of the larger towns of Germany, finally settled in
Hamburg, which has been the scene of his activity
during the past twenty-five years. Originally a
painter, he turned his attention to the applied arts
when the new movement in Germany started about
fifteen years ago, and since that time he has done a
great deal of decorative work. In the “ Werkstatten
fur Wohnungskunst,” which bear his name and of
which he is the head, everything in connection
with house furnishing is designed and executed by
skilled craftsmen. Among some work recently
done by Herr Doren we are illustrating in colour
two designs for living-rooms which, with the other
illustrations, show the refined taste that distinguishes
his productions. H. A. G.
BERLIN.—The Berlin Lyceum Club has
been most successful with its exhibition,
“Die Frau in Haus und Beruf,” which
crowded the vast halls of the Zoo during
March. All classes of society concurred in this
show; the Empress was at the head of it, and
from the university student and the artist to the
factory girl every department of female work was
represented. The object of the promoters, to pre-
sent a general review of woman’s activity, domestic
and professional, and by means of it to point
the way to new developments and stimulate
progress, was fully attained. Some departments
were particularly rich in object-lessons, and
diversities were so shrewdly harmonised that the
display was a marked success from an aesthetic
point of view. The contributions to the sections
of high and applied arts evinced throughout a
respectable level. Interior decorators like Fia
Wille and Else Oppler proved their capability
of grappling with large and complex problems,
and others like Elisabeth von Hahn, Frau Cucuel,
Margarete Vorberg, Lotte Klopsch, and Marie
Sohlieder distinguished themselves in the equip-
ment of suites of apartments, restaurants, single
rooms, shop-windows, and so forth creditably. Many
items among the embroideries, laces, textile fabrics,
glass-work, ceramics, fans, jewellery, wicker furni-
ture, bookbinding, leather-work, and toys mani-
fested technical training and inventive gifts. A
