Both in the case of the chieftain and in that of the divinity there are expensive edifices set apart for the behoof of the person served.

These edifices, as well as the properties which supplement them in the service, must not be common in kind or grade; they always show a large element of conspicuous waste.

It may also be noted that the devout edifices are invariably of an archaic cast in their structure and fittings.

So also the servants, both of the chieftain and of the divinity, must appear in the presence clothed in garments of a special, ornate character.

The characteristic economic feature of this apparel is a more than ordinarily accentuated conspicuous waste, together with the secondary feature--more accentuated in the case of the priestly servants than in that of the servants or courtiers of the barbarian potentate--that this court dress must always be in some degree of an archaic fashion.
