American Woman's Club held a most interesting meeting last Friday afternoon in the rooms of the Royal Asiatic Society, at which two very interesting papers on Chinese porcelains were read. Mrs. H. A. Wilbur, head of the Literary Department, conducted the meeting and introduced the speakers. Mrs. W.S. Ward gave a resume of porcelain making in general and then centred her talk on celadon ware. She told some very interesting things about its age, which is said by some chronic ders to be about 1,950 years, and about its colouring, which is a beautiful shade of sea-green, and about its varied and lengthy his-itary. Mrs. H. K. Wright spoke on blanc-de-chine and showed that she jis a real student of Chinese porcelains and that she has done some exhaustive work on the subject. Examples of the various kinds of porcelain were most kindly loaned by Mr. Charles Kleine and Mr. Koo The subject was covered in detail and many interesting points were brought up to show that everyone can appreciate the beauties of porcelain.
