DESIGN FOR STENCILLED FRIEZE

book-bindings by Ethel Slater (Leeds) and of
the wonderfully dainty little series of end-papers
by Louise Flick (Leicester), with their ethereal
and rainbow-like effects of colour. Among the
more elaborate designs in embossed leather is a
Litany cover by Ester Tatlow (Wolverhampton),
which contains much thoughtful and beautiful
workmanship. The decorative motive consists of
two kneeling figures face
to face beneath a cross,
and the treatment, though
very simple, is sympathetic
and full. The same may be
said of the blotter by Clara
Miles (Plymouth), which,
though more rich and sen-
suous in decoration, is equally
good in imagination and
technical power. Mention
should also be made of a
beautiful little plaster model
for a cover for a birthday-
book by T. T. Nelson
(Shipley), which is notable
for its imaginative charm.
The application of stencil-
ling to the larger kinds of de-
coration is illustrated by John
Potter (Derby), whose design
for the stencilled decoration
of a church is well adapted
to its purpose, and rightly
looks much better in the
small study giving the general

what crudely coloured en
largement of the details.
A pleasant stencilled hang-
ing is designed by Ernest
Dewson (Levenshulme),
and another, clever in con-
struction but a little rest-
less and uncompanionable,
by Jessie Cowan (Stafford).
The stencilled frieze by
Francis E. Hodge (Ply-
mouth) is well composed
and full of breezy motion
and atmosphere. The
management of the light
and distance is very good.
Another by James A. Found
(Hull) is based upon a
chase of hare and hounds,
in which the general composition is vigorous and
effective. The best stencilled wall-paper is by
Lilian Pledge (West Ham). This shows a true
appreciation of the value and limits of this
decorative method and of the happy results it
may give when used with a light and sparing
hand. Most of the wall-papers and cretonnes
are very conventional this year, but some of the
