THE LOCKWOOD POTTERY.
let and ennui an enemy in the fascinat.
ing mysteries Of minerals and kiln.
Fifteen thousand square feet Of space
has been secured in the building of Lib
eral Arts. The National association ex-
hibits as an industry, not as a sex.
Specimen work. however, will be sent
to the Women's building.
Chicago is the most active center Of
this cermaic development. 1t has two
fourishing organizations-the Chicago
and the Columbian Ceramic societies.
The annual exhibits of the Chicago
clubs attract artists from all parts Of
the United States. Cincinnati, Philadel-
phia, Boston and New York follow
Chicago in ceramic activity. The finest
china painting is done in Nebraska. 1t
is the hope Of the instigators of the
present movement that purely national
school of ceramic will be the outgrowth
of the national association.
A better president-one who has more
at heart the advancement of the art
than Miss Mclaughlin could hardly have
been chosen. In her beautiful home at
Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, she has her
studio. Exquisite specimens of her skill
in underglaze and overglaze effects, with
etching on copper and various original
metallic conceits in form and color, are
to be seen these days, for Miss McLaugh-
lin is busily preparing for an exhibit Of
her work to be held at Goupil's, in New
York city, in November.
1t was while watching the potters put
blue bands on common yellow clay
fowerpots in pottery in Cincinnati
that Miss Mclaughlin conceived the
idea of securing underglaze effects in
color by mixing dry mineral paints with
the raw clay. This was in 1878, and the
first piece of underglaze decorated pot
terry made in this country is now in Miss
McLaughlin's study-a homely little
blue vase, modelled by pottery worker.
Miss Mclaughlin decorated it in apple
blossoms in bold relief.
The National Ceramic association,
generously supported, will tend to dis
seminate correct and practical infor-
nation. so that many of the disappoint-
ments awaiting those who essay the
work at distance from competent in
struction may be avoided.
A dollar and half covers the men,
ber's initiation fee and annual dues.
With this money the association pro-
poses to publish for distribution among
the members the papers that will be
read at the monthly meetings; lectures
by those conversant with the potter's
art in this and other lands; treatment Of
certain colors peculiar in their working;
valuable hints and suggestions in regard
to the various wares; merits of different
kilns for amateur firing-all given by
experts-will thus reach the remotest
member.
A national ceramic school cannot
fail to be established. With its growth
the necessity of sending American
women abroad to study the fascinating
art will he obviated.

work In which Ten Thousand Amer
lean women Are Engaged.

Ten thousand women are actively en-
gagged in the United States in the model
ing or decoration of pottery. Five thou
sand earn q living by china painting.
The fact that 1000 pottery decorators
dwell in the vicinity Of Chicago led last
February to. the organization in that
city of the National Ceramic association.
Miss Louise Mclaughlin. the discov-
erer of underglaze painting in this coun-

ENADE COSTUME.
ora This would not signify that black
is to be worn at all times, for it is only
for church and for ordinary street wear,
when true ladies wish to appear unob-
trusive in costume.
The headwear for black costumes is a
small capote with very little color, if
any, and plain black sun umbrella, or
hat with wide brim coming to peak
over the forehead and very simply
garnished. Shoes for morning walks
have quite thick soles, and it is optional
whether the toes are pointed or square.
The public taste is divided regarding
wraps, one-half preferring for ordinary
occasions the box coat with its ungrace-
full lines, and the others the jackets with
more or less ornate vests and rolling
collars. Probably both will be worn.
Visiting and reception toilets are very
dainty and pretty. One shown yester-
day was of mode cloth, the front laid
in plaits from the neck down, with
the rest Of the corsage Of cashmere in
shawl pattern, with fringe of the same
kind. There was ruby velvet belt and
collar with bow. The hat was of mode
felt. trimmed with violet velvet and two
mode plunes.
A charming home dress for young
girl was Of slate cashmere, with ruby
colored chenille tufts, belt, and choux of
the same formed the garniture, with the
addition of lace. The lace was arranged
on the corsage like a Figaro jacket.
TIE effect was good. though wrought
out by simple means. Cashmere will
enter largely into all new costumes for
this season.

Epworih League Convention.
The Epworth League convention Of
Hastings District held its, annual
meeting at the N. T.. church in this
city on Monday and Tuesday Of this
week. The delegates began to arrive
early on Monday morning and as the
beam OF the scales weighing their
combined mental and moral worth
went down, tho indicator Of the spirits
Of the local committees went up, as
they thought Of the good things in
store for us. The weather was all that
could be desired. The bright sun.
shine was reflected in brighter smiles
and happier faces Of old and young.
As the meeting progressed enthusi.
asm and interest waxed more Intense.
Miss Anna Randall gave tie id.

pleasant manner. This was respond.
cd by Rev. W. II. Jones, p. T.. q
the district, after which the address
Of tho evening was given by Rev. H.
A. Ewell, president of the District.
His subject was, "Why the Epworth
League is better adapted to our church
than any other young peoples society,""
He spoke app~rcciativly Of other de-
nominational societies, which his ar
guments were most convincing, that
for tho ME-. church none can ap.
proach the Epworth League In their
ability to train and educate tho young.
AT five o'clock the next morning the
early risers gathered at the church for
. SUNRISE prayer meeting.
Later on, the program was taken up
and several able and valuable papers
were presented, bearing on the differ.
ent lines Of work.
Among our distinguished visitors
was B. L. Paipe, NJ. d. Of Lincoln,
who intcspcrsed the exercises Nth
songs rendered in his v pleasing
and inimitsb.e manner.
