dull green leather with a simple geometrical pat-
tern of squares and circles, is one of the best of
many good book covers at the Arts and Crafts
Exhibition. Another interesting cover by Mr. de
Sauty is “The Enemies of Books.” Mr. Douglas
Cockerell’s design in red and gold for the cover of
the Etonians’ Roll of Honour gives an impression
of stately formality that is in keeping with the
dignity and size of the volume ; and the cover in
brown morocco by Miss Katherine Adams of the
“ Pseudoxia Epidemica ” has an unostentatious
charm that appeals to the book-lover. Sir Edward
Sullivan, in his green cover for the “ Life of Boling-
broke,” and Miss Gwladys Edwards, in the gold
and grey binding for Mrs. Browning’s Sonnets, are
more individual than most of the designers ; but
the boldest of them all is Miss Sybil Pye, who, in
“ The Race of Leaves ” and “ Cupid and Psyche,”
makes determined effort to break away from con-
ventional patterns. Mrs. Noble’s blue leather
prayer book, with a design of formal branches and
foliage embroidered by Miss Jessie Bayes is a fine
piece of colour.
