almost even tone, which is rather difficult to obtain in one fire. 
The wavy band surrounding the rosette is green — com- 
posed of Apple Green, Mixing Yellow, Chrome Green 3B, 
Brown Green (Lacroix) and a touch of Black. If two shades 
of green are desired, leave out the Brown Green, which will 
make a harmonious light green. 
Use Silver Yellow with one-eighth Aufsetzweis and a 
little Flux, for the centers of rosettes and for the middle of 
the central ornament in the panels. Just this little touch of 
Yellow gives life to the decoration. 
For the dark green tones one-eighth Aufsetzweis with a 
little Flux will give the desired glaze and body, but for the 
lighter tones of green use with the Aufsetweis and Flux, one- 
third, Hancock's Hard Enamel. The points in the outer rim 
are: First row grey blue tone, next green, next dark blue, 
and last grey blue. Make this tone by using Apple Green and 
Deep Blue Green with a touch of Black. Add this to the 
body enamel until right tone is obtained. For body enamel 
use Aufsetzweis two-thirds and Hancock's Hard Enamel one- 
third. To this mixture add one-eighth Flux.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM A SUBSCRIBER 
" Keramic Studio Publishing Company. 
" I do care to renew my subscription to Keramic Studio, 
as I find it of great use in an artistic way ; the conventional 
designs, in many cases, being good studies for me. I certainly 
appreciate the effort made by the Editors of the Studio to 
give to the subscribers a great deal more good than we pay 
for, and I must have the magazine, if I go without something 
else, to pay for it. Thanks for your beautiful colored supple- 
ments. 
" Glad you published ' Ex-Subscriber's letter.' Variety is 
spice of life. Will send P. O. in a few days. 
" Respectfully, 
December 29, 1901. "Southerner." 
HAZELNUTS— J. E. HANSON 
THESE Hazel nuts were gathered by a Connecticut road- 
side on September 2nd, so take lighter tones than an 
October nut. But one husk opens enough to show a bit of its 
brown nut. Extreme edge of husks were bright with ochre, 
red brown and bit of (Brown 4) in varied markings running 
into a light, warm green, and at base of nut a browner green. 
The smooth, actual covering of nut is yellow for mixing — 
ochre and some warm brown tone in darkest accents. 
The little pendant, where leaf joins stem, is light yellow- 
ish green with brownish dots. 
Make the most of the broken tones of red and brown in 
frost touched and worm-eaten spots. The leaf, without "spice 
of life" color, is well represented by moss green, and shaded 
with brown green and shading green. 
The background may be made to suit the painter's fancy, 
whose taste may run to simple or many hued treatment.
