Mrs. Annie Loosely possesses a
high degree of technical skill in happy
combination with the instinctive quality
of taste. Her binding, in self-coloured
morocco, of " The History of St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital," by Sir d'Arcy Power,
K.B.E., F.R.C.S., is a typical example of
her work. The Governors of the Hospital
presented this book to the King last year,
on the 800th anniversary of the founding
of the hospital by Rahere. The inlay is
red, white and blue, making a most
effective colour-scheme, and the binding
is hand-tooled throughout, with a very
clean finish in the beautifully bright gold
work. As a member of the Women
Artists' Society and of the Panton Art
Club, Mrs. Loosely has exhibited several
times in London, and is holding a one-
man show of her work this month. a

second place. His aim is to give beautiful
colour schemes in jewellery. Just as a
