the colour scheme is effective and harmonious,

At Messrs. Dickinson’s Galleries Mr. Allen
Shuffrey recently held an exhibition of water-
colours. The subjects treated by the artist con-
sisted mainly of Oxford Cathedral and colleges and
English landscapes. Among these several, such
as Bell Tower, New College; Clanfield; Armcliffe,
Yorks; and Stanton Harcourt and Pope's Tower,

DUBLIN. — At the recent exhibition
organised by the Art Committee of
the Gaelic League, much that was
most representative of contemporary

the Dun Emer industries—embroideries by
Miss Lily Yeats, hand-printing by Miss
E. C. Yeats, enamels by Miss MacCarthy,
bookbinding by Miss Eitzpatrick, and hand-
woven rugs, carpets, and tapestries by Miss
Evelyn Gleeson. Amongst the most in-
teresting exhibits in this section were the
church windows from Miss Purser’s stained-
glass works—an industry which represents
perhaps the most important achievement of
recent years in Irish decorative art. Mr.
Child and his staff of young artists, following
in the footsteps of Mr. Whall and Mr.
Selwyn Image, aim at carrying on the
traditions of the best period of stained-
glass manufacture. The beautiful windows
from the “Tower of Glass,” which may now
be seen at Emly, Loughrea, and many
other Irish churches, are a sufficient justifi-
cation of their work.
At the annual Art Industries Exhibition
in connection with the Horse Show, for
which a fine new hall has been specially
built by the Royal Dublin Society, there
was an even larger display of Irish Arts and
Crafts : the exhibit of lace being especially
remarkable for its variety and beauty. A
