DESIGN FOR PERSIAN PLATE— KATHERIN LIVERMORE 
IN the original, the center ground was black — to obtain a 
good black use Deep Red Brown for the first fire, for the 
second go over it with a mixture of black and Dark Blue. The 
entire design is outlined in raised gold, the forget-me-nots 
scrolls being modeled very daintily in the raised paste; use 
Dark Blue with a touch of Ruby Purple and Black for the large 
black form, introducing a green made of AjDple Green and Deep 
Blue Green in the inner white space, the stippled space being 
light blue. The ground back of the forget-me-nots should be a 
delicate grey; introduce a few touches of Capucine in the outer 
border forms and the space outside of this should be gold.

EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES 
A special exhibition of some of the more important of the 
recent acquisitions of the Egyptian department. Museum 
of Fine Arts, will be held soon. Owing to the crowded condi- 
tion of the museum, it will not be possible to place all new acces- 
sions on exhibition in the present building. The first case of 
objects from the gift of Theodore M. Davis of Newport has been 
arranged, and it contains a considerable number of porcelains 
with a beautiful blue glaze, also a series of sceptres, a 
large vase with triple cartouche, two amulets, two cylinders, 
etc., all bearing the royal cartouche of King Thothmes I\'. 
The rest of the recently received Egyptian antiquities are being 
prepared for exhibition. Among them are two small wooden 
figures of men and the wooden figure of a panther; a small 
wooden panel depicting in relief the goddess Muut and the lion- 
headed god Thoth; a funerary statuette of a king, two large 
canopic jars of limestone, a series of glazed objects of the first 
dynasty, a glass head of Rameses III, set in plaster, a group of 
slate palettes in various forms, a number of useful and orna- 
mental objects in alabaster, a series of prehistoric pots dec- 
orated with geometrical designs, flint weapons, etc. Mr. A. M. 
Lythgoe, the curator of the Egyptian department, who is now 
in Boston, will leave for Egypt again early in the winter. —

Old English Trentham ware is an effective revival of the 
year. Gayly colored fruits and flowers form the decorations 
on some pieces, while others show bees swarming to a hi^•e or 
very black cocks with very red comljs.
