tapestry. The metal work is of old silver, and the
canopy of the grate has a design of peacocks with
enamelled feathers. The carpet is soft purple in
colour, with two golden butterflies in the centre, and
a simple green border. The parquetry is of grey
maple, which contrasts effectively and yet not
strongly with the carpet. The woodwork of the
bedroom, in purple and white, is enamelled old
ivory colour, with decorative panels of inlaid woods.
The loose pieces of furniture are made of purple
wood. The panel .over the fireplace, A Dream of
Wild Roses, is executed on canvas with flat colour.
The carpet is plain, with additional small decora-
tive hand-tuft rugs of Irish peasant manufacture,
and the metal-work of the lamps and fittings is of
pale brass.
That George Logan gains the effect of simplicity
without dulness, and delicacy without monotony,
so desirable in a bedroom, is seen in the decora-
tion of the bedroom in a soft tone of silvery-grey
maple wood, with panels of soft coloured inlay of a
faded violet tone. The walls above the dado of
quiet grey panellihg are decorated in a more
Logan
definite note of rose colour. The door handles, the
fender, the electric bell switches are of a silvery white
metal, quaintly modelled and full of detail. Messrs.
Wylie and Lochhead understand the importance of
allowing each designer to elaborate every detail of
the arrangement, every piece of furniture, and every
little accessory by which the decorative scheme of
the apartment is perfected. The lines of the furni-
ture are dignified and severe in their simplicity, but
neither heavy nor trivial. Careful and studied as
the whole work is, it makes no display of labour or
eccentric ingenuity, and shows that George Logan
is an instinctive decorator with a knowledge of the
subtleties of colour arrangement and the refine-
ments of line which mark the work of the best
periods. --
The second International Congress for the
development of the teaching of drawing will be
held in August, 1904, at Berne. The object of
the Congress is to discuss the advantages and
defects of the present methods of drawing instruc-
tion, and to show the moral and educational value
of drawing.
