ftERAMIC STUDIO 
Mr. Bischoff sent a large exhibit beautifully painted in 
his inimitable style and charming color. We especially liked 
his panels of birds which were painted in charming grey tones. 
"SPARROW PANELS'* MR. FRANZ A. BISCHOFF 
Mrs. Price is another new member who shows great prom- 
ise. Her bowl with Nasturtium design in blue and green flat 
enamel on black ground was very interesting. The values 
photographed much lighter than they were, they really hung 
together with the ground very well. The squirrel bowl in 
bronze and gold was also good, as were quite a few other 
things. 
Miss Laura Overly, a Pittsburg member, showed some 
clever work in subdued color, a vase in greys with Poppy de- 
sign was especially good. A stein in grapes semi-convention- 
ally treated, and others with strictly conventional designs were 
also successful.

Mrs. Church showed a set of steins and other pieces, 
charming in color and well painted. We feel as if she could 
do some stunning decoration if she chose. 
Mrs. Lydia Smith and Mrs. Hibbler 
showed some carefully executed and well 
considered plate decorations in historic 
ornament. The two examples given, al- 
though good, were not the best plates of 
either decorator. 
The exhibits are yearly becoming more 
original — by which we mean that though 
the ideas of decoration may not always be 
entirely new — the interpretation is progres- 
sively more individual. 
Altogether the New York Society has 
reason to feel greatly encouraged, even if 
it still has many members who do not care 
for advance in art. The proportion of ad- 
vanced and advancing workers is sufficiently 
large to warrant a feeling of pride and 
mrs. smith hope.
