'ion, THE rolling pin is q very useful aui-
NAL. From away down the echoinp corri-
dois OF time, since our prehistoric grand
mothers kneaded their delectable mixtures of
cracked corn and water with their feet, on
the HAT surface OF a stone, the rolling pin
has held an important place In the household
ou,ht. And it has had other uses. As a
female persuader, in those little domestic
Jars which are said to creep into the best reg
ulated families, it stands upon equal footing
| with the Hat iron and stove poker. Though
| useful, it was never before though, ornament.

THE TRADESNAS EXPLAINS
"Why is there slch stock OF rolling pins
display ed this season ?" asked u reporter of a
psrlor hard ware dealer yesterday. "Do you
expect n wholesale run on the matrimonial
market and are laying in stock of house.
keeping goods2"
The young man with the summer nous
tache and his hair parted in the middle,
looked tired as he leveled his scoruful,
though lsnguid op ic on the reporter, and re-
piled:
They are not weally and truly rolling
pins, don't you know. They are Tor orna-
ments."
Then the young man went on to tell that
the rolling pin was the newest dodge among
ladies who do fancy work. The rolling pins,
plain and without ornamenta,ion, are pur-
chased by young ladies who formerly spent
their time doing the "W hats Home Without
a Mother-in-Law" act, on card board. They
cover them with plnsb, fasten tasseled cord
to each handle and hang them sg.inst the
""i' n bhll u' ecu sLuhll DIh5s HOOKS are
set along in the pin and the affair makes a
very neat and pretty key rack or "bongle
board, as it is more commonly called. A
set tf these decorated with harmonious colors
of plush and ribbons were presented by hrs
Harry Hauk for the German recently danced
at the Arcade hotel, and made by far the
haDdsomest favors there. Some times
brightly polished brass chain is used instead
OF cord. Flowers and vines in all shades
are embroidered in silk upon the plush
Some times the wood is covered with silk and
hand-painted with impossible landscapes and
improbable faces. The uses to which the
decorated pins are put are numerous, and
some families with large number Of young
ladies buy them as they do chewing gum, by
eeord. pretty design is to use the roll
ing pins as a roller from which to suspend a
