'sThe Art Amateur" for the current
month Marks Montague, New York is one
of the brightest vet issued of this admirable
magazine. All lovers of decorative art
stu iy should possess it. It is doing an
excellent work in elevating art tastes and
resisting the drift towards the extreme in
decoration. Its ceramic, embroidery and
other departments are of the first orders and
its art reviews are concise, fearless and yet
generous. The supplements to the ANA
teur are not the least pleasing feature OF the
monthly. They give the latest and best de-
signs for embroidery, plaque, panel, tile and
other painting.
