seen from time to time at many of the local
exhibitions. _
The art of embroidering is extensively practised
here, and no one brings greater charm of
execution to it than Verona T. W. Smith. Her
design is always striking, but its chief merit lies in
the skill with which the colours are blended, the
foundation and pattern forming a harmony at once
complete and pleasing. This is a strong point
with artists of the Glasgow School, as frequenters
of exhibitions know ; in applied art it is particu-
larly marked. Miss Smith does not confine her

attention to needle-work; enamelling has great
attractions for her, and she has drawn many fine
examples from the kiln.
In the ever-widening circle of artistic workers in
Glasgow, Miss De C. Lewthwaite Dewar takes a
deservedly high position; her work showing
imaginative charm and executive ability. She is a
native of Ceylon and her portfolio contains a strik-
ing series of sketches of that sunny island; her
studio is rich in water-colour and illuminated draw-
ings, beaten metal work, enamelling, engraving,
dainty work in jewellery—for which the fingers
of a woman seem specially fashioned, and book
illustration, to which Miss Dewar brings a wide
culture and a full devotion that ensures alike
interest and success. The triptych here illus-
trated is a striking example of the artist’s method ;
