HE California branch of the Arts
and Crafts Guild has decided to
hold its next meeting at the
Gaffney building in Sutter street Feb
ruary 5. The address of the evening
will be delivered by Professor a. b.
Clark who has charge of the art de-
partment at stanford university.
The theme chosen for the occasion is
individuality OF Design and it viii
be carried out by few practical illus
trations.
This is the third of the series of
lectures given under the management
of the guild for the purpose Of bring
ing together workers who desire to
profit by an interchange of useful ideas
regarding arts and handicrsfts. The
meetings will be open to the public and
will show the character of work that is
being done in art circles.
Final arrangements will be made at
the reunion on February 5 for the big
exhibition to be given under the aus
pices of the guild in May. This will
be an unusually interesting affair. the
more so as it is to include work from
all quarters of the globe. The arts and
crafts exhibition TO be held in April in
the old Tiffany studios in New York
Is to be sent here in time for the local
display, which in all probability will be
held at the ST. Francis.
AS the exhibition will include speci-
mems of book binding, wood carving.
brass work and design from England.
France. Italy, Russia and various parts
of the United States, the affair will be
worth more than one visit. 1t is to be
the first of the annual exhibitions of
the arts and crafts workers of the
world to be held in this city, among
those who are working directly toward
this end being Miss darcy Cav. presi-
dent of the association on this coast.
Miss Octavia Holden and Miss Taussig.
They are receiving enthusiastic sup
port from local artists and art lovers.
There is some talk of Eugen Neu-
hauA holding large exhibition at
Vickery. Atkins & Torrey's toward
the end of February. In the meantime
there are some half dozen of his can
vases on view, showing his splendid
late work throughout Carmel and
Monterey and across the bay. 1t is
particularly noteworthy for its won

Word has come from London of the
trip that Miss MilIicent Holden is en-
joying. which in all probability will be
; extended into the late summer. After
the Seattle exposition,--at which she
sold almost the entire stock of wood
carving she had on display and carried
off a gold medal. Miss Holden left for
New York, intending to be gone only
a few weeks The present trip has
been the outcome and it may include
number of months study in Paris. ON
her return the Misses Holden will move
into a downtown studio.
At their present quarters in Sacra-
mento street Miss Octavia Holden is at
work on some particularly stunning
book binding orders. The most compre-
hensive of these is a set of II immense
volumes. which she is binding in green
morocco. They comprise great deal
of the early history of San Francisco.

photographs, all bearing on the early
days of the city and it's growth. 1t is
most interesting series. and the illus

add to the charm of the rare and unique
collection The work is particularly
fascinating.
A large bible and a set OF Dobson's
poems are also being given rich bind

known here and her exhibit at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposition won
for her no little fame. 1t was awarded
a gold medal.
