pattern is shown
in isometric view, with shadows indicated where it will add to the
cleanness of the cut, and upon the opposite page the profile of the
brick is shown at half full size. This portion of the catalogue
is rendered much more useful than it would otherwise be, by the
classification which has been adopted. By this means it is easy to
find most any shape desired.
The choice of the patterns themselves deserves the highest
commendation.

The forthcoming number of _The Architectural Review_ (Vol. IV, No. 1)
will include several noteworthy features. The plates are of the same
class of subjects which has given the paper its present high standing.
The four gelatine plates are devoted to illustrating Messrs. Cram,
Wentworth & Goodhue's design for the Public Library to be erected in
Fall River, Mass. The two remaining line plates are devoted to the
Bowery Bank building in New York by Messrs. McKim, Mead & White. The
principal article in the text portion of the number is a sketch of a
trip across England from Liverpool to London by Wilson Eyre, Jr.

incomparable sketches give the article a more than common interest.

features of English and French domestic work, no one has shown a
closer sympathy or been able in his sketches to render more of its
charm than Mr. Eyre.

The "P.D's."
(_Continued from page 123_.) [Transcriber's Note: issue 8]
And speaking of costumes reminds me of some very successful ones, and
particularly that of a Highlander, the whole of which was made on
the spot from the club's "props" and was complete even to a practical
bagpipe, which was composed of three tin horns, a penny whistle, a
piece of burlap, and a rubber tobacco pouch. Both in tone and looks it
was an exceedingly good imitation of the genuine article.
One of the things that has afforded the P.D.'s a great deal of
amusement is a supposititious newspaper, wherein the members are
interviewed on any and all occasions and many interesting things
brought to light. In one of them, for instance, Ictinus confide
