Room No. 5O7 please was the phrase
which the elevator boy in the new Power &
Keefe block heard most frequently yester-
day. It proceeded from continuous pro-
cession of art loving femininity on its way
to visit the array of beautiful china put on
exhibition by Mrs. S. S. Frackelton, the
rived in Helena last Wednesday,.
Room 5O7 and an adjoining room are
both lined with shelves and tables loaded
with novel and various specimens of china.
Many of the pieces have the Royal Worces-
ter finish upon them and the designs
sketched in ready to begin work immedi-
ately. There are specialties in encrusted gold
and metal work, pieces in gouache, Royal
Worcester and Doulton for study, graceful
iardinieres, ewers and dainty ornaments for
bric-a-brac. Among novel dishes is an
asparagus or corn course, and commend
able style of bread and butter plate. There
are biscuit jars soiree cups and after din
ner coffees, the latter in varied and unique
designs of fairy-like lightness and form.
An imported sample of plate with a border
of buttercups and daisies in relief and 9TH
ers with what is styled pierced borders or
lace-edged are shown. A third room con-
tains the gas kiln which Mrs. +. invented.

favorable impression which the author of
