cosr OF a Door HANDLE.
LIKELY to He High When One Want.

-
Something Unique.
The aesthetic person who desires a
unique door handle for his favorite
room must pay for the privilege. For
ty, fifty, even seventy-five dollars may
be the cost of the first door handle
made after a new pattern. The metal
Is worth perhaps only few cents, but
the labor comes high. First. the ar
chitect draws the design and submits
it to the manufacturer that is to finish
the handle. He turns 1t over to his
modeler, who makes an exact pattern
OF the handle and lock in clay or plas-
ter. Every line that is fiat in the de-
sign is raised in this pattern, and the
more elaborate and intricate the dec
Grafton the more difficult his work. The
pattern is then given to the man who
makes the mold, or oftener several
molds Joined together, known as gates
These are usually Of plaster. and the
molten metal is poured into them with
out in any way affecting the plaster.
When the metal is cool the handle Is
taken out, thing of beauty and ex-
pense for the architect, the pattern
maker, the mold-maker and the man
who pours In the metal must all be
paid for their work. The first door
handle only is thus costly. When the
mold is once made the price of door
handle decreases according to the num-
ber made, SO that the five hundredth
door handle costs scarcely more than
the metal put into it.-New York Sun.
