the end of the room. It enables one to realise very
acutely the dignity of the programme which has
held the Society together in its pursuit of decoration
of whatever kind. No other exhibition has any-
thing to challenge the visitor's thought like this
sudden transition from precious and gentle arts to
the art of sculpture itself. The Harvest, by Mr.
Bertram Pegram, with its sense of full and power-
ful decoration, hanging at the extreme end of the
galleries, does certainly bring the whole exhibition
to a very dignified conclusion, when, having
traversed all parts of it, we arrive at that end.
There are, however, many things in the galleries
which we have not touched upon. Apart from the
cases of books and jewels in the centre, and the
pieces of furniture, etc., ranged close to the wall,
there are many objects placed about in various
parts of the galleries, some of which claim to be
considered with the more important of the exhibits.
Such, for instance, is the fire-screen (see p. 132)
by Mr. W. Reynolds-Stephens, which shows a
refined piece of metal-work, carried out with
pleasure in its quiet design and perfect fitting.
A plaster panel is exhibited of the carvings
made by Mr. Oliver Wheatley for an organ-case
(pp. 131-2); and their unique fancifulness remains, instrument a character of its own, and, at the
at the same time, suitable in symbolism for the same time, are of real artistic value. In our former
decoration of an organ : they must give the article we had insufficient space to complete our
reference to the textiles. The tapestries,
1 Hedge-nook and The Dunkeld, designed
by Mr. Cecil Millar, are pleasant alike
in design and in colour; his design for
linen, The Birds and Fruit, simplifies
itself to a well understood convention.
A beautiful piece of handwoven and
applique linen, executed with extreme
skill, is from a design by Mr. L. Vezey
Fitzgerald. Mr. Edmund Hunter's
tapestry curtain, Vine and Pelican,
demands close attention. Two designs,
marked f and g, among the printed
cottons of Mr. Lewi's F. Day, are of
the eminent designer's best. Calling for
especial notice amongst embroideries is
the delicate forget-me-not embroidered
linen dress for a child by Miss Elaine
T. Lessore ; it is difficult to remember
a design of more charm in its way. An
unfinished pattern by Mrs. Walter Cave
claims attention, and the designs ex-
hibited by Mr. F. Vigers and the Misses
R. Vigers and M. Symonds are of much
interest.
