A Fine Ger annie DISPLAY.

MISS Alice vi man has lately return
ed from San Francisco, after spending
second six months there in careful
and int Iligent study of ceramic decora-
tion. That she made good use of her
opportunities is evidenced by the artis-
tic display she is making of the results
of her h4pdi-wOrk, and which has
brought many admirers of the art to
her north Santa Fe street residence
within the last week.
A HERALD reporter called at Miss
Ullman's this noon, and like many
others was much impressed by the ex-
hibltiOn of beautifully decorated China
ware. The display was tastefully ar
ranged on the dining room table where
it could be viewed to the best advan-
tage. There were one and half dozen
dishes in the berry set. On each
dish is painted a different kind of berry
including mulberries, straw berries,
buckle berries, raspberries, cherries,
currants, ETC., all IN natural colors,
and with leaves peculiar to each kind
of fruit at; ached. Then there is fiji
set of one and half dozen plares.
These are all in varied designs, mostly
in shell fish set off with a sea weed and
varied forms of sea fauna all in natural
colors and remarka ably true to nature.
This group especially showed that the
closest attention had been paid to de-
tail, fact made more patent by the use
Of maInifying class.
TT ere are seven re ish dishes rich in
ornamentatiOn with roses of several
varieties, geraniums, California pop
pies, clover, clemantis, narcissus, etc.
The coloring is very rich AID warm in
tone and the grouping and shading are
such as to give the flowers more in bas
relief and lend the more attractive to
their already we'll marked beauty.
Then there are four cake plates whose
style OF decoration is in chrysanthe-
musm, California peoples, roses, migno-
nettes, viOlets and other charming flow
ers. All the dishes have borders de.
corated in rainbow colors with effects
heightened by cold bands of varying
wild tbs, and with scroll work ornamen-
tatiops.
A beer mug is an unique specimen in
light lumber, with a monk thereon en-
joying a quiet drink of the fluid OF
Gambrimus. Then there are orna
mental plaques of different sizes on
which are painted miniature portraits
of noted historical characters with a
fineness of execution aud truthfulness
to nature indicative of high order OF
talent in the artist. There is also a
loving cup with three handles. the
decoration being a lovely female figure
aud chry santhemum celebrations.
There is cracke- jar with an edging
in delicate nile green tints and peach
blow shades below: a tea strainer and
rest in colOrs, tea cups of the most
delicate pattern and chasteness of
decoration in blue and green and cream
and cold: puff box whereon are
Cupids remarkably we'll executed and
posed. Moreover, there ara a dozen
tiny ard delicate salt dips, ja-diuiere
highly decorated in we'll mattel ed
shades, and lovely pitcher besring
pink chrysanthemums of such exqui
site beauty and naturalness that one
could easily sit and study it for some
time w tn profit to the sense and APP
p eciAtion Of beauty.
Miss Ullman is naturally proud of
her work; SO are her many friends, and
she already has promising class in the
study of this beautiful art.
