burner by a flexible tubing, like that
used in drop lights, and, as it is well
finished in polished nickel, with an or
namental framework upon which the
saucepan may rest, it is as decorative
as the usual chafing dish. The high
burner prevents all danger of scorchlng
table or cloth, while the use of gas is
certainly more convenient than that OF
alcohol It's service, however, has not
yet superseded to any extent the spirit
lamp chafing-d dish dear to the heart OF
the amateur cook. Another gas utens1l
that all housekeepers may not know of
is a poultry-singer. This is easily at
tached, by tubing, to any burner and
as it burns a blue flame, there is no de-
posit upon the fowl, and no smell left
after the singeing process is completed.

than burning paper, and is said to be as
efficient as any method employed for
this service.

Golf designs are creeping into articles
of costly and artistic workmanship. A
beautiful silver ink-stand is fashioned
TO represent a golf-hole, with its cup
shaped sides. In the center of the hole
lies the ball in perfect silver facsimile,
the top opening to disclose the ink-well.
The depressions around the edge are
excellently simulated, and afford good
rests for pens; the spaces between being
beautifully decorated in relief with
golf implements. Match-safes and ci-
gar holders Of heavy silver are also well
finished in golf designs. Loving cups,
jars, and bottles of pottery are tinted
in delicate green tones and decorated
with link scenes. They are silver

was secured with dado and frieze

where it was got wholesale, was OF
