r I \HIS subject is one of the most decorative of the wild 
A flowers. The arrangement of this particular speci- 
men within the space is especially fine. It is so strongly 
silhouetted against the background that a monochrone 
treatment is at once suggested. But if one wishes to carry 
on the natural colors, use a pale Lemon Yellow or Ivory 
Yellow for background. The blossom is painted with 
shades of purple, from pale lavender, (Fry's Lilac) to Pansy 
Purple. The greens, Grey Green and Dark Green, the 
dark portions being glazed or dusted with Moss Green. 
This would be beautiful on a small vase in Copenhagen 
Grey against a delicate Ivory ground, also in tones of 
brown running from Yellow ochre to Dark Brown— with 
background of Neutral Yellow. Tint the background all 
over first and fire before beginning the study.

EXHIBITION OF THE CHICAGO CERAMIC 
ART ASSOCIATION 
THE fifteenth annual exhibition of the Chicago Ceramic Art 
Association was held at the Art Institute of Chicago 
from May 7th to June 1st. The exhibition included the 
work of the National League of Mineral Painters, of which 
a detailed account will be given later. The exhibition 
was exceptionally fine this year, and included decorated 
porcelain and many beautiful pieces of pottery, both thrown 
and built. 
Evelyn Beachey showed a number of pieces, all interest- 
ing examples of her individual style, strong both in color 
and design. Notable among them was a bowl which was 
very quaint in color and decorated in a geometric design 
introducing a rose motif. She also exhibited several good 
plates especially adapted for table service. 
Lula C. Bergen's vase decorated with sweet pea motif 
was very beautiful in color as well as design, she also showed 
two pleasing plaques and other pieces.
