WARDS IN "THE STUDIO"
PRIZE COMPETITIONS.

Design of a Girl's Head.
(A XXXII.)

This competition did not prove a popular one,
and Messrs. Cherry and Smalldridge are of opinion
that none of the designs satisfactorily fulfil the
conditions. We must, however, reserve a word of
praise for the excellent drawing by Forres, to
which has been awarded the First Prize.

Slav Tales. From the French of Alex. Chodsko.
Translated and Illustrated by Emily J. Harding.
(London : George Allen. Price 6s.)—The majority
of these stories, we are informed, are presented
here for the first time in English dress. The
strong likeness that many of them bear to the
Arabian Nights is a matter of interest to students
of folk-lore. They are well told and profusely
illustrated.

The Village of Youth, and other Fairy Tales. By
Bessie Hatton. Illustrated by W. H. Margetson.
(London : Hutchinson & Co. Price $s. 6d.)—
Author and artist may alike be congratulated upon
this book, which is one of considerable merit. Mr.
Margetson designs with equal charm, whether he
uses pen or brush.
