THE PASSING OF HOUSEHOLD
SILVER.
"
Long though its other uses are likely to continue, says The Tours, silver is losing its former popularity as a material el ornament for the good reason that. there is no one: to keep it clean. Wired labour is too costly to be employed, by Any but the most; fortunate, in polishing without end, and gabmissive daughters, willing to spend the greater part of their lives with plate-powder, hrash, and chamois leather, now, like Lincalu in the play." belong to the
Though we dare not regret the polishers' fatiaueipa- tion, it is perhaps, pardonable, before the last silver salt-cellar is banished from "the dinner tables of England to look back pon the old display and to remeinher its comfortable shining. It stood or seoma now to have stood for a condition of life that, having endured through many changes of fashion and form, is now de Bnitely departed for vast families of a dezen or more who have disappeared with the tureen that fed them for heïvie swillers whose ghosts now yink over the edge of a quart pot at those who sip bottled her out of glasses; and for prim hitle maidens perched on Trafalgar chairs who would have cried their eyes out if ter had been required to drink from any- thing less magnificent than their own christening-ms With the decay of Vic- torian prosperity, silver may have grown thinner, but its tradition, was bravely maintained. The grand-daughters of the Trainlgar ladies liked their hair-brushes to glitter with the heads of Sir Joshua's angels; their prayer-books and "hymin hooks were hound in perilous filigree: they put by brackets (between a couple of Japanese faray on which the heroes of South Africa were. immortalizel in silver statuettes; and their dressing- tables were gay with a hundred trinkets that shone again every Wednesday; and perhaps every Satardas, morning. Yes further progress of democracy carried silver into the humblest homes" where aftemated vales, conspiciously hall-ark cd,gave gentility to the wall-flower and distinction to the pan.
A NEW ELEG.LVCE.
All are gone; or will soon, he going, The kingly tureen, which by reason of its extreme weight, James had so much dißculty in carrying with appropriate nonchalance, has gone with James; his pickled calves will support that burdent no more. The vase, the statuette, and the filigree prayer-book have been thrown to the dealers. Even the rose-bowl, which in its rich flutings used to refret the sur rounding dush of mahogany and distort, like a mocking-glass, the features of our hungry ancestors, is withdrawn into tissuo paper and diedains to have converse with stainless steel. We are all turning to substitutes, and, the uniformity of silver being gone, we reveal ourselves in our choice of them. James the Younger, in those houses which still can find a place for him is busy with cut-glass, silver's most exquisite understudy. Others rely upan porcelain, or charming pieces of pseudo-majolica collected on their travels: others, of a more revolutionary temper. have at a bound gone back to the cottage -or at least to the cottage-ten-room-and provide food and flowers and water in delightfully simple. receptacles closely resembling a flower-pot. Crstairs in my Indy's room, everything that was once bound in silver is now marvellously adorn- ed with pink grapes and magenta pome granates in satin. Everywhere the spell of silver is being lifted. No more shall enndles gutter in gleaming branches or oceans gather in a turcen. We are grown at once practical and elegant, with a new elegance. Henceforth, by electric light. we shall nibble an olive from an earthen- ware saucer and now and then visit a museum or a university to see what a tankard was like.
CHARACTER IN HANDSILAKES,
How many pepole realize that in the mere" pressure of their handshakes their! characters may be sunimed up admirably? Every person shakes hands differently. There is the person who extends in a very gingerly manner a scanty couple of fingers and withdraws them at the earliest opportunity. He is a precisa person who counts the consequences of every step before taking it, for him the proverb Look before you leap! has no uge he always does. Then we have the hail-fellow well-met handshaker. who spicezes, a friend's hard for five minutes on end. talking volably the while, H nung, be quite unaware of his preuliarity because it is natural to him. Ajolly man this, of good intentions and pressing in- vitations Easygoing he may be, int ho is not lazy. Your aching arm will testify to that Next comes the flabby, 'hand- shake, chili and clammy-a thing of horror and cold shiverings; giving the im. pression of an encounter with a jelly fish, and it seems to signify a rebuff. This might well be deemed significant of the weak willed individual.
