Catch " (page 150). The
emblem—for such it is, in
the dainty old sense of the
word—is delightfully worked
out, and adapted to the re-
quirements of the object with

good work is done by Miss

reticence and good taste. It
has started on right lines.
If it pursues them faithfully

succeeding generations an
