The majority of his exhibits were in gold
and semi-precious stones, and took the
forms of pendants, necklaces, hllets and
the like. They were indeed very beaui-
ful-unquestionably works of art. His
combinations of color, his delicate and
yet very appropriate designs, his handling
of material all bespeak the presence OF
art.
1t will be recall ed that in the days of
the renaissance when art reached It's
greatest height the foremost artists
thought it not beneath them to design
jewelry, and execute it, too. for that mat
ter, or to turn their attention to any or
all the branches of Industrial art, the
making of things of utility beautiful 1t
has only been in this later day that artist
and artisan have been widely separated
To an extent the separation was caused
by the advent of machinery and by de-
crease in popular taste
William Morris started the pendu UNI
swinging in the opposite direction, but
his followers misinterpreted much of his
teaching and, therefore, there has geen
confusion in the mind Of the general pub
lie. Arts and crafts have unhappily
meant to many ciumsiness, IRE ularity,
something less well made than the
product of the machine. This is obvious
ly all wrong, as such craftsmen as Mr..
Hale can prove. Unless handwork is bet
ter done than machine work 1t is of less
value. and it can be better. Some of Mr..
Hale's jewelry Is comparable with the
best done in ancient times and should be

MY BELOVED SOUTH. BY Mrs T. p

MANS Sons
A writer who loves the south steps
right into the heart Of the general local
reader regardless of the literary quality
of any book in hand. For Washington
lives next door to the line we call Mason
and Dixon, and the southland is our
blood kin. The author of the present
work holds another fee-simple claim to
local interest because of the days when
she was the girlish Betty Paschal, whom
Don Piatt socially immortalized with a
tremendous tribute to her beauty and
brains. But the book-as bOok-needs
neither patriotic nor personal support.
Like the brocades of the colonial south.
1T stands alone" 1t is written with
the spontaneous emotions of one who

ROYAL SPAIN OF TODAY. BY Try
phosa Bates Batcheller. New York:
Longmans, Green & Co.
Few American women, even in official
life, have seen as much OF the court life
of Europe as Mrs. Bates Batcheller. She
has been presented formally by Ameri-
can ambassadors at the courts of Eng
land, Germany, Italy. Holland. Austria,
Belgium and Spain, and thus she has an
exceptional point of view from which to
consider old world lands. Following her
this beautifully illustrated and printed
volume on Spain, which is from both an
artistic and a literary point of view the
most satisfactory treatment of the sub
ject of late years. Indeed. no handsomer
volume has been issued from the press
during the present season. and. owing to
the. peculiarly intimate and almost ex-
elusive character Of the illustrations, 1t
acquires a merit that is rarely attained
by travel works. Mrs. Bates Batcheller
