A NEW COLLECTING FAD.

There is fad just now for old Shelf
field plate, and most people buy it be-
cause it is fashionable. They are con-
f1dent of its rarity and value, but do
not know just how rare and valuable
1t may be. ConnoisSeurS, on the other
hand, search for pieces of a long past
era whose wealth of plate has dwin-
died to odd pieces here and there, diff
cult to procure and as valuable as they
are rare. Fortunately for these, the
marks on Sheffield plate-after the first
few centuries of it's existence-be-
came so pronounced that they are cas-
lily recognizable, and in addition to the
stamp, certain patterns and designs
are peculiar to certain centuries, and
enable the collector to determine with
certainty the period to which any speci-
men of the Sheffield plate belongs.
The beautiful cups. for instance
which were made in what is known as
the egg and tongue molding, with
bands of engraved foliage, are the
product of Elizabeth's reign. Salvers
of the time of Queen Anne proclaim
themselves by their shape and feet, and
by the abundance of exquisite chasing
wrought upon them in connection with
engraving. George Ill seems to have
had less appreciation of decorative art
than his predecessors, for in his reign
Sheffield trays are plain of marks, dec
Grated only with beaded edges.
Birmingham plate is often confound-
ed with that of Sheffield, and IS prac-
tically the same thing; but the two
may be distinguished by the stamp, the
Birmingham mark being an anchor,
instead of crown set in an octagon-
the Sheffield brand. All old Sheffield
ware is stamped. and us more valuable
than modern silver, although some of it
is alloyed with copper
Collectors complain that secular
Sheffield plate of date earlier than
the reign of Henry VII. is very scarce.
1t is plate of the century beginning
with the reign of Henry VII and end
ing in 1886 which furnishes the side
boards of today with their choicest
specimens. These pieces are, how
ever, not at all numerous, owing to the
destructive influences at work during
the conflict of the Roundheads and
Cavaliers, when owners of beautiful
plate ruthlessly melted it down to OBJ
tain the wherewithal for the conduct
| of the war. But still more destructive
to plate were the requirements of king
and parliament in a subsequent CEN
fury and the proclamation of William
Ill at the end of the seventeenth CEN
fury, Offering premium for hall
| marked silver. Incredible as it ap-
pears, great numbers of people readily
parted with plate of the greatest artis-
tic value, and scarcely less astonishing
is the enormous sacrifice of silverware
| made a century later to satisfy a whim
for splendid dinner services in the
fashion of the day. This destruction
was due to the fact that no new supply
of silver ore was available, such as
had once poured into England from
Spanish American and had furnished
the celebrated silverSmithS of that age
with tons of metal.

gorgeous to behold the richest of vel

with Innings of bTocaded satins, chine

Among the latest importations of
silk for these wraps was noted heavy
ivory white satinswith broche, design

pastel shades, which was truly exqui-
site. The printed chiffon velvets in
which the pompadour rose designs
were in relief were also beautiful, and
the crushed velvets, both printed and
plain, were of soft and lovely quality
and colorings. These of course are all
intended for carriage wear, the deeper
colors in the plain uncut and crushed
velVets the only possible ones for other
USE and in the MORE and panne zibe-

less expensive, wraps, one finds beau

autumn wear are made of white al

running through them. These worn
with any of the lovely coral ornaments
are extremely effective with a black

shown in the autumn fabrics.
Both flowers and fruit are popular
for autumn hats, dull red, dark green,

the vogue. Birds also-doves, parrots

for street and outing hats. Quilts are

1t is not improper for young wom-
an to ask man to call upon her If
she likes him. and he evinces a desire
to do so. II is easier for a girl to have
the matter OF asking men to call upon
her In her own hands, because If any
man she meets can ask her, she is
sometimes placed in very embarrassing
positions. She does not like to say
no. Tact and circumstances have
much to do with these things. If you
choose to say a few pleasant words to
your escort to thank him for a pleas

state are acting as agents of the gov
eminent postofiice bureau in soliciting
printing for the government printing
office from merchants and others in
competition with local printing offices.
This great government of ours raises
its hands in horror and declares it I'M
constitutional and in contradiction of
the principles of commercial liberty to
set up the business of mining coal,
building railroads, manufacturing steel
armor plates for its battleships, or
clothing for its soldiers; yet it sees
nothing out of the way in competing
with the poor country printer, who
does more to maintain patriotism and
