Decoration OF Dresden China.

Flowers, lace and fret-work are fire.
quent decoration of groups, vases, and
ornamental pieces. Flowers are gener-
ally formed with free hand, and it is
most interesting and curious to watch
the dexterous operation. Every little
leaf and stamen must be separately fash
ioned, and afterward united. In fact,
almost all the fancy work is done by
hand, ploddingly and painfully, and
often in sitting atmosphere A woman
sits at table with a lump Of kneaded
clay, very much like piece Of dough,
at her side. Near her are few little
knives, syringe for squirting a thread
of semi-liquid clay, and, perhaps, asnrall
form for cutting given pattern--the
implements being not unlike those used
by pastry cooks. BY the aid Of these
simple tools, series Of china fawers, or
fruits, or vines are slowly formed, and
tastefully disposed upon vase, for in
stance. China lace and wells are also
usually made Dy women. Inc process
is truly marvellous, requiring no end Of
patience and the utmost delicacy Of
touch. A pot Of liquid clay-paste and a
small steel style are all that the woman
needs for her work. With these she
tediously spends her time, dipping the
style into the pot and letting tiny drop
fall upon given spot, then another,
and so on. drop by drop, each of which
solidifies almost instantly in the dry
choking atmosphere Of the room, until
the fine threads and minute meshes OF
the lace grow visible under her patient
operations. Wells are made by covering
fine tulle with the fluid "mass, and
draping this, while it is still moist, upon
the figure. -,Scribner.
