Today Is the day of decoration , from the
kitchen to the drawing-room. Nothing es
capes the artistic touch of the fair cliato-
Mno. After tlio headlong crao for old
china , old paintings , autlquo furniture , In
( net , everything old except ugo , comoa the
search for genuine old tapestry ,
A slight sketch of the origin and growth of
these hangings may bo of interest to col
lectors whoso nets nro spread lu anticipation
of u priceless bit of arras.
1'nlnting in toxllo fabrics is an art that ex
isted ou the banks of tlio Nile many thousand
years ngo. To nomadic tribes it formed the
chief ornamentation of tholr tents ; tlio
dwellers In towns also found their homes
only Inhabitable , thanks to the draperies
which not only divided the apartments but
formed n protection against htmt and cold.
In Egypt these stuffs wore woven under
the BUperlatondonco of prlc-sts , who had a
monopoly of the cloths used for sacred pur
poses , especially these for burial robes ; seine
of these stuffs were striped , ethers flowered
nnd Interwoven with threads of gold and sil
ver , that In beauty of color outrivaled those
of u later period.
In biblical lore wo find the hangings of the
tcniplo doors were of blue , purple , scarlotnnd
fine twined llnon of needlework. Weaving
was ouo of the chief employments of tlio
Greek and Komnn matrons and In the Creole
poets mny ho found frequent allusions to the
loom and dlstult. The tyrant Nero expended
the sum of , : i > . ! , ! ! 31 In llnbylontan tapestry
nnd furniture for his dining room mono. At
this era Homo ruled tlio world nnd the riches
nnd | spoils of conquered Winrdoms were
brought homo by the victorious soldiers.
About the ninth century the art of tupcstry
wourlnff was Introduced into France , though
not generally Into Kuropo till about the tlmo
of the Crusades.
Perhaps the most famous uleco In oxlst-
nuco comes from a Flemish city and Is culled
iftcr tuo town "Tho JJayeaux Tapestry. " It
1 attributed by popular tradition to bo the
work of Queen MutllJn , wlfo of Wllllntn the
Conqueror , nnd her court ladles , to commcm-
orate the victories of her liusbnnd nnd ropro-
scnts llo Invasion utnlconquest of England
ny thi Mormntu nnd was presented by
Mntll-Ja to llaycaux cutlicdral as n thank
offering for the Hid rendered to her husband
by 1U bishop , Oilo. The pictorial needlework
h till feet in lonntli and twenty inchei In
width nnd hns but tbo seven primary colors
used In Its composition , the minute
ness with which Iho nftiilre of
dally life , nrinor , weapons , food , mnnnors
mid costumes , arc depleted Incline ono to tbo
belief that the work must bo contemorary
with the event ! protraycd. The linen Is
divided Into seventy-two parts or scenes ,
each with n Latin Inscription designating Its
subject. Ono scene li thosieffoof Dlnannnd
the war between the duke of Norinnndy nnd
Contin. nnd In Its entirety it Is a moit com-
nloto history of the conquest told from the
Norman side. The whole com position repre
sents more than DUO persons. IbO hones and
fi.'O other nnimuls , besides ships ,
boats , buildings , trees , weapons ,
tools nnd other objects , The figures
nro colored Hat , that Is without any
attempt at shading nnd no effort is made to
Imitate the hues of nature. The colors of the
clothing nro not Improbable , butthoio of the
anlinnh belong to an unknown spcdes. In
the nhsenco of shading nnd nil perspective ,
an attempt Is mndu to supply the clellciency
by varying the color on different parts of the
anlmnls , for Instance a horse will have tlio
fore legs nearest the spectator of green ana
to give the oltcct of dlstnnco the lilnd legs
will hoof red , then too it will liavo lluo ears
nnd a yellow mane.
As ono stands before the work your are led
to wonder through what strati go adventures
these big Flemish men nnd women have
passed before iho centuries dimmed their
bright green and rod costumes , standing out
from the nmbcr-tlnted bnclcirroutul. In 1SOH
Nnpolcon ordered this tapestry brought to
I'uris , where It was shown In tlio national
museum , and later In the largo cities of
Franco , then returned to li.iyunux , where at
present it may ho seen in iho public llbrarv.
In the reign of Charles V. , surnamed the
Wise , the tapestries ol Arras were so famous
that the nniuo generally given to this species
of bunging ( French Arras ) ( Italian nrazzo )
is said to have been derived from the name
of the town.
Tlio world renowned Gobelin factories are
the present source of nil rich tapestries and
wcro originally located at Hhcinit In the
llftocnth century , Jchnti , the founder of
the factories , made the happy discovery of
a peculiar kind of scarlet dye which added
great beauty to the effect of his tapestry.
In carrying out his ideas ho expended
such enormous sums in the estab
lishment that It was called "La
folilo Gobelin. " fn IGG'3 Lo Grand
Monarch purchased the works nnd trans
formed it into a general upholstering manu
factory under the supervision of tlio court
painter , Lcbrun , Owing to llnancinl embar
rassment during the regime of Napoleon I.
the work was suspended , though revived
later under Louis Philippe , and in 1871 the
factories were burned by the communists.
Cosmo I de Medici erected an establish
ment for weaving tapestry In Italy in IMS
and it was always supported by that munill-
ccot family. The lust work from the Flor-
cnco factories represents the "Fall of
1'haoton" and the "Rape of Proierpino. "
With the death of tholastscion of the illus
trious housn of the Medici It ivas decided to
close the works.
A new gallery of tapestry was opened in
Florence in 1SS1 , the llrst and only im'.ituliou
of the kind in Italy. It contains specimens
of the different developments of tapestry nnd
represent sin a special manner its history in
Tuscany. These riches were scattered about
Italy in the palaces of Florence , Pisa , Siena
and in the grand ducal villis until collected
in ISO" ) by lUron Hlcasoli , who placed them ,
temporarily , in the nailery that unites the
1'ittl and IJftlzi palarcs , where they remained
until removed to the new gallery , where
they formed an almost complete his
tory of Tuscan tapestry and contains sorno
exquisite specimens of Gobelin , Flemish an d
Gorman work. The earliest specimens are
of the fourtconthvantury , and in the days
when these tapestries wore worked each dif
ferent material had its peculiar signification
and the colors wore symbolical wliito repre
sented purity of morals ; green , contempla
tion ; black , mortification ot the flesh.
Among the old Flemish works Is a tapestry
of the sixteenth century , rjprosotiling
Henry II. and Catherine do Medici , with the
ladles of their court , viewing from a raised
dlas the games given in their honor. This is
ono of a series of the most beautiful and in
teresting in the gallery.
In the Chateau Puu there still exists some
flue specimens from tdo Gobelin looms repre
senting six scenes from the lifo of Henry IV ,
one the parting between the young court
beauty , Gabricllo d'Estrcos ' nnd her royal
lover ,
AtSizergu castle , England , In the "Queen's
room , " there nre shown some wonderfully
bcajjilful embroideries worked by Catherine
Parr during her widowhood before ) she was
called to assume the golden fetters of a queen
of England ,
A few exquisite examples of old Gobelin
work nro in America in private collections
otablytwonot very largo pieces valued at
50,000 , owned by a Canadian gentleman ,
Also a very few pieces of arras oiviicd by-
New York parties which hnvo been placed on
exhibition once or twice , and Mrs. Kato
Chnse-Spraguohas In her beautiful homo in
Washington a most exquisite gem of tapestrv
from the Gobelin looms which formerly
adorned the walls of ono of King Louis
Phillppes'palaces ' , representing a least given
Ulysses by a queen of some barbaric
island.
Very recently the French Benevolent soci
ety in Now York received a magnificent gift
of Gobelin tapestry from the French govern
ment. The design is 17 fcot In height by
23 feet in width , the subject being n famous
picture by ( Jros of "Los 1'cstiteros do Jaffa , "

Bockford snys that be can 111 afford to lese
tils wlfe.or nt least that ho hates to part with

Macbeth's " pearl top " and
"pearl glass" are tough
against heat ; they do not

They are alp clear , trans

They cost a little more than
