Hundreds of thousands of tiny feathers from forest birds, trapped with bird lime and nets, went into the making of a cloak, and they were painstakingly tied to a mesh base to form broad, brilliant patterns. Not until the 1950s, with Hen ri Matisse's chasubles for the Chapel of the Rosary at Vence, would a ceremonial garment approach the purity and bold ness of design of the 19th century chiefs cloak named for Kekaulike-nui.

...could preach a better sermon than those that I had been brought up with. Professor James Hardy Ropes, a father of a classmate of ours, was my faculty adviser. I didn't see him much, and I think he gave up on me. I went voluntarily to Appleton Chapel a few times and listened to President Lowell read the scriptures.
