success in forging ahead.

D. There are disadvantages in being young as well as in being old. One of the most perplexing and pitiable things about the after-treatment of infantile paralysis is just that it is “in- fantile,” that its little victims are young, very young. This means that they have completed only about a fourth of their growth and a tenth of their muscular education, and paraly- sis at this stage means not only loss of power, but deformity and grave dis- turbance of balance. In fact, paradoxical as it may sound, the most serious cause of trouble in some cases is not that the palsied limb or paralyzed muscle will not grow, but that the opposite limb and the other groups of muscles will keep on grow- ing along with the rest of the body. For instance, one little leg is para- lyzed, or half paralyzed, so that it can only move about half as actively and vigorously as the other; the little one walks with a limp, and for several months, even if no improvement oc- curs, get about fairly well. Then sud- denly one day the parents notice that the limp seems to be getting worse, although the paralyzed limb is no wgaker, and when the tape measure and t be|is placed alongside it is discovered | made of it is shown in the photo-|to be half or three-quarters of an inch | shorter than the sound limb. This, of course, is not because th= weakened limb has shrunk or grown shorter, but simply that it hasn't grown at the same rate as the healthy limb. And, unfortunately, the older and taller the child grows, the more marked becomes the relative shorten- ing of the crippled leg. A pitiful il- lustration of the bitter scriptural para- dox, “Unto him that hath shall be given, but from him that hat not, shall be taken away even that which he hath.” So that ultimately the poor little victim has often to add to the legitimate labor of the half-paralyzed muscles the weight of a box-soled, “club-foot” shoe, or even steel stirrup, or other mechanical apparatus for lengthening it to match the other limb. Or if one group of muscles only in an arm or leg is affected, those that straighten it or extend it, for instance, then the undamaged muscles which Adwice to Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfax You Did the Right Thing.

So that the | problem of combatting the p;ralysls is not merely that of keeping the | paralyzed muscles alive and moving, !bu! also that of preventing the un- | paralyzed muscles or fellow limb rom pushing or pulling them over to one side or outgrowing them.
