THE CRAFTS AT ST. LOUIS 
TO craftsmen one of the most interesting exhibits at the 
St. Louis Exposition was the jewehy, notably that 
exhibited in the French Section. Two long cases represented 
numerous jewels and ornaments, by Rene Lalique, Officer of 
the Legion of Honor, at once sculptor, painter, enameler and 
goldsmith. Perhaps the simplicity that we are striving for 
these days is not alwaj^s there, but his work shows so surely 
the confident hand of a master craftsman. The originality, 
subtle harmonj^ of color and fearless spirit in his work are 
dehghtful. Take for instance one of the beautiful round 
deep collars, the one made of fine suede, with the desigris cut 
out, and the edges embroidered in fine gold thread. The 
clasp was made of two panels of carved horn, colored, so that 
they toned with the leather, these were set in silver and also 
toned so that the whole was perfect harmony. Another
