TEA SET

BY MRS. A. B. LEONARD

with decided blues and greens in stiff patterns,
showed immense variety.
Enamelling in colour and a skillful use of gold
marked the exhibit of Mrs. Anna B. Leonard. A
tea-set of white with a rose design in gold was finely
finished, and so was a teapot done in bronze, green
and gold, while fruit bowls and platters and plates
in blue, green and many-coloured enamels showed
elaborate and handsome designs, and an accurate
judgement in colour. Airs. Sara Wood Safford had
a breakfast and a luncheon service, the one in white,
with delicate lines of silver for decoration, and the
other pale green and silver, of a similar style.
Miss Caroline Hofman uses strong colours, beau-
tifully put together. A plate with a pattern of blue
leaves, and red and gold carnations, was striking,
and so was a bonbon box with an orange flower on
its lid. Mrs. S. Evannah Price showed nice work-
manship on a set of plates with a gold border; a dull
Chinese blue tea-service with Persian border, a
bowl with nasturtium design, and a tall vase with
ships in grey and yellow. Miss Dorothea Warren
uses gold and color in Persian and Italian patterns.
A punch bowl was covered on the outside with a
trailing vine in a delicate Persian pattern in pale
tints. Peacocks were combined with flowers, in
yellow, green and violet, on a platter. Abstract
patterns were noticeable in Aliss Elizabeth Mason’s
pieces. Blue was combined with white in geo-
metric designs, black with green, yellow with gold,
two shades of blue on a bowl, and green and red, on
another bowl.
Aliss Helen Walsh showed much work in similar

designs. She had a chop plate in white and gold,
service plates with fine cream and other pale tints in
the centre, and borders of gold and colour. A large
plate had a white chrysanthemum on a light green
background, a tea-jar of blue and grey had orange
in the border, a tall vase of olive was edged with two
shades of blue, and orange and green were com-
bined in the border of a bowl. Aliss Etna S.
Christianson made a skillful arrangement of gray-
blue and deep blue on a bowl, and had a cherry bor-
der of quaint design on a plate, while a set of cups
and saucers were decorated with a pattern in blue,
and a tall vase had a design of narcissus and leaves.
