than many ambitious and imposing renderings of
the same subject. Another good piece of coloured
plaster decoration was an overmantel in the Long
Gallery, modelled by Mrs. Williams. Work some-
what similar in motive was exhibited by Mrs.
Stabler in her nearly life-sized group of the
“ Madonna and Child ” in the Large Gallery, and
in the interesting smaller pieces in the Corner
Gallery executed by the artist and her husband.
Of these the best were perhaps the “ Baby’s Head”

in terra cotta and the little
figure of “A Lavender
Woman ” in glazed earthen-
ware.
Mr. Stabler, whose silver
has already been noticed in
this article, also showed
some work in colour in the
shape of a group of enamels.
The largest was a panel
with a ground of subdued
blue relieved by a well-
designed composition of an ox decorated with
flowers and garlands, and supporting two children
on his back. In the execution of most of the smaller
enamels Mr. Stabler was assisted by a Japanese
collaborator, Mr. S. Kato. These included two
panels with striking grounds of pure scarlet; and
five others on a very small scale adorned with
figures of children, animals, birds, and groups of
flowers. The five small panels, of which four are
shown on this page were for a christening casket.
