Persian Art Described by Dr. Khan in Gallery Talk at Herron Museum Lecturer Points Out That Ancient Books Form Basis for Beautiful Work in Rugs, Pottery and Other Objects. ltY BEATRICE BURGAS* Times Woman's Put Editor WE will view Persian art with deeper understanding now that we have heard Dr. Ali-Kuli Khan, Washington scholar and lecturer, describe its significance. He spoke yesterday at one of the gallery talk hour of the John Herron Art Museum. Dr. Khan, who has held numerous important governmental appointments, described his native art vividly. Just as he told us, most of us agreed that the fame of Persian rugs had made us believe that their design was the most important of Persian arts. In spite of this fame, Dr.

Khan reminded us that these beautiful rugs are only one of the manv by-products of the art. "The greatest art is that of book making and in it is the inspiration of design and color, which is expressed in the lovely Persian ocades, rugs, pottery, etc,” he emphasized. He told us that the ancient books are the treasure > ise of Persian art and explained the care with which u.. paper was made by hand of silken materials; how the ink was made of substances to endure for many years; how the illumination or illustrations depicted the subject matter and served as a frame for the masterpiece of the books, the calligraphy, and lastly how the leather covers were tooled b> hand. It was Dr. Khan’s description of the importance of design and color in Persian art which stirred our appreciation. We had noticed that most of the design is

floral, but didn’t know that these floral designs were the Persian artist"’ tangible expression of their conceptions of the wonders of the invisible God. responsible for all the holy things of life. The cypress tree, so prevalent in the symbolism of the art, represents the tree of life. With color the artists expressed the salient attributes of excellence goodness and God. These salient attributes are represented by the colors of the wonders of the universe: Loftiness is represented by the turquoise blue of the sky; depth by the dark blue of the sea; glory by the yellow, gold and orange as seen in the luminnosity of the sun; love by crimson color of the heat of the elements; and creative energy by green color of growing vegetation.

We glanced to one of the hangings on the wall, detected the coloring and recalled reverently how the artist designer must have conceived the arrangement. Interprets Symbols Dr. Khan directed our attention to a print. He pointed out the symbols and then described their significance. The lion overcoming a weaker animal represented the “might makes right” rule of the primitive state of man; the gloriously colored peacock represented the material civilization, but the ugly feet clinging to earth stood for its imperfection; the cypress tree introduced spiritual value and the birds flying above it represented human conscience soaring upward to reach the apex of life, and the serpents in their mouths revealed the overpowering of evil. The truth of Dr. Khan’s earlier observation came to us: “A mystic once said that all that is visible is only a shadow of what is invisible.” The mystic’s teachings surely influenced the Persian artists’ depth of feeling, which history reveals enabled the Persians with their art and culture to refine and conquer artistically the nations which conquered them, physically. Dr. Khan's wife, formerly Miss Florence Breed, an American woman, and their daughter, Hamiedeh, were in the audience with art patrons of the city. Mrs. William Allen Moore. Miss Ruth Hodges. Miss Ernestine Bradford, Dr. and Mrs. William Leeds Richardson and Mrs. George Philip Meier were a few of those who came to learn more about Persian art. Other Lectures Set Mrs. Khan and Hamiedeh have been traveling this winter with Dr. Khan, who will give several lectures this week at his exhibit at tne L. S. Ayres <fc Cos. store. It was opportune to have Dr. Kahn talk to us for the museum has been concentrating on collection of Persian art objects; in fact art material from all Oriental countries. Sculpture court w as arranged with Persian hangings and costumes, and as we listened to Dr. Khan's story, our observations of these hangings telegraphed to our minds approval of the Dr. Khan's words of praise of Persian art.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

The leading: letter today should eive use to an interesting discussion. Read it carefully and then put your opinions in a letter to the column. The most interesting ones will be published. Dear Jane Jordan—ln a recent letter to you I said that women fail to realize that they must take the bitter with the sweet in their battle for equality. Take a minor issue but a good ex-

ample. A woman leaves her place of business, the street car is crowded. Should a man who has worked as hard, if not harder, give his seat to her? Has he not the right to take advantage of the equality which has cost millions of men their self-respect, the loss of their

homes and God only knows what? Nearly 17 years ago our fathers, husbands and brothers were sent to Europe to fight and to die horrible deaths for our country and our womanhood. Thdusands of them came back to find their jobs gone and none to be had. The glory which had been theirs was trampled into oblivion by the women for whom they had fought. The women were forced to take the soldiers’ jobs and then would not give them up. Their wages were lower because they would accept less. Consequently, production was speeded up as the profit was greater. Thus we have overproduction. Had the women who were so thoughtlessly set on proving their equality by holding men's jobs, stepped out and let the returning soldiers go back to work, we would not be in the deplorable condition we find ourselves today. As long as women are permitted to hold men’s jobs without an ironclad excuse, prosperity will never return. R. E. H. Answer—Ever since Eve offered Adam an apple we have been accustomed to hearing the male blame his plight on earth to the failings of the female. But your letter brings up a brand new complaint. This is the first time I ever heard the world-wide economic collapse blamed on women, and the first time I ever heard that the World War was fought for womanhood instead of capitalism. Such authorities as Stuart Chase point out that overproduction is due to the great advance of machinery. When an entire rayon factory can run with but one man in attendance, it does look as if machines had more to do with putting men out of work than women. This is the first time in the history of the world that people have had to adjust to a highenergy civilization. We have not passed this way before. Men invented the machines, not women. Now that their inventions have done them out of jobs, it seems a bit far-fetched for them to cry. “the woman took my job. I can not work.’’ The trouble with you is that you cling to the old patriarchal regime wherein the husband and father was the absolute head of the family, and the wife and mother was kept of mindless servility. The need of this tribal setup has disappeared with greater safety in living conditions. The rise and revolt of women has grown out of specific economic changes. The inventions of men, which you so blithely ignore, have liberated her from hard domestic service. Her energies seek new outlets more satisfactory than that of being the plaything and pet of man whose attention she no longer cares to capture by neurotic tricks and devices. Whether you like it or not the new independent woman is here, ready to work shoulder to shoulder with men. equipped for companionship with adult masculine minds. Whether she sits or stands in a street car is a matter of small

moment in comparison with the privilege of using her powers for personal achievement. If she didn't make you feel scared and inferior, you wouldn’t wish to push her back into a subordinate position. a u tt Dear Jane Jordan—Any Catholic who knows her religion knows that the Catholic religion is not against birth control in the proper use of the term control. What the church objects to is extermination and murder. The Catholic Diety is not one which demands people to beget children they can not support. Any doctor can explain how to attain perfect birth control without giving up’ tba marriage act and without extermination. Information is contained in “The Fcerile Period in Family Life,” by Couche-Walsh, and “The Rhythm,” by Leo Latz. These are not religious, but scientific books. JUST ANOTHER READER, •/mswer —I am glad to have the names of these two books for the benefit of the Catholic woman who wrote for information. Thank you.

Film Celebrities Appear at Race Opening Garbed in Latest Style Offerings Mary Brian Chooses Ensemble of Green Wool With Knee-Length Coat; Ruby Keeler Wears Unusual Fur Creation. BY HELEN LINDSAY HOLLYWOOD at play presents a gay and colorful appearance. Movie actors and actresses who in their screen work learn what to wear on every occasion, proved that they had learned their lesson well at the opening of the Santa Anita race track on Christmas Day. Thrilled at the reopening of racing, brought back to southern California after 25 years’ absence, personages familiar to movie audiences all over the country promenaded from the verandas of the Los Angeles Turf Club to the nearby grandstand in outfits as fashionable as those in which they appear on the screen.

More than 50,000 persons witnessed the opening races, and their presence was taken as an indication that the track will be the scene of many fashionable gatherings at every meet. Tailored suits and ensembles were much in evidence in the gay holiday crowd. Grays, which have been marked as among the best colors this season, were seen in many instances, usu&lly brightened with some gay color. Green or yellow often were seen in combination with the gray, in unusual ensembles. Dick Powell appeared at the opening day races with Mary Brian. Miss Brian wore an ensemble with a kneelength jacket of green wool, which showed a faint stripe of darker green. The coat was swagger, hanging very full in back, with a collar which stood up across the back, turning back into a facing down the entire front

of the coat. The facing was of chartreuse wool, matching the vestee and ascot scarf. With this coat, Miss Brian wore a dark green skirt with kick pleat in back and front. Her hat was of the same material as the skirt, and turned up, with a banding of chartreuse, and a silver buck!; trimming. Her shoes and accessories were of green suede. Among the unusual and elaborate fur coats seen at the race track was one of black Persian lamb worn by Ruby Keeler, who appeared with her husband, A1 Jolson. Miss Keeler's coat was swagger, with a matching high toque. She wore a light gray wool suit, with a shoi t fitted jacket, under the coat. The belt of the suit was of wide black leather, and the buttons were novel ones, matching the belt, also of black leather. While she had chosen black for her other accessories, her shoes were gray suede. bub b b S Cheeked Suit Worn by Irene Dunne IRENE DUNN chose a suit of brown, white and gray broken check for her holiday costume. The coat was fitted to the waist, and full to the knees. The skirt was of black, soft wool, and matching this she wore an ascot scarf of the same fabric. Her hat and gloves were gray antelope, and her shoes and bag were black alligator. A three-piece suit of soft gray, loosely woven wool was worn by Claire Dodd. The coat was two-thirds length, bordered in lynx, with a huge lynx collar, and like the coat worn by Mary Brian, was cut to hang full in the back. The dress showed a fitted jacket blouse, fastening to a stitched, standing collar, and showing a stitched large bow at the neck. Accessories for this costume were black. Cinnamon brown was seen in the fitted cutaway jacket and straight tight skirt of the suit worn by Ann Dvorak. A loose coat, two-thirds length, in diagonally striped brown and beige, was worn over the suit. Many of the ensembles showed capes of knee length over matching skirts, and kidskin capes in grays, beiges and browns were among the fur wraps. Many white kidskins and caraculs were seen, worn over bright wool dresses or rough-surfaced' crepes. B B k 808 All Occasions Call for Slit Skirts SLIT skirts on all types of dresses, as noted in the reports of the costumes presented by the leading designers, once again make ankles as important as they were many years ago. Wasson’s is showing Gotham Gold Stripe hose in shaded colors, to be worn with afternoon and evening costumes, which are said to have a slenderizing effect on ankles. The hose, tinted after they are knitted, are sheer, and show a light tint down the front, blended into slightly darker color at the back. The hose are in blended shades of burgundy, blue, gun metal and brown.
