A PICTURE POORLY LIGHTED
Is worse than a picture not lighted at all. Many an artist who
has had his work ruined by impracticable or inefficient lighting
can testify to the truth of this statement. We are recognized
experts in the art of pidture lighting, and are pleased to offer
our services to all desiring perfect illumination of their pictures,
whether arranged in units or treated as a gallery.

there exist a floor bearing the slightest re-
semblance to this of St. Paul’s. Perhaps
its closest relationship, and this in feeling
only, lies with the exquisite mosaics in the
ceiling of the tomb of Galla Placidia, Ra-
venna. In the one stately forms move
across the vault of heaven’s blue; in the
other the cross, with its golden halo, glows
in the blue of infinite space, symbolic of
human life and its divine aspirations.
NOTES ON THE TILE
The tile in general are characterized by
freedom in the fashioning, having an undu-
lating plane on the surface, with softened
edges and corners. All the irregular
shapes were cut in the clay, being made
from templets during the progress of the
laying, when necessary, so that there was
no chipping or cutting of the finished,
burned tile.
In the unglazed portions, aside from the
clay colored by nature, those of deep tones,
like blue or green, were composed of solidly
colored body, no slip glazes being em-
ployed.

A MODERN JAVANESE BATIK
> A very unusual and interesting
display is that of Mr. Peter Myer recently
seen in the rooms of the National Society
of Craftsmen, says a writer in the Arts and
Crafts Bulletin of the National Society of
Craftsmen. Mr. Myer himself has designed
and executed most of the examples on ex-
hibition. Although originally from Hol-
land his home has been in Java, where he
learned the art of batik making. The arti-
cles here shown vary from large hangings
to smaller pieces, as cushion tops, and are
in the general style of pattern which we
are accustomed to associate with the Java-
nese wax cloth. Mr. Myer is assisted in
this work by his wife, who also comes from
the Dutch East Indies, and to whom is due
touches of embroidery sometimes used to
embellish a fabric.
With the general principle of the batik
we are more or less familiar, but a modern
batik, produced in the style of the East
strikes one as a somewhat new note. The
designs are all severely conventional,
formed of lines, dots and broad spaces, and
are very decorative in character.
