THE TRIUMVIRATE )esign (exulting): I am everywhere! I live in everything! the great spaces. I rule the Universe! Color (unperturbed) : Yes, but I rule you. Design: Away, away! Color: I would, but cannot. Design: Then I will go. Color: No use, | would only follow. Design: You shadow me, you dominate me, you try to destroy me, but I will The tiny corner, escape. Color: You cannot escape. Without me, you cannot be. When I go, your existence is done. | Design: Хо, it cannot ђе so! Color: Itisso! It is the truth! (Enter Beauty— distracted, wan). Beauty: Why will you renew this futile dispute? The great laws of the Universe will prevail. Color and Design: But we are parts of the Universe! Beauty: As such, you must obey its laws. O stupid ones! Be calm and hear me! Without Color, Design cannot be. How to show your beauties, your lovely forms, if light gleams not forth? When it fades, you, too, grow dim; when color is gone you, too, have vanishéd. Live in peace and harmony, otherwise you kill me. As you love me, control your selfish whims. Then we three will rule supreme. Esther L. Martin. MILLINERY Тће hat of today, although it appears to be simple, is really an extremely subtle combination of color, line and form. То build an attractive hat is an achievement. There are many necessary details to be mastered, but this foundation must be rounded out and enriched with a knowledge of the principles of color and design. The success of the millinery expert is measured by her skill in combining manual dexterity with artistic inspiration. M. H. Gervenak. Throughout the world there is a hunger for art, a desire within every human being to bring art into closer relationship with life, thus making more complete our appreciation of all that is beautiful. The desire for art in its relationship to the home is creating a great demand for arts and crafts classes. There the student works out his art interests in objects which have beauty and utility.

TEXTILES Техше Design in preparation for commercial work FAWCETT BATIKS When Batiks hang upon the wall When all about the smoke doth blow, And Dick, the sheik, doth shine his nail, And coughing drowns Pop Davey's saw, And Hilda lingers in the hall, And tears that flowing downward go, And wax comes hardened white in pail; And Marian's nose looks red and raw; When brush is dipt and silk is spread, When dye be mixed and in the bowl- Then sprightly boils the hot bees-wax Then blighting rings the fire-drill bell, DeWitt! Ding it! From whom! A warning note! Dang it! A tragic note! While Mrs. Brown doth stir the pot. For Tailor then doth spill the pot! E. L. Martin (After Bill Shakespeare's Winter )
