This early Worth creation illustrates his patronage by wealthy Americans, who had to travel to Paris to purchase their custom made dresses. Sarah Noyes Tibbets wore this dress when she married John Wool Griswold on January 15, 1878. Petticoat ca. 1878 Cotton #67.446c This petticoat was probably coordinated to go with the elaborate wedding gown by Charles Frederick Worth, made for Sarah Noyes Tibbett. The fineness of the cotton petticoat matches that of the gown.

    Art Around the Belly: Tracing the Cultural Significance and Artistic Value of Belt Hooks in Ancient China by Kara Kaifang Ma A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Kara Kaifang Ma 2014 ! Art Around the Belly: Tracing the Cultural Significance and Artistic Value of Belt Hooks in Ancient China Kara Kaifang Ma Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2014 Abstract The belt hook was used to fasten garments in ancient China long before the existence of belt buckles or plaques. Its use first appeared more than five thousand years ago and can be prevalently observed in paintings, on statuettes, and even on the famous Terracotta Army. Although it was such a common personal ornament, little has been written on this subject. My thesis will explore, through excavation data, coupled by my research on the extensive collection of belt hooks at the Royal Ontario Museum, how the examination of these ancient Chinese ornaments can not only reveal the status and wealth of its wearer, but also the cultural complexities and social advancements of that time. ! ! ! !ii Acknowledgments I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Chen Shen, my supervisor and mentor, who’s expertise and passion for his field has led me to pursue a career in East Asian Studies. Thank you for always pushing me to do better, the completion of my Master’s would not have been possible without your continuing support, guidance, and encouragement.

Strobel cites in his work, wherein media “Push” forward with reliance on government sources and allies in conflicts, but “Pull” back after setbacks.

I INTRODUCTION. The transTTiisaion of poTver is one of the oldest problems which has confronted men interested in machinery. The ancients used bark peeled from trees in some instances to serve as belts for driving rotating parts of machines. Without doubt the fastening together of these crude devices gave them no little trouble. As the mechanical world developed the method of transmitting power grew in the same proportion, until, at the present time, we have various materials ~ the one most in favor being leather - used in the construction of belts. Numerous connections have been invented to supply the demand which this advancement in power transmission has awakened.
