" circe" : stained glass panel by ida s. kay

nice pieces of Limoges enamel, designed
and executed by Miss G. M. Hart and
Miss F. Bunn, are the most noteworthy results
shown.

Miss Ida S. Kay, an illustration of whose
stained glass Circe is here given, also gains
awards, and shows further evidence of her
ability in a designed and carved ivory cross
and panels. It is difficult by such enumera-
tion to do justice to the spirit of the exhibition,
which shows that the Birmingham Art Schools
still justify the city's motto, " forward.'

LIVERPOOL.—From the enlarged scale
models submitted in the final compe-
tition for the Liverpool Memorial to
Queen Victoria, the executive and
general committee unanimously selected the
design of Mr. Charles J. Allen, sculptor,

its excellent finish and
good, simple decoration.
Amongst the examples of
embroidery shown those of
Miss A. Heynes (an em-
broidered muslin bodice)
and Miss M. Bolton are
noticeable. There is, how-
ever, something still to be
accomplished in the matter
of design in this section.

The metal - working
classes are also under a
new and thoroughly quali-
fied teacher, and though
the results exhibited arc
fewer in number, they
show right methods.
Specially good is a steel
box, the work and design
of T. Wright—excellent for
the perfect simplicity of its
treatment, which is in
keeping with the material
used. Besides this box, a
jug of beaten copper, with
brass handles, by A. Judge;
Mr. E. Creswick's copper

and silver casket, and some design for stained glass by gerai.dine morris
