X. Y. — When the background of a design is grounded, before putting on 
the powder color, go over the spaces which you do not wish grounded, with a 
piece of damp absorbent cotton on a stick, this will remove any of the tur- 
pentine or grounding oil which may have run over the lines. 
To clean out a small design, such as a line or small scroll, use a wet sharp 
pointed hardwood stick. Orange wood is very good. For outlining in color 
with a pen, make a thin syrup but plenty of color, if you thin the syrup after 
mixing with color you must add more color or it will be too weak. Use a

color is the right consistency you should have no trouble, you will, of 
course, have to experiment to find just the right proportions of syrup and color. 
A raised paste line can be put on over a dry or fired tint but not over grounded 
color fired or unfired, it must not touch the grounded color. You must trust 
to the gold to make the line touch the color. You can put on your paste line 
next the grounded color in the first fire if you are very careful not to let it 
touch. 
Good gold should stand quite a hard fire, if it looks thin after two good 
coats, either the make of gold is poor or it has been badly put on, perhaps two 
good coats the first fire and two thin coats the second fire would be better.

STUDIO NOTES 
After a three year's absence in other states where 
she has been teaching and at the same time studying new 
methods, Miss Mellona Butterfield has returned to her 
studio in Omaha where she will be pleased to receive her 
friends. 
The managers of the Chautauqua Summer School 
are very fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. M. B. 
Perley of San Francisco for this next season. She is now 
studying with Mr. Aulich of Chicago and will spend June 
in the New York studios. Mrs. Perley is not discouraged 
by her bitter experience at San Francisco; but is full of 
hope for the future and will doubtless meet with full 
measure of success.
