presentation to Lord French, by whom it was lent
for exhibition. The casket, illustrated last month
in The Studio, is a fine piece of work, in the
decoration of which the Russian Bear, the French
Cock, and the British and Belgian Lions are intro-
duced. The lid is adorned with an ingenious
pattern in gold of English heraldic lions and the
lilies of France, and the inner case of ebony is
divided into two compartments, one for the roll
and the other for cigarettes.
The President of the Arts and Crafts Society,
Mr. Henry Wilson, showed in this room a case of
jewellery and another of silver. The jewellery,
excellent in workmanship and uncommon in
design, included among many things of interest
a striking tiara lent by Lady Llewellyn Smith.
Another good collection of jewellery came from
Mr. and Mrs. Gaskin, and among others who
contributed interesting pieces were Mr. William
T. Blackband, Miss Kate M. Eadie, Miss Cecilia
Adams, Miss Kathleen Adshead and the Misses
Ramsay. The combinations of silver and shagreen
shown by Mr. J. Paul Cooper were attractive,
notably the octagonal casket (200 v) and the
small circular box in black shagreen and silver.
Good work in silver was also contributed by Mr.
C. R. Ashbee, Mr. Edward Spencer, and Mr.
Alexander Fisher ; Mrs. Richter showed a case of
bead work; and in another case hanging on the
wall near the doorway was a collection of gems—-
onyx, cornelian, moonstone, quartz, agate, and
crystal—ably carved in portrait and other designs
by Mr. Cecil Thomas.
Mr. Wilson’s scheme of reconstruction included
the building of four small rooms in the Fourth
Gallery and three in the Fifth Gallery, and the
considerable spaces that remained were christened
respectively Domus No. 1 and Domus No. 2.
Domus No. 1 recalled the Arts and Crafts exhibi-
