  furnish 
  the 
  best 
  description. 
  It 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  Miss 
  Caroline 
  G. 
  

   Parker 
  {Gd-hd-no), 
  a 
  Seneca 
  Indiaii 
  girl, 
  now 
  being 
  educated 
  in 
  

   the 
  State 
  Normal 
  School, 
  to 
  whose 
  finished 
  taste, 
  and 
  patient 
  in- 
  

   dustry 
  the 
  State 
  is 
  indebted 
  for 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  many 
  beautiful 
  spe- 
  

   cimens 
  of 
  bead 
  work 
  embroidery 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  Indian 
  collection. 
  

  

  In 
  doing 
  this 
  work, 
  the 
  eye 
  and 
  the 
  taste 
  are 
  the 
  chief 
  relian- 
  

   ces, 
  as 
  they 
  use 
  no 
  patterns 
  except 
  as 
  they 
  may 
  have 
  seen 
  them 
  

   in 
  the 
  works 
  of 
  others. 
  In 
  combining 
  colors 
  certain 
  general 
  

   rules, 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  experience 
  and 
  observation, 
  are 
  followed, 
  but 
  

   beyond 
  them 
  each 
  one 
  pursued 
  her 
  own 
  fancy. 
  They 
  never 
  seek 
  

   for 
  strong 
  contrasts, 
  but 
  break 
  the 
  force 
  of 
  it 
  by 
  interposing 
  

   white, 
  that 
  the 
  colors 
  may 
  blend 
  harmoniously. 
  Thus 
  light 
  blue 
  

   and 
  pink 
  beads, 
  with 
  white 
  beads 
  between 
  them, 
  is 
  a. 
  favorable 
  

   combination; 
  dark 
  blue 
  and 
  yellow, 
  with 
  white 
  between, 
  is 
  an- 
  

   other; 
  red 
  and 
  light 
  blue, 
  with 
  white 
  between, 
  is 
  another; 
  and 
  

   light 
  purple 
  and 
  dark 
  purple, 
  with 
  white 
  between, 
  is 
  a 
  fourth. 
  

   Others 
  might 
  be 
  added 
  were 
  it 
  necessary. 
  If 
  this 
  beadwork 
  is 
  

   critically 
  examined 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  that 
  these 
  general 
  rules 
  are 
  

   strictly 
  observed 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  so 
  far 
  beadwork 
  embroidery 
  may 
  be 
  

   called 
  a 
  systematic 
  art. 
  The 
  art 
  of 
  flowering, 
  as 
  they 
  term 
  it, 
  is 
  

   the 
  most 
  difficult 
  part 
  of 
  beadwork, 
  as 
  it 
  requires 
  an 
  accurate 
  

   knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  flower, 
  and 
  the 
  structure 
  

   and 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  plant 
  at 
  the 
  stage 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  represent- 
  

   ed. 
  These 
  imitations 
  are 
  frequently 
  made 
  with 
  great 
  delicacy, 
  

   of 
  which 
  a 
  very 
  favorable 
  exhibition 
  may 
  be 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  plate, 
  

   in 
  the 
  flower 
  introduced 
  at 
  the 
  angle 
  of 
  the 
  skirt.

  This 
  beautiful 
  article 
  is 
  also 
  of 
  Seneca 
  manufacture. 
  Upon 
  

   the 
  lowest 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  side 
  (fig. 
  1 
  ) 
  there 
  is 
  an 
  ingenious 
  im- 
  

   itation 
  of 
  a 
  rose 
  bush, 
  with 
  its 
  flowers 
  at 
  different 
  stages 
  of 
  matu- 
  

   rity, 
  from 
  the 
  one 
  just 
  opening 
  its 
  bud, 
  to 
  the 
  full 
  blown 
  rose. 
  

   The 
  success 
  of 
  the 
  imitation, 
  considering 
  the 
  nature 
  of 
  the 
  ma- 
  

   terials, 
  and 
  the 
  artist, 
  is 
  quite 
  commendable. 
  It 
  is 
  easy 
  to 
  

   recognize 
  the 
  opening 
  rose 
  in 
  the 
  bud 
  at 
  the 
  left, 
  which, 
  with 
  its 
  

   envelope 
  and 
  stem, 
  is 
  very 
  accurately 
  delineated.
