David A. Baxter (Liverpool). He sends an
excellent binding for the Love Poems of Shelley,
two magazine covers—for The Flamingo and
Modern Design, another for Mr. L. F. Day's
book on embossed leather (though here the lettering
is a little too fanciful and obscure), and a remark-
ably clever and effective design of beetles for a
steel-and-enamel binding of Insect Life. This
decoration is as simple as it is striking, and would
have borne a little more careful detail in the work-
ing drawing. Edith M. Collier (Chiswick) sends a
good cover design for the Pilgrim's Progress, and a
still better one for the Memories of Burne-Jones.
The work of Edward Healey (Hull) errs a little on
the side of elaboration, but contains much thought-
ful and conscientious effort : his Nicholas Nickleby
is the best of his cover designs. An admirable
example of the actual tooling is shown by William
Terry (Camberwell), who exhibits his process from
design to execution in the fullest and most work-
manlike way. In this group of decorations there
are some very charming and delicate end-papers
by Laura Brocklebank (Blackheath), which are
obviously impossible to illustrate, but must not be
passed without praise.
Jewellery does not present much novelty this
year. The New Cross students maintain their
good repute in this direction, and among the new-

comers may be noticed Mary Howland (Hammer-
smith), who sends a graceful little design for a
pierced silver buckle, and Frederick Gordon
(Burslem), whose belt-clasp in silver and enamels
is very well contrived. This last student is also
represented by an agreeable flowing design for
tiles, arranged for a vertical border. Another
restful and satisfying tile-pattern is by Rowland
