of many industries that should benefit by
closer association with artists and designers of
our modern schools, and possibly we may yet

Two young and clever designers, Mr. Alfred
H. Jones and Mr. Bernard Cuzner, who were
until recently pupils of the Vittoria Street School,

pearls, and a gold pendant set with pearl and opal,
by Mr. A. H. Jones, are here illustrated. Artistic
jewellery has also attracted the attention of Mr.
A. C. C. Jahn, head-master of the Municipal
School of Art at Wolverhampton, some of whose
admirably designed and carried-out work is
illustrated. A. S. W.
