effective hangings in the

The use of the
method for decorating
textiles has been revived
and developed of late
years with pleasing results
in many quarters.
Among the best examples
at the Arts and Crafts
were a chairback border
by Miss Alice Wadding-
ton, and a somewhat daring
decoration of a linen
quilt by Miss Margaret
Hussey, which challenges
abundant space and light, BRONZE AND ENAMEL TRIPTYCH

beautiful materials will not
easily be surpassed. An-
other excellent piece of
weaving, with a delicate
green woof, was by Miss
Charlotte Brown. Miss
Catherine M. Manning's
woven hanging was of a
stouter quality, and had a
very pleasing character of
its own. But the most
original piece of design
in this group was by Mr.
Reginald Warner, executed
by the English Silk-weaving
Co., Ltd., at Ipswich, but
suitable either for silk or
wool. The pattern is
striking in form, but wisely
subdued in colour to a
scheme of sober grey-blue
and green, in which it
afforded one of the most
placed next to it—an applique-embroidered hanging
by Mr. Aylmer Vallance, executed by Miss K.
Delano Osborne with sound and even craftsman-
ship. The same designer and worker showed a
fine embroidered cushion square; and among the
more delicate and elaborate needlework the ex-
hibits of Miss Una Taylor were conspicuous.
Perhaps the most original of the smaller
embroideries was the clever little panel
exhibited by Mary A. Smith, designed by C. G.
Kingsley, and executed by Kitty S. Chambers, who
has caught most happily the weird and elfin-like
character of the design. The demons are rendered
with a gossamer lightness and transparency of touch
in very subtle modulations of colour—blue, green,
and silver, and the whole decoration has a vitality
and imaginative charm very difficult to sustain in
the medium of silk embroidery. The drawing
and composition of the design are also singularly
good. Another pleasant little embroidered panel,
more pictorial in treatment, was Miss Kate Button's
The jewellery work of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
