DESIGN FOR STENCILLED BY E. M. MAY

WALL TILES (CARLISLE)

Winifred Stamp (Regent Street), who sends a
considerable number of decorative illustrations, full
of a delicate fancy and imaginative resource. The
designs of Edmund Blampied (Lambeth) should
also be commended, and those of Violet Smith
are highly creditable to the Scarborough school.

Arthur Watts (Regent Street) shows great promise
as a black-and-white designer, and has a real
facility in a bold and exacting class of subjects.
The exercises in lettering and illumination are not
specially remarkable. The best specimen of a
decorated manuscript page is the one written and
illuminated by George H. Smith (Leicester).

Designs for textiles always form
a large and interesting section of
the exhibits. The most acceptable
novelties of the year are the dress
fabrics—a branch of modern deco-
ration greatly neglected by capable
designers, and a very praiseworthy
example of a woven hanging for
carriage upholstery—another field
grievously abandoned to the Philis-
tine. This exhibit is by David
Reeves (Manchester). In the dress
fabrics, contributions of real value
are made by Margery Hewitt (Horn-
sey) and William Stewart (Bradford).
Those of the latter are the more
original and interesting, and in some
cases designs of extremely delicate
