Beilefonte, Pa., October 23, 1908. A National bdociety Craftsmen. Sach names as Arts and Crafts Society, Craftemen Ciab aod Handicraft Guild, which ten years ago sounded new and strange,are now well known throaghout the United States, as hardly a town or village exists today without numbering among its inbabitants, at least a few enthusiastic persons who are either enthusiastic creators or copyists of some form of band work. Often this work takes very orude unfinish- ed forms but again the real craftsman spirit is exhibited, and if the opportunity pres- ents itself, buds and blossoms into some- thing guise worth while. The work that is being done throughont the country by those who choose to style themselves Craftsmen, may be seen pictured from time to time in the various home or craftsmen magazines, in illustrations of metal work, jewelry, pottery, wood carv- ing, leather work, hook binding,embroidery, stenciling, and lace-makiog. In all of our larger cities this movement bas been felt and into many towns and homes a new in- terest has been brought into life. By this movement new life and impetas has been given to much work that was previously feeble and indifferent, by the stimulus which comes thrungh comparieon and com- petition and the inspiration of contact with she finer work of professional craftsmen and masters. The constantly growing in- terest in hand work shown by the general publio is another reason for the stimaula- sion, and in some oities, the growth, not only in the enthusiasm of the wo:ker, bat in the quality of the work exhibited, is most encouraging. Most of our large cities have for some years past had their yearly arts and oralts exhibitions, showing a constantly growing standard of excellence in technique, beauty and originality. Notable among these Guilds is one thas bas been in existence in Boston, for ten years. This Guild has struggled to establish itself, and now gain- ed a tirm footing, and has not only done much towards educating the public taste in the appreciation of hand work, but has been able to foster the demand for sach work because of the standards is is aiming to maintain. As stated in a recent artiole written about this Gaild, the receipt of sales made from members’ work trhough the Guild, daring one year, were most in- teresting and encouraging, the work of one of its members amounting to over six thous- and dollars during thas year. Oar great Eastern Metropolis has been far behind all other cities in this respeot, as there has never been a sufficient amount of interest shown among the oraftsmen to establish a society upon a firm basis, al- though one or two trials bave been made. A little more than a year ago, in the oity of New York, a movement was started under the patronage of the well known and long established National Arte Club, so that today, still under the patronage of the same olub and under its roof, the National Society of Craftsmen has its permanent ex- hibition and sales rooms at 119 East 19th street. The second annual exhibition of this club has just drawn to a very success. ful close, as shown by the thousands of people who visited it daring the twenty days of this opening, aud of the number of sales made. The National Arts Clab very generously opened its large galleries for this exhibition and have assisted in every way possible to make ita success. That the exhibition proved itself to be most in- teresting and attractive has been shown by the fact that many people oared to visit it more than once. The galleries were most skillfully and attractively arranged con- sidering the material and with very few ex- oeptions the work was shown to the best possible advantage. In addition to the modern work a few cases of beautiful old works of art were shown, of pewter, hrass, wood, embroidery, and jewelry, which served to make this, in a certain sense, a comparative exhibition. Owing to the national character of this society, the work exhibited was by no means that of local craftsmen, but was sent from various parts of the United States. Among work that aroused much inter- est was that of the jewelry workers, sixty- three in number, who showed about three hundred examples of their work, many of which were excellent in workmanship and : second was red design. Thie work included rings, brace- lets, buckles, necklaces, pendants, brooches and stick pins, in she making of which, | silver, gold, brass or copper had been used, | together with stones of various styles and colors, with often very quaint and pleas- ing effects. Silver was the metal most generally used. Forty-nine metal workers displayed va- rious pieces of hammered metal, notable among which were berry and punch bowls, without decoration, hut beautiful in shape, also bowls for varions purposes, of silver or copper, boxes, spoons of various styles, cas- seroles, chafing dishes, tea service, howls and pitchers, ete. Some enameled articles ! in gold and color were displayed among the metal ware sach as hoxes, trays, and pioture frames. [Iu this brief summary, it is hardly possible to give any idea of the one hundred and forty-five exhibits enter- ed under this head. The seventeen exhibitors of ceramics, bad a most interesting display. In this line of work the simple conventional treat- ment of design with the introduction of a few flat color tones, was most pleasing and interesting and in marked contrast to the work of a few years ago where the natural- istio treatment in form and color predomi- nated. Very pleasing effects were obtain- ed by a simple hut skilful arrangement of two tones or color in pleasing shapes. Where fiowers were treated at all natural- ly, they were simplified, either by the use of very flat tones or by the use of very much grayed but harmonious coloring. Several of these workers had evidently studied with enthusiasm, Chinese, Persian, and Indian flower design and had adapted them most succesfully to their pieces of china, in several cases with excellent re- sults. An individual lunch set of ten pieces, in a Nile green with a conventional design in silver, was very pleasing. This set rested upon an oak tray that had been stained a silvery green, makinga very com- plese finish, all @ Josiesy, ered another inter- esting feature of this exhibition, there be- ing seventeen exhibitors displaying about one hundred and seventy-five pieces of tery. Several groups of pottery known potters were displayed such as the Newcomb from Newcomb College, gray blue in its general coloring, usually in two or three tones with decorations in semi- conventional designs, of rose, iris, corn, carnations, eto. Aleo the Volkmar pottery with its matt glaze effect, mostly green in coloring, with simple leaf enfolding decora- tion, or, as in the oase of one large vase, the motive was a favorite of Mr. Volkmar by well being a characteristic flight of wild duoks. shown uila in finish to Joe Valk, strong in while gracefu sugges tive in a, One flowerlike dish was exceedingly pleasing in form and col- or. A group of Grueby tiles were very pleasing in their soft pale blue and cream coloring, the decoration of which was in a conventional rather stencil like treatment. The Baggs Handicraft shops showed a very pleasing group of pottery in dull soft greens and browns, tans and blues, under glaze colors, simple in form and decoration. The Merkbam pottery with its rough sur- face and metallic coloring, was undecorat- ed as far as design was concerned, bus the quality of ite surface, together with the coloring, was most suggestive of trees, fetus, seaweed, eto. The Alsop-Robinean ware was beautiful in color, the texture be- ing either smooth or rough and the design very suggestive but rather indefinite. Is would bardiy be possible to mention the various kinds of weaving exhibited, for of old styles of weaving rugs, but in modern colorings and simple designs, many ex- amples were shown by individuals as well as by Handicraft Societies ; such as the Greenwich Handiorafs School, the Blind School, of Cleveland, and the Vermons Handicrafs Association. In addition to rags, were woven scarfs, portieres and bed covers, some of which were copies of old blue and white designs, such as a table equare called “‘Lee’s Sarrender,” woven in indigo old blue, also another called the *‘Pine Bloom’ carried out in indigo blae, green, and white, most pleasing and exocel- lent in workmanship as well as design. The Deerfield Society of bine and white needlework,showed some examples of their embroidery. Two very pleasing examples of hooked-in rugs were shown, these were made of dyed flannel, and were called the **Ouvia” rugs. One had an all over design | in green and blue aod the other in green, | wine and white. Mrs. Douglas Volk showed a beautiful Sabatos rag, of a soft bluish gray green in two tones with a dull white. This bad a conventional border and center, rather oriental in feeling. The variety in the color of the ground was most pleasing. This rug was made entirely of wool that had been hand spun, the body of the rag also being hand woven, through which was drawn and knotted wool yarn thas had been band spun and vegetable dyed. The pile of this rag was rich and deep without mak- ing the rug clumsy. This rug measured about three by six feet and was valued at In the line of tapestry weavir:s the most remarkable and beautiful wor. had been designed by Madam Frida Koebler- Hansen of Cbristiania, Norway, and woven under ber supervision. This was styled picture weaving, one representing the flight of the goddesses to the southward, leaving the cold Norseland. Another represented the entrance into Constantinople by “The Nor- wegian King Sigard the ‘*Crusader.”” The first was beautiful in its soft coloring of dall blues, pink, tan, avd orange, and the in its scheme. The ma- terials used in the making of these tapes- tries were band carded, home spun, and vegetable dyed yarns. The weaving of gold threads into the design was a decora- tive featare and gave a somewhat trans- parent effect, The embroideries exbibited were mostly simple and direct in design, showing the usual table covers, scarfs, draperies, eto. Some examples of stencil work were shown, also baskets of raffia, some examples very good in shape and color. The laces shown were of various styles, such ae the Honiton, Irish, Carrickmacross, Pillow, Duchess, Point, and Rennaissance. The wood carving exhibit was interests. ing, showing one hundred and thirty carved pieces, among which were frames, mirrors, trays, book racks, ohaire, and several elah- orately carved chests and a desk. With this work were shown three decorative and appropriately decorated screens, swo of which were carved, one of the two being gilded, the third in the Mission style, and each baviog painted canvas panels with landscape motives most appropriate in treatment. Varions articles in leather were shown such as bags, cases, covers, and mats, while among the more serivns leather work were hand bound, decorated, and tooled hooks in antique as well as modern style. Beside all the above mentioned work, were examples of monotypes, wood outs, desigos, illominating, book plates. and color prints, these last being by one person, Japanese in subjeot and treatment, and in some instances quite beautiful, Still another iine of decorative work was seen in examples of leaded glass panels, electric and candle shades of glass and shells, and table ware of glaes with decora- tions in color. Viewed from the financial side the exhi- bition was a success, as each day showed many sales, and in addition, a number of visitors expressed their desire to become members of the society. If one is public spirited and wishes to see the society succeed, he may become an associate member by paying the yearly dues of ten dollars, but if he is a worker and wishes the benefis of a sales room, by submitting his work, baving it acoepsed, aud paying the yearly dues of five dollars, he not only bas the benefit of the sales rooms, but of various exhibitions and leo- tares along the lines of oraft and art work. The members have a room where they en- tertain informally on certain days, and meet their friends and those interested in the movement. When sales are made for members an additional charge is made, of 15 per cent. ; to non-members the charge is 25 percent. For those who are interested throughout the country in craft work this society is quite worth joining, for there is not a day in the entire year when people from all states and countries are cot enter- ing our great city, and as our reputation grows, it will extend, and our National So- ciety of Craftsmen, will become a society of which New York may be ad.—By Adeline G. Wykes, in Shop Tk There is a certain languid, dull feeling which overtakes an energetic man some times. He wonders what can be the matter with him. He bas no ambition. He loses interest even in his bueiness. In such a case the man usually stirs up his liver with the first pill or potion which comes con- venient to his band. But stirring up is not what he needs. He needs building up. Unoconscionsly he has put into his work more strength each day than conld he made up by each day’s food and each day’s sleep. pot- | So that with every day there's an increas. ing overdraft against his account in the Bank of Health. That overdraft has to be made good before the man will recover his strength and energy. The use of Dr. Pieroe’s Golden Medical Discovery gives marvelons results in such oases of *‘run- down’’ health. It contains no alcohol. It is not a whisky medicine. It strengthens the stomach, cleanses the blood, inereasing the quantity and richness of the vital laid. It nourishes the nerves and gives a healthy appetite and sound refreshing sleep. Several examples of Hoagland pottery were A rine Dodger. Carol's grandfather had served in the war. and Carol liked to hear of the many battles in which he had fought. One day after listening to the vivid re- cital of many heroic deeds Carol said: “Grandfather. you went through ali those battles?’ “Yes.” “And the around you?" “Yes. “And soldiers were falling and dying everywhere?" “Yeon ' “Well. grandfather, what a fine dodger von must have been!” —Delinea- tor, shot and shell fell al!

Naturally many pills are put on the market that are simply made to meet the requirements of those to whom any pill is a pill, and one pill as good as another.
