AT THE SIGN OF THE BRUSH AND PALETTE 
(Continued from page 24) 
Design and the Decoration of Porcelain. These lessons were 
given serially in Keramic Studio a year ago, and created a 
great deal of attention at the time. But in book form they 
gain a force and unity which should make them invaluable to 
the studio and class room. There is a foreword on the intro- 
duction of China Painting in America that yields important 
information to the student. Design and the Decoration of 
Porcelain is dealt with in a convincing and understandable 
manner, and together with the excellent illustrations, should 
prove as beneficial as a course of personal instruction. 
The last exhibition in historic Copley Hall was given this 
Spring when the Spanish King's tapestries were shown in Boston. 
Copley Hall is a low wooden structure on Clarendon Street, 
looking very much like a large stable if it were not for the 
studio skylights in the roof. Most of the famous Boston ex- 
hibitions have been given here. Raemaekers' cartoons were 
shown here last Autumn and Zuloaga's paintings this Winter, 
perhaps the most notable event of them all. When the Massa- 
chusetts Institute of Technology moved across the Charles 
to its new home in Cambridge, the old buildings were sold, 
and Copley Hall coming under the same property, was doomed. 
It has been the scene of many a brilliant artists' frolic and 
private exhibition. 
The annual election of the Art Lovers Club of Greater 
Boston took place the last of April with the following officers 
installed for the season of 1907-0908: President, Mrs. Anita 
Gray Chandler (re-elected); Vice-President, Mrs. Edward 
Rockwell (re-elected); Secretary, Mrs. W. S. Brown; Treas- 
urer, Mrs. A. Laurence Pouleur; Librarian, Miss L. H. Barnard. 
It was voted to contribute all money usually invested in gift 
pictures to the Red Cross Fund. The members have also 
denied themselves their annual Spring Luncheon, contributing 
fees for the same to Red Cross work.

OLD CHINESE CRACKLE VASE 
HPHIS vase is of old Chinese crackle ware and was picked up 
-1 in an old Chinese shop. It may be possible to dupli- 
cate the shape in Satsuma. 
The design is earned out with Old Chinese Blue Enamel, 
except the little round flower in centers of ovals. This flower 
is Rhodian Red Enamel with Old Chinese Blue Enamel center 
and Bright Sea Green Enamel for the stems. The light part 
in the half circle around the dots in center is Rhodian Red 
Enamel. 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
B. F. K. — Is White Gold as durable as other golds? 1 used it on a set 
of dishes and it is chipping off. 
Yes, it is as durable. If it chips off it probably was applied too heavy, 
but if it is just wearing off, any gold will do that with much usage. 
E. L. S. — Please give me a color scheme for rase in June, 1905, magazine 
page 26 by Mrs. Chas. Warner. 
To be carried out in enamels on Belleek or Satsuma. Outline in Black. 
Center flower at both top and bottom is equal parts Warmest Pink and White. 
The two at the side are Warmest Pink. The two turned over blossoms at 
the top and the tips of the small buds are Mulberry. Leaves are Florentine 
No. 12. Buds and calyx are Leaf Green. Stamen are 1 Naples and 2 White. 
Dots back of design are Gold. 
Note: — The title of the Sung pottery in the May number 
should read T'zn-chow instead of I'zn-chow. The printer is 
not to blame for the error since the Inn-keeper's T's look 
like I's.
