A Service of Worcester.

Toward the end of the century the first
sign of the royal favor was vouchsafed 10
Worcester. George III visited the factories
andunder theimpc tus given by his patronage
the wares of the city advanced so much in
century, it is said, there were few no.
bic families which had not in their
china closets an elaborate service of
Worcester, bearing the family arms aud
motto in appropriate emblaZonmcnt. In
1911 George ", being then prince re gent.
ordered several splendid services of Wor-
cester porcelain to equip his table for the
new social duties entailed by his regency
and one of these alone cost $4,000. In
the museums at the Worcester works there
are specimens OF many beautiful services
designed in accordance with the cOntcm-
porary ideas of pomp and statelincss.
The porcelain artists in those days must
have been well vCrsed in heraldy, for their
chief duties seem TO have be en- the reprOduc-
ton of crests and coats of arms. Some OF
the services have interesting stories. There
is one of deep royal blue, beautifully deco
rated and bearing in the center an en-
blematicaIffgureo of Hope. The story ran that
it was ordered by Nelson for presentation
to the Duke of Cumbe rland and that the
figure OF Hope was really a portrait OF
Lady Hamilton. This, however, was an
error The service was ordered by the duke
himself in the ordinary way, and though
Lord Nelson did order q service of Worcester
porcelain he died before it could be conT-
pleted, and 1t was afterward dispersed. -.

Each carpet is connected toa independent

In such rooms or places where it is not

heaters may be employed. Each of these
heaters consists Of separated carbon bars,
that form one continuous zigZag circuit.
These bars are encased in a simple orna-
mental open-work bracket, adapted to be
hung upon the wall. The carbons are con-
