lamp is toned a deep greyish yellow (neutral yellow) with 
a very full decoration in copper lustre over this background. 
The design is especially satisfactory, emphasizing the line of 
the jar and having a good rythmic pattern. It is quiet in tone 
and in excellent taste and is completed by an old gold silk shade. 
NATIONAL SOCIETY OF CRAFTSMEN 
INTEREST in embroideries and other branches of needle- 
craft is steadily reviving, and great progress has been made 
in recent years in the artistic development of this most beautiful 
craft. This type of craftsmanship is most delightfully exem- 
plified in the work of Mr. and Mrs. Armfield, whose beautiful 
embroideries compose the special exhibition now on at the 
National Society of Craftsmen. The work is a far cry indeed 
from the realistically colored roses and other floral exuberences 
we used to be familiar with on our table linens. The embroid- 
eries, in which both the old and modern have happily been 
combined, are most imaginative in design and delightful in 
color and evidence a very full and rich knowledge of art in its 
broadest sense. Such work is sure to prove a source of inspira- 
tion to the student of design. The accompanying photograph 
will give an excellent idea of the character of the work. 
TWIN CITY CERAMIC CLUB 
The Twin City Keramic Club gave its first formal 
luncheon November 1st at which time Mr. Maurice I. Flagg, 
President Minnesota State Art Society and Editor and pub- 
lisher of The Minnesotan spoke on Keramic Art, its rela- 
tion to the home. 
The Club has prepared an interesting program for the 
coming year, besides the regular business meetings, a special 
feature of which will be a question box. The Club has ar- 
ranged for a series of luncheons at which times local artists will 
speak on Art topics. These topics have been selected with 
a view of stirring the decorators out of their accustomed mental 
ruts in which all specialized work is apt to land us.
