If you lock with bewilderment upon tne far eass as presenting too remote and incomprehens‘ble a problem ever to solve, we suggest that yvou look at the record cf ornament and decoration. For that‘s where the east and the west have met and underdstood each other and merged courses and been enriched together. You will be hopeful that man may yet find cther common denominâ€" a. ors of understanding. Look first at our homes and see how many things in them were influenced directly by the, Orientâ€"with particular accent on fabrics and China. The entire develcpment of porcelain factories of {he western world may be traced to the éfforts cf our craftsmen to imitate the fine translucent ware brought over from China, and to this day the influâ€" ence of Chinese design is strong in all our china and po.tery........ even the name. PAGE BIX + Chinaâ€" Mania The enthusiasm of Europe for china from the far east reached such epidâ€" emic proport‘ons in the 17th and 18th centuries that it became known â€" as chinaâ€"mania. It was stimulated by the interest of royalty, the vogue for chocolate, tea and coffee drinking, and the fact that more and more ships were plying back and forh in the china trade. ‘China has been known in Eurâ€" cbe long before this, but it had not been plentiful enough to be collected widely, .. ... it had belonged among royal treasure. <â€"It is hard for us today to underâ€" s @nd this extravagant craze for china that , swept Europe and even reached ‘shores, but remember that such ware was rare at best and its exquisite tmlslucence its intricate decora:ion and its lovely colorings looked fabuâ€" lously lovely to eyes accustomed only to: pottery and to pewter vessel.s for ordinary use. But be warned that chinaâ€"mania is contageous to this day, and you may catch it if you go in‘:o the subject to closely. ‘The collecting of china is a fascinating hobby that has had a cerâ€" t4in revival lately, if indeed it can be said ever to have really died down. fashion This buffet in the home of Mr. asnd Mrs. Arthur Iselin shows an interâ€" esting display of rare antique china, highly treasured for its historical associations. The portrait above the buffet is of the second William Jay painied by Sargent in his early days. Their home was built by Mrs. Iseâ€" lin‘s great great grandfather, John Jay, first Justice of the Supreme Court, and many relics in the house were used by him.
