The applied arts exhibition which closed the last of October seemed most successful from the fact that there was a large representation of the various craft workers and over 900 objects were sold from the exhibition. It was one of the many temporary exhibitions in which a great amount of thought was given to installation details.

The prizes were awarded as follows: the Mrs. Julius Rosenwald prize for textiles to the Mountain Industries of Tryon, North Carolina; the Thomas F. Googerty prize, offered for the first time, to Weinold Reiss for his wood block prints; the Arthur Heun prize to encourage originality and standard in applied art to Lester H. Vaughan for his collection of pewter; the Mrs. Ogden Armour prize for pottery or glassware to the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works; the Mrs. Avery Coonley prizes for woven fabrics to the Flambeau Shops of New York and the Davenports of New Hope, Penn.; the Thomas J. Dee prizes for work in gold to Gertrude Peet and for work in silver to Gion M. Peruzzi and Bradford Holmes Peruzzi; the Mrs. Albert H. Loeb prize for original design in silverware to Old Newbury Crafters; the Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan medal and prizes of $100 were given to the Edgewater Tapestry Looms and to the Pewabic Pottery, medal and $50 to the Greenwich House Pottery. Three stained glass panels made by Charles J. Connick, "Service," a replica of a vestibule window in the chapel of Boston University, and two of the St. Martin series made for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine; and a pewter bowl by Lester H. Vaughan were purchased by the Logan Fund for the permanent collection.

A timely feature of the exhibit is a "Children's Corner," which, with Christmas near at hand, should prove a treasure trove for gift seekers. In it will be found delightful dolls by Edith Flack Ackley of marionette fame, and by Mrs. Robert Conklln, as well as pottery and silver designed especially for children's use the former from the Dedham Pottery the silver by the Chester Siebold Studios and the Old Newbury Crafters.
