Parker (Blackheath) re-
vealed it also in her un-
pretentious but quite satis-
fying patterns. Leonard
G. Andrews (Battersea)
repeated the blunder of
his school in applying to
muslin an exceptionally
good design for, let us
say, a bathroom dado, with
large classic discs adorned
with sea-birds and mer-
maidens. In the case of
Amy Eyre's printed muslin
for a nursery the error was
not quite so flagrant, but
the Pied Piper and his
muslin. The strong bold masses suggested by
the outline, and the solid forms of lions and
tigers, demanded at least a wall-paper or a sub-
stantial tapestry to contain them in a fitting way.
Muslin calls for the most ethereal forms for
the bases of its decoration,—as, for instance,
butterflies, birds, and the lightest kinds of foliage.
The designs of Emilie Gardiner, though less
brilliant and original than those of the success-
ful competitor, were far more suitable to the
medium for which they were meant. Cuthbert
Partington (Heywood) had perhaps caught the true
spirit of muslin decoration better than any other

more at home on a cretonne or paper. With the
same reservation, the design of John Holden
merited cordial praise; its contrast of the ships on
the sea with the sheep in the meadow was an
ingenious exercise in convention and suggestion,
carried out with very decorative effect. Jessie
Browton (Watford) again proved herself quite
equal to the Battersea standard with her dainty
design of poplars with circling flights of birds.
Francis Baker (Blackheath) was equally successful
in her charming little floral patterns for printed
delaines. The woven muslin by J. W. Blackburn
