America is rapidly making a name
for itself among the ceramic manufac-
turers Of the world. Within the year
there has been produced at Monaco, Pa,
beautiful and artistic ware that Is
worthy Of high place among modern
ceramics. It is called Voilenden, a
German word meaning final. The dec
orations are entirely under glaze and
original IN design. The ware has all
the appearance Of iustrous porcelain
when It is fashioned into vases and
the bodies Of lamps. but It is in reality
Opaque glass. So far, the most exquis-
ite specimens are found in lamps and
globes.
The chief charm OF Vollenden is It's
great diversity Of design and color.
Every lamp has an accompanying
shade following the same motive. Many
OF the designs are unique; others are
essentially Egyptian. Roman ana
Greek. No duplicates are made and
each piece S painted By the hand Of a
skilled artist A number q the most
artistic ap mens were aeefated by
the suaye japanese artist 041oo FOUL
Be Is versatile, and produces flowers.
birds. FISH and oriental designs. One
Of his best enGrts is a blue and white
lamp, embellished with fish. His drag
ons are wonderful creatures. his how-
ers are beautifully drawn and colored.
The charming floral designs that
grace examples Of the ware are from
the palettes OF the artists Albert N.
Parlow and William H. Morley. Mr.
Morley's orchids are lovely. There IS
a great novelty in the shapes produced
By this factory and they are for the
most part well-balanced compositions.
The soft yellows, browns and greens
are excellent, the reds strong and har-
monious. It is surprising that there is
in this comparatively new pottery so
little crudity.

THE BOY AND HIS roy SHIP.

One day a tiny craft was seen
Sailing away with sails stretched
wide
How pleasant was the mornings sheen.
How peaceful was the wind and tide.
Over the sun-lit bay # sped,
into the reach Of oceans arms;
Green underneath, blue overhead,
Lent an its beauty and its charms.
On gentle waves II rose and fell.
It's silver shrouds unstained and free;
Waving a welcome and farewell
To shore and sky and smiling sea.
SAIL on, fair ship, though you are small.
Although each channel and each
strait:
Sail strongly through each raging
squall;
Sail on, sail on, 10 ports Of fate!
Ny little man, thus you must sail,
Midst caDes Of life's yicissitudes;
Meeting at times a gust or gale.
Like as a ship on brlny floods.
