the window display, which is arrang-
ed in a most effective manner by Mrs.

pieces are the three from the Rock
wood pottery at Cincinnati, which
were made especially for this exhibit
ton by their Japanese artist. One is
a bird study, one plum blossoms and

signs are a tiny bit in relief With

especially notable being a lockwood
lamp. Another group is of Satsuma
and cloissone, loaned by Mrs. Richard
