November 19. At Christie's. Modern German Pic-
The beautiful harmony of colouring to be found
in the wings of butterflies and moths may be
especially recommended to the young student of
decorative art. Some of the daintily mounted
examples prepared by Messrs. Shelley W. Denton
& Co. should be in every art school and designer's
studio.
The makers of the well-known Waterman
" Ideal" Fountain Pens have submitted one of
them to us for examination and trial. Among
other admirable features, one is that the "feed"
by which the ink is conveyed to the nib does not
permit of more than a sufficient quantity passing
while being used. In general construction this
instrument, which has been awarded a Grand Prix
at the Milan Exhibition, is, we believe, as nearly
perfect as it is possible to make it, and being now
made in many choice designs as well as plain, may
be commended to those who desire to present
their friends with an article at once useful and
handsome.
The Wellington " Slow Contact Plates " have,
in our hands, given good results for lantern slide-
making. They are of the " Gaslight" variety, and,
as their name implies, are for contact work only.
The slides we obtained on them are bright and
clear, and we found it easy to obtain e:ther black,
sepia or reddish tones.
