that makes it peculiarly charming. The
treatment of the leadlines to form a
lozenge diaper upon the sleeve is in-
genious and worthy of attention ; while
the white panes with which the figure
itself is surrounded afford exactly that
effect of plain surface contrasted with
richness, the artistic value whereof has
been already more than once com-
mended in these pages.

For the rest, one large, round-
headed panel (p. 154) and three
smaller designs for a door and ingle
(p. 153), are samples of Messrs. Gas-
toyne's ornamental leading in white,
with sparing use of coloured glass and no
painting. They are confined to forms of
inanimate things, with the exception of
the largest panel, which contains some
heraldic-looking lions.

Not very dissimilar from the last-
mentioned examples are four designs
by Mr. John C. Hall, of the Scottish
Guild of Handicraft. A lunette of
rose pattern (p. 145) and another up-
right oblong panel of the same flowers
(p. 163), as well as a larger composi-
tion of conventionalised floral forms
(p. 157), and another of the same
with a landscape medallion at the top
(p. 157), are all instances of leadwork.
The figures, however, depicted on the
road could scarcely be indicated other-
wise than by painting.
