OBITUARY 
Miss Ida Failing, Corresponding Secretary of the Denver 
Keramic Club, passed away in December with apoplexy. 
Miss Failing was one of the charter members of the Denver 
Club twenty-eight years ago and has been a contributor to 
the Keramic Studio for years. 
She was very original in design and her execution and 
color schemes were very pleasing. She was an earnest 
student, and her application of lustre and mat combinations 
to porcelains was of great interest at all Keramic exhibi- 
tions and her variety of effects produced placed her alone 
in this country in this form of decoration. 
She was also an untiring worker in Oil and Water Color. 
She spent several seasons in Woodstock, N. Y., and exhibited 
numerous pictures at the annual exhibitions of the Denver 
Artist's Club.
