designs are two carpets, a oak pedestal is also exhibited. A large house at
bold rose pattern, and an Huddersfield, illustrated by several views, is a very
effective stripe; and also carefully thought-out design; perhaps the best
a rather frail-looking view is that of the staircase, with some fine plaster-
writing-table with good work modelled by J. R. Cooper, portions of
metal-work. Some in- which are shown in full-size models. Some very
teresting metal-work by simple small houses, and the excellently grouped

Hugh Wallis has a quaint gesso figure panel, with
broadly treated wood frame and repousse metal
bands. Some excellent printing, shown by
H. C. D. Chorlton, includes several Christmas
cards, one of which particularly, with a fine initial
letter, is very charming; some good menu cards,
and the remarkably choice little badge for the
catalogue cover. This work all shows refine-
ment of design and beauty of colour. Coming
to the more architectural exhibits, Edgar Wood
shows a set of photographs of some delightful
buildings, in which simplicity is the keynote
throughout, although some portions are richly
decorated with carving, modelled plaster, or deco-
