produced to tickle the jaded aesthetic
palate of tho rich aud liiMirious, mid
only those who may trifle awny what
they will indulge themselves to any
considerable degnsi in curved ivory.
In all such article the cost of the raw

The carver of ivory use much the same

Nearly all the ivory brought to the
