Arts and Crafts Exhibition. First Notice
sketch model: "virtues designed and executed by e. e. schexck
on stand by Ambrose Heal—the wood is chosen with regard to decorative beauty of colour and a deco-
a pleasant regard to its colour, the brasses are effec- rative landscape for an overmantel. There is a
tive in shape, and the design
ranks as characteristic of
Mr. Heal's achievements.
Of good restrained design
is a sideboard in walnut by
Miss Julia Hilliam.
There is a model by Mr.
C. R. Ashbee of some wood
figures coloured and gessoed
in the manner of the 15th-
century reredos and other
carving. It is designed to
stand on a large white wall
surface in some work which
Mr. Ashbee is carrying out
in Hungary. It represents
the Spirit of Modern Hun-
gary. In the Grafton central
gallery hangs the frieze de-
signed for the St. Louis
Exhibition by Mr. Walter
Crane. Such dignified de-
sign as is suitable for the pur-
pose has been instinctively
arrived at by the artist.
Some of Mr. Morton

tions are exhibited; this
year again he successfully
takes the subject of the sea
and the old three-decked
ships as his motive. Mr.
W. J. Neatby exhibits a
gesso panel with a frame of
novel and useful design; he t
has also a smaller painting writing cabinet in designed by ernest w. gimson
