KERAMIC STUDIO 
give a sort of flame effect. She also shows a handsome bowl 
in purple. 
Mrs. K. E. Cherry, of St. Louis, exhibits a vase in fleur de 
lis, well painted and nice in color. She, too, is hardly we 
represented by her work here. 
Mrs. Church, of New York, is doing some interesting 
work in Rembrantesque decorative heads. She is one of 
New York's new workers and a clever one. 
The Chicago Club sends a large and varied exhibit. 
Apart from the figure work already mentioned the most 
clever work seems to be that of Miss Mary Phillips, whose 
flat enamels and other decorative work, both in historical and 
modern design, shows the serious worker. Mrs. E. B. Enright 
shows also some commendable modern designing. 
Of the Bridgeport Club Mrs. Doremus shows a handsome 
chocolate set of lustre over gold. 
Mrs. Perley of the California Club, has some exceedingly 
elaborate and well executed pieces in flat enamels and gold, 
Oriental designs. This is perhaps the best work of its kind in 
the entire exhibit. 
Mrs. Culp, also of San Francisco, shows some interesting 
flower work. 
The Denver Club is well represented by Miss Ida Failing, 
whose paste and enamel is technically perfect. She has been 
well known for this kind of work several years. 
Mrs. Worth-Osgood of the Brooklyn Club and late 
President of the National League, shows some interesting 
decorations of bats in blue and of storks in brown. 
The Duquesne Club is the only one to show glass decor- 
ation. This was well done, and we regret we failed to get the 
name of the artist. 
Miss Overly's flower work was the most interesting in 
this Club's exhibit. Miss Myra Boyd and Mrs. Swaney 
showed some interesting conventional work in Oriental de- 
signs. 
In the Jersey City Club's exhibit we liked best the 
Chinese bowl of Mrs. Ehler in flat color and gold. 
Boston was not as well represented as we had expected. 
Mr. Callowhill's large vase of roses " smothered" in gold was 
rather the best piece. 
A most interesting exhibit was the case of plates in com- 
petition for the League medal. Miss Elsie Pierce of the 
New York Club, was the medalist. Her plate has a border of 
conventionalized Poppies in green, and is decidedly the best 
design in the case. Altogether the League makes a very 
good showing. 
The Buffalo Club has an exhibit by itself. The work is 
still somewhat in the formative state, but the Club shows its 
appreciation of really good things by having added to itself 
an exhibit of a collection of pottery and porcelain from vari- 
ous American sources loaned by Mr. King and Mr. Philip 
Smith, of Buffalo. This was very interesting as showing the 
different kinds of work done in the United States. 
The Atlan Club is very badly placed, mixed up with a 
lot of fancy work. The work itself is as excellent as ever. 
The exhibit, we understood, was composed of specimens 
from the Paris exhibit. 
Altogether the various exhibits of Porcelain and Pottery 
at the Pan-American are well worth seeing and studying, and 
there is little doubt that with so many serious workers 
keramics in America will take a much longer stride forward 
in the next decade than it has in the past.

The New York Society of Keramic Arts 
NOTES ^ e ^ ' ts November meeting at the Waldorf- 
C LUB 
Astoria, and after the business was transacted, 
some interesting papers were read. One by Marshal Fry, 
on the Alfred Summer School of Keramics ; another "Sketch- 
ing in Holland," by Mrs. Neal, who has just returned from 
her annual sketching tour. Then Mrs. Anderson gave a most 
interesting account of her summer at Ipswich, in Mr. Dow's 
summer classes — a synopsis of which will be given in the 
Keramic Studio. The Society will give its annual exhibit 
at the Waldorf Astoria, December 9th, 10th, nth. 
The Poughkeepsie Keramic Art Club held its annual ex- 
hibition the 1st of November. The rooms were hung with 
handsome rugs, while the china was displayed on old polished 
mahogany tables. In connection with the work of the mem- 
bers, there was a loan exhibit of rare old china, which added 
to the educational feature of the exhibit; we would suggest 
other clubs following this example. 
The Atlan Club of Chicago gave a reception at the Art 
Institute October 31st, where their work will remain until 
November 13th. We consider this the most dignified way of 
of exhibiting. Receiving recognition from the Art Institute 
at once places their work in the position that it deserves. 
The Jersey City Keramic Art Club is making an innova- 
tion this season by having at their monthly meetings a differ- 
ent New York teacher each time to give a practical lesson 
demonstrating the way in which he or she works. The idea 
is broad and we are awaiting results with interest. The club 
supplies the china upon which the artist is to work, and if it 
is not finished in one lesson, the members, if wishing to do so > 
in a body visit the artist's studio and again take another lesson, 
which of course is necessary where there are to be two or 
three firings. 
The Arts and Crafts Club will hold its first meeting Nov. 
7th. The membership of this organization is not limited to 
students of the New York School of Art. In order to increase 
the accommodations required by large enrollment of the class 
in designing, Mr. F. K. Houston has taken a studio at No. 
1 5 12 Broadway. The staff of instructors remains unchanged, 
with the exception that Mr. Everett Shinn has charge of the 
sketch class. 
The Indianapolis Club held its annual exhibition the 
week of November nth at English's Hotel. There was a 
round table in the centre of the room called the " Court of 
Honor," and all work done under the instruction of prominent 
teachers was placed there, which distinguished it from the 
work done by the members unaided. 
Among the exhibitions contemplated at the National 
Arts Club during the present season is one of objects relat-
