RUNN, Moravia.—A short time ago Dr.
Julius Leisching, Director of the Erzher-
zog Rainer Mu-
seum, in this
city arranged a “ Wander-
Ausstellung” or migratory
exhibition, of modern toys,
and more recently he has
followed this up with an
interesting exhibition of
modern arts and crafts,
which was held in the Arch-
ducal Museum itself. The
chief interest in this lay in
the exhibits of the French
contributors, and of these
some vases by M. and
Mme. Felix Marsoul were
especially noteworthy, for
they have been successful
in producing a blue glaze
similar to that which is
found on the old Egyptian vase
pottery. Their success is
thoroughly deserved, for they have devoted them-
selves with unwearied patience to their work.
Georges Bastard contributed some beau-
tiful objects made of mother-of-pearl and
some in which this is used in conjunction
with horn. His fans are singularly deli-
cate and refined in design and workman-
ship. He also showed some combs of
pleasing design; and those by Henri
Hamm were also remarkable for their
effects of colour and design. Some ex-
cellent silver clasps were exhibited by
Annie Hystak, a native ot Briinn, who
now resides in Paris.

tributed to the exhibition calls for brief
notice. Two of them are already known
to the readers of The Studio. Dusan
Jurkovic exhibited mahogany dining-room
furniture, electric pendants, and other
objects. Some of his designs were very
beautiful, and showed much thought and
knowledge gained from real study of the
old art of his country. Emil Pirchan
is a native of Briinn and studied in
Vienna under Professor Wagner. His
work shows constructive power, and the
furniture he has designed is harmonious,
practical and serviceable. The third
architect, G. Czermak, is also a native of Briinn.
Some hammered copper vases which he contributed
were admirable in design,
while his “interiors,” a
girl's bedroom and studio,
show sympathy with the
modern movement in de-
sign and workmanship.
The exhibition as a whole
was eminently satisfactory,
and reflected much credit
on Dr. Leisching.

TOCKHOLM.—
Wandering along
the Halland coast
—a typical Swe-
dish landscape, with its
rocks and boulders, slopes
and crevices, oak and fir,
barrenness and luxurious
by felix marsoul vegetation, embraced by
the wide eternal sea, studded
with islands—the wayfarer will suddenly wonder
and think he sees a vision, for Tjoloholm Castle
