Hwaeo?-^r> Among: the commission* hehas to execute \u25a0:\u25a0; for the residence ofMrs. Anita Baldwin McClaughry nearSanta Anita are the furniture anddecorations for the billiard room. The ,:designs are based upon ; the . ornamentof the Southern Alaska Indians end]consist of rude' carvings ;to which colorsare applied and into which pieces ofbone and T shell jare set. -Mr.i Dixon hasco inpi eted 1his drawing's and |is now atwork on the actual execution of thetdesigns. The various J articles comprisea billiard table, small table, chairs,bench, newel post, balustrades, etaThere are also electric fixtures andstencil designs for walls and curtains.

* * *THE exhibition of students' workat the California School of Arts

m£zMand Crafts in . Berkeley is of anastonishing evenness and excellence.An actual | preponderance of good workrutfe through all the many departments.In each of these there are not one or(two, but several students whose workis conspicuously good. l From the pro-fessional manner of certain members ofthe advanced class ;in painting ,| to thedesigns for wood block printed paper,which is quite in the spirit of Bassanojdecoration; from the interesting free-dom and painter's technique of themembers of the girls' life to thework lin the elements %of design, me-chanical drawing and historic orna-ment, there is evidence not only of pro-ificiency, but of enthusiasm for thework. The exhibition isifdistinctly en-joyable in spite of the fact that it rep-resents Ithe work of; students \isaSg

He is anetcher as well as a painter and expectsto produce some color etchings of sub-jects around : Monterey, where he willspend the summer.

* * cinvases thatTHE occasional canvases thatCharles Dlckman has had on ex-hibition at the Bohemian club

make one wish that he will not allowanother season to pass without holdingan exhibition of his work. Such an ex-hibition, representing as it would theartist's fresher'and happier manner of-dealing with color, would \u25a0: do much 1;toIncrease] his already high artistic«-? . ". . . , iV4wgE
