An ingenious woman ahas evolved a
pretty lamp from an old-fashioned silver
caster. The cruetf stand was unscrewed
from the base and the frame for the bot
ties taken out. 1t was then easy to fit
a glass oil receiver in it. With a shade,
chimney and burner got at lamp store,
the prettiest of silver boudoir lamps
was evolved. These old casters have
often been turne into fern dishes or
flower holders. Some of them are of a
shape to make pretty nut dishes if the
centre rod is removed. 1t is noticeable
in he shops where antiques are sold,
that the old fashioned silver cake bask-
cts, even the plated ones, are highly es-
teemed as bits of bric-a-brae. This is
especially true of the latter when the
plating is done OF copper, as it often
was. The silver is then rubbed off and
the duh red of the copper shines through
with fine effect. Such command a good
price.
