Knowing and Collecting
Dutch Delft
Continued from page one.)

continued nom page one.)
Delft often did so and in consequence its
enamelIed surface came to be glazed to pre-
vent this.
|, Then one often finds the colors of the
decoration of old Dutch Delft to have run,
but neither under nor over the enamel sur
fact, -into the enamel. This is because the
colors were put upon the Dutch Delft while
the enamel was still wet and fixed in during
the liquefaction and fixing of the surface
coating during the firing of the piece in the
kiln. With such pieces of English delft as
show the colors of their decoration to have
run, it will be seen distinctly that these
colors have run upon the enamel of the sur
face and not into or with it.
Finally the color of the clay body base of
the Lambeth delft of England is buff.
While Nature has given US a sense of
blue skies, scientists will tell you that she
has been overly sparing with this color in
flowers and in bird-life. The Chinese had
long placed blue as the first of the five col
ors nominated in their popular traditions.
To blue they gave a symbolism rich and
varied. They associated it with the East,
for instance, and again with wood. 1t was
natural that it should have been a favorlte
color for the Chinese keramicist. The
palace china of some of the early Chinese
emperors reserved the privilege of blue deco
ration, blue, as an old Chinese writer
tells US, as "seen through a rift in the
clouds after rain 1t was not until the
10th century that the Chinese obtained CO.
bait. This bright and vivid blue made
speedy Roadway as against the grayer blues
that, until then, had alone been produced
by the Chinese keramic artists. Cobalt was
introduced into China by either the Jesuits
or the Mohammedans; the Chinese them
selves named the color ''Moslem Blue
The Blue-and- White porcelain of China
appears to have made direct appeal to the
Dutch potters. Blue was the earliest color
used by them in their Delft decoration.
Purple followed, and after that the green,
yellow, brown and red of the Polychrone
delft pieces that we know
We do know how popular the Dutch
Blue-a and White became. Every year
quantities of it found their way to England.
Much of it was sold there at the Dutch fair
held annually in Yarmouth. King Charles
II, soon came to fear the effect on local
potteries of the extended importation of
Dutch delft into England and in consequence
issued a proclamation against this COM
merce, declaring the sale of Dutch delft in
England as being 'fto the great discourage
ment of so useful a manufacture so late
found out" at home, presumably by the
potters of Lambeth who naturally would not
be slow in attempting to initiate the Dutch
ware so fourishingly in vogue. Probably
Dutch potters had come over to work int he
English ateliers. In the British museum
are interesting examples of English delft, a
particularly interesting set of plates having
a line on each, so that when the six are ar
ranged In properorder they form little

And made friend sincere.

Full many budding flower.

Would bless life's darkest hour.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the peoples grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved; and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high!
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples grow
In Flanders fields.

In Flanders fields the cannon boom
And ftful flashes light the gloom
While up above, like eagles fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky:
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder thanthe poppy bloom
In Flanders fields.
Sleep on, we brave. The shrieking shell
The quaking trench, the startled yell
The fury of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is we'll.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
To keep faith, to fight it through
To crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.

To American and British
Soldiers

lon the occasion of the recent dedication of a
monument at Princeton to the American and
British soldiers who died there and were buried
in the same trench.
Here Freedom stood, by slaughtered friend
and foe,
And, ere the wrath paled or that sunset
died,
Looked through the ages: then with eyes
aglow,
Laid them, to wait that future, side by side.
Now lamp-lit gardens in the blue dust shine
Through dogwood red and white
And round the gray quadrangles, line by line
The windows fill with light,
Where Princeton calls to Oxford, tower to
tower, =.
Twin lanthorns of the law,
And those cream white magnolia boughs
embower
The halls of old Nassau.
The dark bronze tigers crouch on either side
Where red-coats used to pass,
And round the bird-loved house where
Mercer died
And violets dusk the grass,
By Stony Brook that ran so red of old,
But sings of friendship now,
To feed the old enemy's harvest fifty-fold
The green earth takes the plough.
Through this May night if one great ghost
should stray
With deep remembering eyes,
Where that old meadow of battle smiles away
Its blood stained memories,
If Washington should walk, where friend
and foe
Sleep and forget the past,
Be sure his unquenched heart would leap to
Their hosts are Joined at last.
Be sure he walks, in shadowy buff and blue,
Where those dim lilacs wave,
He bends his head to bless, as dreams come
The promise of that grave,
Then with a vaster hope than thought can
SCdus
Touching his ancient sword,
Pray for that mlghtier realm of God in man,
'Hasten Thy Kingdom, Lord.
Land of our hope, land of the singing stars
Type of the world to be,
The vision of world set free from wars
Takes life, takes form, from Thee,
Where all the jarring nations of this earth,
Beneath the all blessing sun,
Bring the new music of mankind to birth,
And make the whole world one.''
And those old comrades rise around him
there,
Old foemen. side by side,
With eyes like stars upon the brave night
air,
And young as when they died,
To hear your bells, o beautiful Princeton
towers,
Ring for the worlds release.
They see you, piercing like gray swords
through flowers,
And smile from hearts at peace.

After an interesting trip via the Burton

Canyon of the Colorado, ''the most beau

famous comedian of the Legitimate of
ante bellum days, appeared on the screen in
Poor S;hmaltz," four-reel Famous
Players production. While the play in its
entirety is laugh producer, some of it, no
doubt, is cold stuff" that Mr.. Bernard used
in the days when he was in the legitimate.
In the first act, for instance, the attempts to
be funny were so ridiculously lame that if
the object of the gyrations was to produce
mirth the audience failed to perceive it. In
the second act, however, Mr.. Bernard warm
ed up to his work and by the fairly good
comedy presented thereafter was readily for
given his failure in the first act.
The inmates look forward with as much
anticipation to the musical program as they
