RERAMIC STUDIO 
NATIONAL LEAGUE OF MINERAL PAINTERS 
THE circulars concerning the St. Louis Exposition have 
been sent out to all the clubs, and it is hoped that work 
is being planned accordingl3^ 
It was suggested by Mr. McGibbons, the Eastern Represen- 
tative, that we should make application for increased space, as 
the League, standing for so many clubs throughout the countrj^, 
should have an opportunity to be adequately represented. 
This application has been inade and we hope the space 
will be filled with the best work yet shown by the League. It 
must be remembered that this applies to the study course, the 
work being laid out on definite lines. 
The coming meeting of the Advisory Board will be for the 
purpose of appointing committees for St. Louis, and making all 
the arrangements possible at present. We shall also discuss 
the feasibility of having the amiual election in May, in New 
York, instead of St. Louis. 
The League Exhibition is still on its travels and will be in 
San Francisco in December. It would be a great satisfaction 
if the different clubs would instruct their secretaries to send an 
account to the League of their impressions of the exhibition, 
their mamier of installing it, and any other points which may 
give us information or be of interest.

STUDY OF HOPS 
Mrs. Bramc Van Kirk 
THE hops with foliage are generally of a monotonous tone 
of vivid green. Changes in the season give the varied 
tones which increase usefulness for artistic decoration. 
The hops may be seen as a cool pea green shading to darker 
greens (cool greens) . Then they may lae found in all the tones 
of brown when the hop begins to dry. 
For green hops use Black Green or Dark Green strengthen- 
ed with Black; for depth and for modeling, Dresden Yellow 
Green or any cool light green for light tones.' For brown or 
drying hops use Yellow Brown to which is added either Brown 
Green or some of the Browns, as the case may be. 
When the hops begin to dry the leaves of the vine also 
change, deepening to a black green, showing also brown in the 
decaying edges. Use the same greens as for hops, using tender 
fresh greens where the fresh leaves are desired.
