GOOD FORM IN CHINA.

Elegant Simplicity Is tho Keynote OF All
Table Appointments Today.
Never have good taste and good form
been in closer accord than in the prevailing
styles of china and glass which the best
city stores show. Simple lines and forms
are always the most pleasing and graceful,
and The Decorator and Furnisher afirms
that fashion for once has consented to fol-
low the dictates of artistic teaching Ac-
cording to this authority there is an entire
absence of grotesque or eccentric lines IN
the molding of the varied dishes of the
complete services. The colorings are, for
the most part, very delicate, and the de-
signs in the decorations are characterized
by great reserve of ornamentation rather
shan by the lavish abundance which has
been so prevalent in past years.
For regular family use or for use on state
occasions, where the means are moderate,
there can be nothing more correct than
set of white English china with decora-
ton in printed monotone. Dull blue is the
most effective coloring in such a design,
which merely borders each dish, leaving the
centers and sides untouched. No mono
grams or initials are admissible.
White and gold is quite as popular and
equally as tasteful as in the days of oul
grandmothers' best gold banded set. But
the gliding is not put on in plain bands and

sorts Of delicate stencil patterns and trac

ness. In the elaborate patterns the finish
of the gliding is generally dull in tone
Sometimes, the decoration in dull gold is
daintily picked out with delicate tracery in
black, and less frequently other colors are
sparingly used in the borders. giving a
touch like that of jewels.
But, however elaborate the designs in
gliding may be, they are rarely allowed any
where except as borders upon the dishes
and in ornamentation of the handles. In
deed few dishes which have for decorations
printed monotones, gilded design or color
bands have any decorations in the centers
of the plates or platter or sides of covered
dishes. Overdecoration has been recognized
as inartistic and has had its day.
