a toilet set to be executed in grey blue was well adapted and 
very appropriate. 
The set submitted by Miss Overbeck was singularly well 
amount of dignity which the eagle had but the lion had not. 
The design by Miss Ripley was good in color and the conven- 
tionalization of the dragon fly was also well done but the 
adaptation to the plate and the shape of the cup were not good.

COISVENTIONAL PEACOCK DESIGN— (Sopplement) 
Frederick Hurten Rhead 
THIS drawing requires as simple and direct treatment as 
possible. The different masses of color are rather 
drawn with the brush than painted. Commence with the point 
of the brush where the shape is thin or pointed, and as the shape 
widens out, exert more pressure on the brush, thus treating the 
design as a lesson in brush drawing, which will be of great 
assistance to the beginner who, as a rule, does not appreciate 
the full value of the brush. 
First lay on a ground of light yellowish green. (I am 
assuming you require directions for painting on a china slab) . 
Then fire. Let the drawing be as simple as possible, leaving 
the details, as the feathers, stones in the foot-path, twists in the 
trunks of the trees, to be drawn with the brush. For the sky 
and other parts in yellow, use about 2 parts of White Enamel 
to one of Yellow and paint strong. The tail and wings are a 
dark green, it will be advisable to paint the wdngs first then 
the quill and outer circles of the feathers, then the masses 
between. 
A rich dark blue is required for the neck of the bird 
and the inner circle of the feathers. Mix Yellow with the 
Dark Green, and a small proportion of French or 130 Brown to 
make the citron tone required for the leaves and stones. Use a 
good white enamel.
