enamel, illustrating the story of Theseus and
Ariadne, this casket is very rich and beautiful
in colour, and, apart from a difference in scale in
the figures in the two front panels, admirably
balanced in design. Mr. J. Cromer Watt, an
Aberdeen architect, was represented by a case of
enamelled jewellery, excellent in workmanship and
good in colour, but, excepting a pendant of two
dolphins, rather wanting in gracefulness of form.
A copper bowl by Miss How was of good and
simple design and competent workmanship, but
most of the other metal-work was too obviously

Mrs. McDonald, was deserving of notice. Of the
