DESIGN FOR BOOK-COVER BY WILLIAM MELLOR
(MANCHESTER, CAVENDISH STREET)
of printed cottons by Mary G.
Perrott (Islington). In those shown
by Thos. T. Nelson (Wakefield)
the human figures, though carefully
studied, are not quite successful—
as indeed they rarely are on a
fabric intended for drapery. The
Battersea school is conspicuous as
usual in designs for printed muslins,
some of which are very pretty and
effective, though the whole group
shows a tendency to a stereotyped
style. The work of Ida Harford
deserves special praise. The best
printed muslin of the year, how-
ever, is by Monica Bellasis (Hast-
ings)—a quite original and delight-
ful little pattern based on the wood
sorrel. Isaac W. Taylor (Wake-
line and colour have an effect which for want of
a better description might be compared with the
faintest of “end-papers” translated into silk.
The linen hanging by Emma Richardson (Scar-
borough) is the most pleasing of those designed
on a large scale. There is a dainty little group
m.umtorpey:

field) has not quite succeeded in blending the two
contrasting themes in his design to make a har-
monious whole. The exhibit of Violet Bennett
(Regent Street) in this class is remarkably good.
