‘ American Designs in Silks.
in keeping with the motto,
America First," the United States
'National museum in Washington is
exhibiting some novel designs in silk
dress goods,‘aspired by early Amer-
‘ican history and manufactured by an
‘American firm for American women.
Months ago, when the Mexican dif-
ficulty began and long before the
present European situation promised
to make Americans originate their
own designs for fabrics and costumes.
artists were set to work to adapt for
present day use. the designs and sym.
.bols left by the Aztecs and other early
lndian peoples. Much material for
designs pertaining to this early period
of American history was available:
buildings. temples. monuments. pot-
tery. basketry and blankets are cov-
ered with plcturewritinss which form
particularly charming and artistic de-
signs. Not only the designs proper
were adaptable, but the colors as
well, a fact which has materially as-
sisted in the creation of these new
American fashion designs.
The textile division of the National
lmuseum has just installed a series of
pure dye taffeta silks. contributed by
the manufacturers. which show the.
reproductions of these ancient Mes.
ican designsmprinted on soft clinging
fabric. ' '
The designs comprisr. The Arlee“
moon in rainbow tones on blue and
taupe; the Aztec armadillo and arrow‘
pattern in‘colors on peacock-blue;
Kortez. an Aztec hieroglyph, on dark'
green and satin-striped white taffeta;
the Aztec coat-of—arms on navy blue.
and an allover design of Mexican.
feathers in shddes of blue. green.and,
brown. Other designs are reminders
of the -Pueblo lndians, one consisting
of a rattlesnake symbol printed on
lndian red. -while another resembles
a Navajorug in which zigzag stripes
and a diamond arrangement of figures
appear. ‘
The incorporation of the symbolism
to be seen on these printed“siiks re-
calls s people old in art and design.
even before the coming of the white
man to America. it is interesting to

which these ancient designs have

study their historical meaning.
