If YOU ever received a bonbOnniere.

plate in pewter for a gift, consider
yourself unusually blessed Pewter is
the rage in Paris, just now, and every
conceivable knick- -knack that has ever
been made up in silver has now been
reproduced in pewter. The most de-
sirable pieces are modelled to show the
fleur-de-lis of the Bourbons or the
graceful wreaths and hanging baskets
OF flowers trimmed with the double Ls
of Louis Quinze. A French correspon'
dent writes that in France this rage
for pewter is little short OF madness,
that fashionable women are hanging
the side walls of their dining rooms
with all sorts of rare and beautiful
pewter mugs and with shelves decor
ated with odd pewter plates. There
is also great fad for figures in pew
ter. modelled from life or the antique.
and at the last Paris Salon a pewter
figure, known as THE Creole created
profound sensation. The figure was
modelled from life. and was charm.
ingly sympathetic bit. Since this hg'
ure appeared number Of titled Wom-
en- have been modelled In pewter. The
results have been very satisfactory, as
the material is soft and pliable. the soft
grayness adding wonderfully to the
artistic results. To keep pewter clean
It should be rubbed with chamois once
in two or three weeks.

that he was talking about dried oys-

opening the lid Of a big box, he took
out a handful Of what looked exactly
like oysters carved In mahogany. They
were not shriveled and warped, like
other dried foods. but were as plump
and symmetrical as any well-condi-
toned bivalve fresh from the deep
sea. The only difference was that
they were dark brown in color and as
hard as bricks. When Lee Zip tossed
