with design of beetle in raised gold and enamels were parti- 
cularly good. The two bowls in pine tree and ship motif were 
luiusually attractive.

Mrs. Anna B. Leonard, as always, had a display of china 
particularly well adapted to table ware. She also is one of 
our individual workers. There is a style and finish to her table 
china quite her own and she will always he found among the 
leading w^orkers of the New York Societ^^ A numl^er of 
attractive plates in color and in gold formed the greater part 
of her exhibit but a tea set with landscape decoration on a gold 
ground w^as a striking "piece de resistance." A chop or fruit 
plate with orange and green decoration was particularly effec- 
tive and a cracker jar in celadon ware with design in blue and 
green was very good in color.

in line and color. 'I'he tree design in blue gave t^uite a " Chel- 
sea" plate effect and was unusually good. The other tree 
plate was exceptional in color, which consisted mainlj? of a 
purplish blue and green ground with a touch of crimson and 
3-ellow brown in the flowers on trees. There were also a num- 
ber of interesting steins and other jjjieces but none quite as 
satisfying as the plates. Mrs. Wilson while yet a new member 
of the Society shows promise of being before long one of our 
most original decorators. 
Mrs. Cherry of St. Louis sent a few pieces in lustre and 
gold decoration which were unusually nice. We would be 
glad to see a more representative exhibit of her work. 
Mrs. Lj'dia Smith exhibited a quaint and interesting tea- 
pot with a decoration of parsley in silver on black, also a quaint 
little sugar and creamer with conventional poppj^ decoration. 
Miss Margaret Armstrong had an exhibit of work showing 
verj^ promising technique. 
Mrs. Marie Crillex^ \^'ilson showed some unusually' fine 
plates. The salad plate in shrimp pink, red and gold, was good

For the honor of the society and the art of the china 
decorator it is to be hoped that these best workers of the New 
York Society will do their utmost to send a good and repres- 
entative exhibit to the St. Louis Exposition. 
From Fiidand comes a most striking ware patterned after 
the x^Lrabian potteries. The pieces are cream color, in odd 
geometric shapes, with ornamental bands of geometric design, 
done in vivid reds, j'ellows, blues and greens.
