A short time ago there was fad for rose
isrs. Now it il crazs. Everybody has
ii, In some drawing rooms they are elab-
crate and costly, in less p etentious apart
ments they are handsome and effective, and
Ia still humber apartments they are pretty.
The aroma of the rose leaves with which
they are filled adds pleasant perfume to
the room. They are employed, not only
in parlors and reception rooms, but In my
lady's boudoir, and in some cases each room
in the house has one. So popular haze they
become that form Of jar worship now
prevails. At ladies' toaG the latest designs
are discussed and raved about, and every
new acquisition is hailed with delight.
This history Of tho evolution Of the rose
jar is quite romantic, and reaches back
some distance into the past. The rose jar
proper was in the shape of an Urn, and
originated with the Turks centuries ago.
They were usually made Of lead, and were
one Of the indispensable adjuncts of the
harem. The old palaces Of the Oriental
countries were without windaws. and the
rconas were inclossd by rough walls which
were covered with various colored b ingingy.
These apartments were decorated most
sumptuously, and the atmosphere was
rendered delightful to the senses by per-
fumes emitted from urns containing rose
leaves. Their use extended throughout
Turkey and Persia and even to India,
where they are still employed. The tea
ara Of Japan, which have been applied to
the Turkish use as receptacles for rose
leaves, had their origin with the e.
tsblishmeut Of secret society called the
Chs-no-you, about 400 years ago. This TO-
ciety was strong political power for many
years, and, as cover 10 the real purpose
Of meeting, tea drinking was indulged in,
and tea jars employed. These jars we're
used to hold tea leaves and were made Of
china and porcelain. The best skill of
the country was applied to making fanci- |
ful designs. The customs Of the society |
we're handed down from generation to gem
Grafton, until they have be-
come matters of history. Thus the rose |
jar Of to-day is Q combina, ION Of the rose
uTn of the aRcient forks and the tea jar
of the Japanese. They arc being imported |
in large quantities, and the demand for
them which started in this city is spread
ing all over the country. Small cans con-
taiDg \ small potcouri Of rose leaves and
spices are KEEP. for filing the jars. Some
ladies, however, prefer to fill the jars with
rose leaSes isom their own gardens or con-
seryat0ries. The craze ia confined to
America at present, but is expected to ex-
tend to Europe by next summer.
