Tapestries Worth $lOO,OOO Melted Into Pot Of Gold • The queen was dazzled by her reception,. Along the little Parisian Greets her subjects; had draped silver and.gold tapestries. With them they had covered the bridge which she crossed. The metal threads threw back little glints of sunlight that transformed Paris into a great sparkle of reflected sunbeams. “Just one of those tapestries would be worth about $lOO,OOO to day.” Miss Edith G. Zinn, hostess at McAllister Hall, warmed to her fiufoject. ‘During the French Re volution the liberals gathered all the silver and gold tapestries they could find that had to do with royal subjects and • melted them rn-a big bonfire. They did succeed hi--getting $30,000 worth of . gold hietal;!'. from them, ■‘'■but . that wouldn’t have paid for one of those tapestries today.”- ■ The hostess brought pictures of tapestries representing the pro gressive periods in tapestry weav ing. The flat, clumsy, • decorative figures of the Gothic period gradually transcended .into . the well-proportioned perspective of the golden age of tapestry. The myriads of tiny flowers in the earliest examples were replaced by figured borders.' These tapes tries, whose development closely paralleled that of' painting, have left a clearer record of the history of the dark ages than words.. Fbench Tapestries “I am particularly ■ interested in- French tapestry,” Miss Zinn ex plain ed. “The 1/ouises of Prance had- a great deal to do with making the. art . popular. They ordered most of their hang ings from the Gpibelin factory which was still in existence in 1935 " . Titian, Rubens, Michelangelo, and other famous painters made cartoons for tapestries. The weav ing factory was quite efficient under the Guild system. In charge of the shop was the chef d’etlier or chief craftsman. Some of the workers only mixed dyes, others only wove, and still others only did odd jcfbs such as unpacking, carrying dyes and threading machines. Orphans were often ap prenticed in these shops to help earn their living. Some of these orphans became famous weavers. As many as 75 men would work on one tapestry. So specialized were these weavers that one would weave trees, another ani mals, and another human figures. The shop took great pride in the style- of its work. If one • worker tried to put in some of his own ideas he might he punished, by having his hand cut off, or even fliy- death. The work was slow. One man averaged a square yard per month.

CLOTHES DRIVE SUCCESSFUL Gene Gilmore and her commit tee in charge of the clothing drive, which ended last week, report that the barrels at Student Union and the Corner Room were well-fill ed, and that many .boxes of do nated garments were received. The committee wishes to express appreciation to students, faculty members, and dormitory hostesses whose efforts made the campaign go over the top. By MURIEL MULLIN ed them,” the hostess said, “It was much like a WPA project. He even saw that they had enough orders." Lords hung, all their walls in tapestry. When they went to war they carried their valuables to the monastery .for.,, safe-keeping. If the! lord; died ih battle; the .woven cloths were left in the monastery and therefore many were pre served. Tapestries were first made in monasteries. Then it became the fashion for ladies.^Finally, even kings did small pieces. Tapestries, therefore, reduced in size from wall-sized hanging to small chair covers. Both France and America have recently tried to revive this ne glected art. Before World War II there was a movement to weave the works of Picasso and other modem painters.. In the United States there are a few schools which still specialize in teaching this, art.,. Miss Zinn became interested in, tapestry when she saw what she calls “a really good one.” “A really good one” can Ibe distin guished from another by a small break in the cloth between one color and another, and also Iby the initial or symbol on the tapestry.
