HXRAMIC STUDIO 
in the same purplish brown, the farther side of the lake ap- 
pearing mistily in the background. Sunset is in rich browns 
and yellows ; three purplish brown willows extend from the 
base with interlacing branches at top across a sky shading 
from yellow to yellow brown. There are glints of green in 
the water, and dull white waterlilies in the foreground, the 
distant shore making a band just below the shoulder of the 
vase. Moonlight is in deep blues, greens and greyish browns. 
The study of pelicans was made in Bronx Park, New York. 
One pelican stands on a rock at base with outstretched 
wings, throwing a sharp shadow on the rock. Two others are 
swimming in the middle distance. A lone tree is outlined 
against the sky, and a moon gleams from out of a cloud. As 
experiments in atmospheric effects on porcelain, these vases 
are quite successful. The other pieces are small experiments 
in lustre and color. 
Mrs. Anna B. Leonard has four fine samples of paste and 
enamel work in oriental designs of rich color and gold. Mrs. 
Neal is represented by her Fleur de Lis set in rich lustre and 
gold, and Mrs. Rowell shows a plate in the same mediums.
