People interested In decorative
arts and antiques will enjoy the
exhibition of recent accessions at
the OAR Museum, to remain on
view throughout the summer. Such
an exhibition is. held annually to
acquaint the public with the gifts
which are made to the museum in
steady stream. objects of many
kinds are now shown; next autumn
they will be stored according to
categories,
The District of Columbia won
this year the annual Blue Ribbon
Award for the State doing most
for the museum. Washingtonians
gave 100 gifts and a contribution
to the museum fund. Most Of the
chinaware on view was bequest
of Miss Catherine Scott Hills, who
was a member of the Margaret
Whitten Chapter, NSDAR, OF this
city. Nodded TASKS from Mrs. Will
liam McGlauf1in and Mrs. Benja-
min Catchings of Washington are
part of another group of interest
from both historic and decorative
arts standpoints.
Gifts from nonmembers of the
OAR are just as welcome as those
from women affiliated with the
society. Mrs. Stephen Bonsal of
Washington, who is not member,
made more than 40 gifts of minia-
ture> furniture, glass, china and
toys. Among the last mentioned
is a doll which belonged to the wife
of President John Quincy Adams.
Another outstanding gift from Mrs.
Bonsal is a childrens spatterware
tea set in bright, simple colors. This
spatter, sponged or stippleware was
once common on the Eastern sea-
board, and was made for the Penn
sylvania Dutch" market about
1830-50.
English China
The English alave been noted
since the 18th century for their
fine chinaware. An outstanding ex-
hibit in the OAR Museum is an
English china tea set, beautifully
proportioned, low and firm on its
feet, with gray bands and gold dec
oration on a white base. 1t is part
of 79-piece set which was brought
to this country in a sailing vessel
by young woman who was a bride
in 1912. incidentally, her knitted
silk wedding stockings are also on
view, as well as an exquisite little
cap she made for her first child,
born in 1873.
Some of the finest china on view
is Oriental Export ware, part of
Miss Hills bequest. 1t Is white with
orange and gold decoration and lit
tie medallion scenes. Commonly
called "Lowestoft," this ware was
made in China, using English pat
terms.
Good examples of luster and trans
fer ware are shown. There are three
types of luster-copper or brown,
gold or purple and silver. Wedg-
wood was experimenting with luster
in 1776, and that produced in the
late 18th century was very fine.
Copper luster was the cornmonest,
and is still manufactured, but mod
ern examples are usually markedly
inferior to the old luster. OF course
the finest lusters are those which
were made in Italy and Spain some
centuries before the English and
American wares.
The potters OF Staffordshire be-
gan early in the 18th century, to
make inexpensive chinaware for
American housewives. Without ran
cor, the English potters commemo-
rated events in American history
which represented British defeats.
As a matter of fact, some Of the
finest china offered during the
George Washington Bicentennial in
1882 was made in England. The
father Of his country" was de-
picted in numerous situations, in

Salvaged Paper Pays
For Gym Equipment
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Mile Metcalfe, II.


Toward the end of our school
year we had paper salvage drive.
In our room, each row competed
against the others. The row that
brought in the most paper was to be
guests at a party that we were
planning. The other people planned,
got and served the refreshments,
which were soda pop, cookies and
apples. While the rest of the room
planned these things, the row that
had won had recess.
Our room collected more than
1000 pounds of paper, which was
more than the rest of the school
together. The contest aroused much
interest, as each pupil tried to beat
the other fellow. The money raised
by sale of the paper was used to buy
gym euuipment.
