CHESTNUTS— MARY BURNETT 
DRAW design carefully especially the open burr. For the 
nut use Ochre or Yellow Brown, and Finishing Brown 
with a touch of German Black to give depth and leave 
apex of nut white or it may be taken out with point. The 
inner part of burr is very light yellow with a little Ochre 
near points. The prickly part is dark Brownish Green 
with some sharp marks taken out with a point. For the 
other burrs use Moss Green and Brown Green for light- 
est one, and the others may be a little darker. The leaves 
are sharply serrated, and most of them should be paint- 
ed with Autumn tones. Use Yellow Brown, Finishing 
Brown and a little Red and the others may have Moss 
Green, and some Brown Green. 
EXHIBITION NOTES 
THE Mineral Art League of Boston held their annual exhi- 
bition the week of October 23rd, at the Westminstei . 
It was opened the evening of the 23rd, by a Private 
View. During the week there was a large attendance 
with good sales. The work generally was of a much 
higher standard than ever before. Miss Fairbanks showed 
a shallow bowl in reds and black which was excellent, re- 
sembling a Japanese lacquer, also a vase in a conventional 
design of Cyclamen which with other pieces was well done. 
Mrs. Swift's exhibit of gold with Lustres was very 
rich and admirably executed. Mrs. Gertrude C. Davis' 
work was of panels treated naturalisticaUy of roses and 
grapes. The technique was very good as usual. Mrs. 
Bertha Davis' display of grey blue conventional designs 
was pronounced by all as nearly perfect in color and de- 
sign. Miss Heath showed good conventional work in lus- 
tres and colors. Miss A. I. Johnson exhibited a tea pot 
in dull reds with a design of nasturtium leaves in bronzes 
which was a gem. Miss Page had a large vase in semi- 
conventional design of the Bird of Paradise flower, also 
a vase with a shell base done in green lustres, the upper 
part being green sea-weeds with water lines of gold. Sev- 
eral framed panels of landscapes and figures were also 
in her exhibit. Mrs. Ryder's punch bowl with an inside 
narrow border of tiny grapes in their natural colors and 
the outside in a conventional grape design in lustres was 
a good piece of work and much admired as were her fig- 
ure panels. Mrs. Mayhew's work showed the effect of 
diligent study of design in her most excellent exhibit. 
Mrs. Fitz's dessert set with gold etched border was good 
in design and treatment. Mrs. Bakeman's display of 
gold and white and jewel work was very dainty and well 
executed. Mrs. Bessie Cram had a good exhibit princi- 
pally conventional, a wine set in pink and gold on 
white being beautiful in design and workmanship. Also 
a tall stein done in brown green and black with a land- 
scape band at top in same colors with panel lines of black, 
was one of the most admired and well executed pieces 
in the exhibition. Mr. Callowhill's punch bowl and other 
pieces came in for a goodly share of admiration as did the 
work of the following members — Mrs Safford, Miss Prince, 
Miss Carter, Mrs. Morse, Mrs. Perrin, Miss Haskell and 
Mrs. Jarvis. The catalogue was attractive and netted 
a good sum.

GOOSEBERRIES (Page 193) 
Paul Putzki. 
The English gooseberries are much larger than the 
American variety and come in diff"erent shades, 
from a light yellow green to a dark red. For the lighter 
ones use Canary Yellow mixed with Dark Green, shad- 
ing with Yellow Red. Paint the darker ones flat with 
Carnation, shading in Blood Red and taking out some 
high lights with a clean brush. For the leaves take Dark 
Green, Yellow Green, Brown Green and Black Green. 
The background can be done in the same shades. 
STUDIO NOTES 
Readers of Keramic Studio will be interested to hear
