Silver Fads and Fancies.

Glass cracker jars with waving rings and
silver covers are new.
There is no end to the enameled salt eel
lars in silver gilt and the tea strainers with
enameled borders.
Spoons with enameled bowls do not seem
fitting. They are, however, interesting.
Much attention is being shown to ink
bottles and perfume bottles. These are of
cut glass, massive size and boldly cut and
have silver tops.
Pancake lifters are highly polished and
without ornament.
Spoons have shell edges, and silver gilt
seems to be especially prominent.
The newest bedroom silver candlesticks
are low, with square bases.
