TRAILING ARBUTUS OR MAY FLOWER IN 
WATER COLOR 
Maud Briggs KnowUon 
THIS little spring flower grows ver\' close to the earth, and 
blossoms about the first or middle of April in the New 
England States, putting forth its beautiful pink and white 
blossoms after the first warm April rains. 
The flowers should be painted in the centre with a delicate 
wash of Lemon Yellow and Emerald Green. 
It would be well to paint the most important bunch of 
blossoms in white, leaving the paper for high light, and making 
tender grey shadows of Rose Madder and Emerald Green. 
Those bunches of flowers which are painted in pink, should be 
done with Rose Madder used delicately, while in some clusters 
a thin wash of Vermilion raaj^ be used. 
For shadows of pink flowers use Rose Madder with a little 
Colialt. Centres of pink flowers are same as white. The verj- 
heart of the flower is a beautiful green made of Aureolin and a 
touch of Antwerp Blue. Care should be taken not to get it too 
dark. 
KAOLIN DEPOSITS 
EXTENSIVE deposits of kaolin of a superior quality have 
recently been discovered in Western Kentucky by a com- 
pany prospecting for lead. The samples that have been tested 
by experts are pronounced to be the finest yet discovered in this 
country. There is an unlimited supply, and practically all 
is free from foreign matter of any description. A company has 
been formed in Owensboro^ Ky., to develop the deposits and 
they hope to have them on the market in the near future. All 
the lands have been leased or purchased, and besides kaolin 
there is an unlimited supply of fire clay, standing tests up t(j 
4000°F. 
W. F. Keatcs of Lisbon, Ohio, has the management of the

DAFFODIL DESIGN FOR CRACKER JAR— MISS AUSTIN ROSSER 
'"[""'HI*] design may be laid in a flat tone of soft greyish green 
1 without outline. After firing ground la}" the entire 
siu-face of china with green glaze with which a little l:ilack has 
l^een thoroughly mixed — just enough to soften the tone. 
The strong contrast shown m the pen and ink drawing 
should l)e avoided in this or any monochrome treatment.
