THE CICADA 
From A.rt et Decoration 
WE have selected from a French magazine, " 'Art et Dec- 
oration," some drawings of the Cicada or "La Cigale" 
as the motif to be used in the next design competition of Kera- 
Mic Studio. We have made this selection because, in the first 
place, the work is so well done, and in the second place, because 
so few of our designers seem to realize that the material for 
design is to be found all about us, not only in flowers and fruit, 
but in insects, animals, fish, landscape and the innumeralsle 
objects, little or big, to be had for the looking. 
The problem for the March competition which will close 
January 15th will be to make a cup and saucer border not 
less than i inch nor more than one inch wide, with or without 
supporting vertical lines of decoration of the cup. The motif
