bracelet good in design and very well made; Mrs. F. S. 
Gardiner, a silver locket in repousse, beautifully modeled; 
Mr. H. C. Jeffery some well made rings; Mrs. Westbrook, 
and Miss Underwood bracelets. 
In the metal work, we would mention the beaten silver 
from the Handicraft Shop in Boston, a silver porringer made 
by Mr. C. H. Johonnot, a stamp box by Mr. G. Rodgers, and 
a silver teapot, sugar bowl, and cream jug, made by Miss 
Mills. 
The fire screen by Miss Minna D. Behr was most suc- 
cessful. The color and nice adjustment of wood, copper, 
and glass was well thought out. It was a very satisfying 
example of simple decorative art. 
Mrs. H. Butterworth had a very delightful panel for 
the back of a mantel; it was carved in a broad and simple 
way, in low relief. In the centre of the panel a green tile 
was set, which made an harmonious note of color. 
There was a small but good exhibition of hand-bound 
books. The Misses Ripley exhibited two guest books 
bound in tooled leather which were excellent in workman- 
ship and very interesting as copies after the Mediaeval 
Sienese of the 15th Century. 
The exhibition of textiles, including weaving, embroid- 
ery, wood-block printing and stenciling was one of the best 
sent in. We illustrate some wonderfully good work sent 
from the Institute for the Blind in Cleveland. A table 
cover by Margaret Whiting, of the Deerfield Society, of 
blue and white needlework, and a linen altar cloth, by 
Miss Helen Turk, of the Greenwich Handicraft School. The 
ends of the altar cloth were beautifully worked in fillet 
lace. 
Mrs. T. E. Heuche sent a portiere of Russian crash, 
the narrow strips of crash were joined together in a design 
of old blue and natural colored floss, which was very effective 
in color and design.

It was a matter of great regret that the exhibition was 
not better arranged for the exhibitor, and the invited public, 
— as in only one or two instances was the name of the ex- 
hibitor plainly indicated with his or her work. True there 
were catalogues, but every one does not buy one, and even 
possessing one, people do not always have the time and 
patience to look up the different articles in which they are 
interested. A crafts exhibit differs from an exhibition of 
pictures in this, that there are so many small articles, and 
for the benefit of the workers which the Societies are meant 
to represent, we would suggest the following: That the
