characteristics Of some Of the styles

From the New York sun: Most OF
the plain meerschaum pipes sold now
adays are OF practically the same styles
as briar pipes. and finished and mount
ed In the same manner OF the once
familiar meerschaum, that was sub
stantially a moerschnum bowl with
short upturnod stem part. into when
a wolchsel stemplece was inserted
comparatively few are now sold. Many
OF the meerschaum pipes Of today are
OF the bulldog pattern. and many are
made likewise straight-stemmed, but
with bowls In various rounded FORMS
and there are brlar-shaped pipes with
droop stems. The mountings are sill
yer or gold bands, or ferrules. around
the stem part, where the pit or mouth
piece Is attached. and. on some pipes
mounting around the top OF the bowl.
In these pipe mountlngs those pro-
duced by Americans excel all others in
suitability and design. With their pro-
duction in modern styles and In forms
adapting them 10 the most convenient
and advantageous use has come an In
creased demand for pipes OF meer-
schaum. Such are the pipes usually
bought by the American or English
man. who. II he smokes a meersehaum.
wants n stout. stock sorylccable pipe.
There are sold. however. some mcer-
schaums that are modelled more on clay
pipe lines. with the stem part and
mouthplece little n any longer but
very much slonderer and lighter than
those parts OF the pipes more COM
monty sold. The Frenchman who
smokes a moerschaum wants n long
and slender pipe, ms also does the
Italian. The plain meerschaum pipe
made for the French or italian smoker
Ia In design substantially like a clay
pipe. with bowl OF the same general
shape. though OF finer lines. and with
the same long. slender stem. But
made OF such material as meerschaum
and beautifully finished. and with a
long. slender. delicate mouthpioce OF
amber. there Is no danger OF the pipe
being mistaken for a clay pipe. These
slender meerschaum pipes are made.
some OF them. with the stem fash
Toned to present n twist in appear
ance. but most OF them are made with
the stem straight and smooth. They
are made. including the amber bit or
mouthplecc. in various lengths. the
price Of the pipe depending on the
length. and as with other moerschaums
on the quality. Such pipes have been
made thlrty-six inches in lenrth.
Pipes Of from eight to twelve inches in
length are the pipes OF this kind most
commonly sold.
