TREATMENT OF COFFEE SET 
Adelaide Alsop-Robineau 
IT will of course be understood that only one of these de- 
signs is to be used on the entire set. These designs are 
very simple and simply executed and should be especially 
useful to beginners. On the coffee pot the entire painting is 
applied to the background only. Draw the design carefully 
in India ink then paint in the lines representing the back- 
ground, bringing them always up to the lines of the design, 
pad the painted lines lightly to keep them smooth, then rub 
in powder color to deepen the tint if desired. 
For the cup and saucer the design itself is filled with 
parallel lines. On the creamer the sky and water are painted 
leaving the tree design in white, and on the creamer the back- 
ground above flowers is painted leaving the effect of a white 
outline against the sky. Good effects can be obtained 
by painting the ground with one color and rubbing a dif- 
ferent powder color over it, as grey and green, grey and 
blue, etc. 
BONBONNIERE-B. MAIE WEAVER 
THIS design being adapted from the Egyptian would best 
be executed in colors used by that people, a combina- 
tion of strong blue, green, gold and black would be rich in 
effect. 
Red, ochre, black and gold also make a good color scheme. 
The lotus flower should be represented by the Blue or the 
Red, the buds and base of flower by Green or Gold. The 
other colors disposed as best suits the taste.
