The National Competition
more simple but very delicate and pretty piece of
embroidery for a table-cloth is shown by Mabel
Nicholls, and a similar one by Maude Gem. The
decoration of the cloth by Ada Whitely is an
admirable illustration of the geometric treatment
of linen in harmony with the warp and woof of the
material. One of the best pieces of embroidery
for dress decoration is the beautifully simple little
linen yoke by Katherine Hayes. A more ambi-
tious piece of work among designs for damask is
DESIGN FOR DAMASK BY EDITH ANDREWS
TABLE-CLOTH (WORCESTER)
a table-cloth by Edith Andrews, in which the de-
coration is quite novel and daring. It is one
of the happiest examples of economy of line
with wealth of decorative effect.
Several other schools send good specimens of
work in linen, such as the embroidered coverlet
by Marguerite Janeck (Birmingham), the beautiful
little embroidered collar by Naomi S. Gray (Bat-
tersea) in pearly silver and blue, the dress-collar
and cuffs by Rose Evans (Camberwell), and the
pretty little set of mats in dark linen, embroidered
in green and purple, by Emmeline Reynolds
(Leeds).

PRINTED MUSLIN (BATTERSEA POLYTECHNIC)
The three-fold screen by Clara Lavington (Leeds) is
bold in composition and colouring and more than
usually good in design, and a difficult panel in
darned work is that by Irene Allen (Plymouth), for
which the water-colour study is exceedingly well
done.
The lace designs reach a very fair standard of
