The real value of the artist's committee has not been fully tested by many of the clubs, however: the western 'section ia not ashamed aod "It doth not pear vhat it shall be." Mils D. A. Campbell, Vice President Western Section, lancoln, Ne'br.. March 12, 1900. 3 Suit I Bargains! A "man's night" at the biennial is a distinct innovation in woman's club conventions. 'Heretofore what part man has played in. the programs of the bien nial has been confined to addresses of welcome and the like, but at the Mil waukee meeting one session will be held wherein only men will speak, and only men will sing. This novelty ie assured by the agreement of the Milwaukee Maennerchor to sing on Thursday eve n'ing during the biennial and by the shifting of the program which puts Dr. George II. Krlehn of Chicago on the program for that night instead of for the afternoon of the same day, as was originally announced. Dr. Kriehn, who is a Ph. D. from Strasburg university and an authority on municipal art, is to be one of the chiet speakers of the' bien nial. Not a woman will appear on the platform except to introduce' the speak ers. The art committee, owing to this change in dates, will really have three evening sessions, as it is planning to keep open house at the public library on Monday evening preceding the con vention. Singers are engaged, and Miss Mabel Messenger, a well known harpist of Chicago, will play not only on that evening but on every day while the rooms are open. Wednesday evening the program on sculpture will be an nounced. All year books, badges, pic tures of club buildings and general club ed the last Dieting of this department Friday enjoyed a rare treat. Mrs. Brock and Miss Rogera had charge of this meeting. Mrp. Brock's subject was "Decoration in Porcelain" and was charmingly given. Twenty-live years ago ceramic art was to women practic- yet ap- ally unknown, for apart from those who may have been employed in subordinate positions in factories, few if any had ex plored the field. Today the exhibits shown of amateurs and professionals show what heights the art has reached. The principal potters all over the coun try have become interested in the man ufacture of artistic porcelains. There is a united effort toward the cultivation of a truly American school of ceramic art. The actual imitation of any exlet ist artist or manufactory should be avoided, though in the reach for orig inality, beauty and fitness should not be sacrificed. In the decoration of a vase the grouping must reveal the character istics of the form and, if necessary, con ceal a weakness. Rookwood ware ia very beautiful, with its well chosen dec orations, its rich and subdued coloribgs. A great contrast to this Rookwofd is the Royal Copenhagen porcelain. jFhis differs essentially from the other in that it is pure porcelain, while the Rookwood is pottery. The subject was illustrated with many beautiful ceramics. Miss Rogers then spoke on ''Decoration- in Pottery." Some one accidentally dis covered that moistened clay when moulded with the hands retains 3be form which pressure has given it. If unmixed it contracts in drying and falls to pieces, but by adding a certain amount of sand the difficulty is ovfer- M come, .me uisues iuub maue are nor ous aud will no't hold water, and it wits to counteract this that the Greeks ajcfd Romans gave the ware a coating of wix or similar substance.

The subject for the afternoon was Beethoven and was presented in the form of a piano recital by Mrs. Henry P. Eames, who played or sang the following com positions: Sonata E flat opus 7, Molto allegro con brio; Largo Rondo. Sonata C minor, opus 13, Grave-Molto allegro Adagio Rondo. Songs "The Minstrel's Ghost," "The Minstrel Boy," "Nature's Adoration." Sonata D minor, opus 13, No. 2, Al legro Adagio Allegretto. Ices were terved at the close of the pleasant informal recital, by Miss Young, assisted by Mrs. Eames. This department has been very enthusiastic and has done much profitable work the past year. Sincere regrets were ex pressed by the members that the year's work had come to a close. The members of the art department of the Lincoln Woman's club who attecd- 00000OOMOHOMOI in 1520. Stoneware was made in Eu rope at an early date. The great aim of English potters has been to make and perfect a pure white earthenware. Wedgwood introduced the cream-colored ware, called queensware, which is still largely used. Of all the English potters Wedgwood was without doubt the greatest. He invented eight or nine different kinds of ware, the most noted being queensware, the jasper or Wedgwood, and the black basalt, which he himself liked best of all; the Royal Worcester, Crown Derby, Menton, Coal port, Coapland and Doulton are all from English potters. Every piece of Royal Worcester is stamped, registered and numbered. The French porcelains were described. The Limoges or Haviland china, with which we are all so familiar, the beautiful Sevres, which commands very high prices and is quite beyond the means of ordinary purchasers. The marks of this factory are various; at the present time the porcelain bears the monogram "F. R.'' French Republic. The famous Dresden china of Germany, the beautiful oriental pottery of Hun gary and the exquisite Delft ware of Holland were described.
