Arts and Crafts Exhibition. First Notice

Heywood Sumner; to have
seen his coloured cartoons
is to carry away with oneself
a pleasant recollection of
gentle colour. He has the
ability to colour them with
something of the promised
•effect of glass. Ordinarily
beyond the design, a
coloured cartoon for glass
affects one with a sense of
■dissatisfaction, so far is it
from sharing with us any of
the secrets which, present in
the designer's mind, await
their fulfilment for us in the
lighted glass. Close to Mr.
Sumner's larger drawings
are some sketches on a small
scale representing the colour
scheme of his window de-
signs, and these are touched
in with a charming dainti-
ness and precision. He ex-
hibits designs for windows
in Great Warley Church.
The central figures repre-

sented in the lights of one
are from the Old Testa-
ment, and those in the other
from the New Testament.
In the latter the varying
blues in the drawing of
the figure and in the back-
ground of the central panel
of the Virgin are an ex-
ample of the delicate colour
suggestion to which we have
referred. Mr. Heywood
Sumner is also represented
by a cartoon for sgraffito,
The Good Samaritan.

There are some quaintly
conceived designs for win-
dows in a billiard-room by
Mr. C. W. Whall; a large
and strongly - drawn glass
cartoon for Brandon Church
accompanied by a coloured
