covers and cushions are also inspired by forms of
nature, and show peculiar elasticity and decorative
grace. She can translate any mood of nature : the
veiled moon, spring blossoming, autumn sunsets
and calmness of the snow by wonderfully impres-
sionistic stitches and applications. With them she
can also relate fancies and fairy-tales on wall
hangings and tiny objects. Japanese art has had a
certain influence, but she has quite an individual
talent and will do much for a rather sterile domain.
She has lately finished the wall-hanging which we
reproduce. It is a picture of evening calm in
softest grey and greenish shades. J. J.
ART SCHOOL NOTES.
LONDON.—The meetings of the Inter-
national Art Congress brought together
experts in art education from almost every
country, and the discussions that followed
the reading of some of the papers were of great value
and interest. The Congress was fortunate in its
president. No one could have filled the chair
better than Lord Carlisle, who is a painter, and in
sympathy with every form of art, and he acquitted
himself as well as possible of the ungrateful task of
apologising to the foreign delegates for the absence
from the Congress of any representative of the
Government. Nearly forty foreign governments
were represented officially, and many of them paid
the expenses of their delegates, but our Treasury

London Committee was about ,£5,000, and it was
announced at the last meeting that a considerable
proportion of this sum had still to be raised.
Mr. William Nicholson has joined the teaching
staff of the London School of Art, which already
numbers in its ranks Mr. J. M. Swan, R.A., Mr.
Frank Brangwyn, A.R.A., and Mr. Niels M. Lund,

There are few art schools that can boast a staff
of such eminence, and this gave an exceptional
