through life without adequate tools and
appliances, compelling her to resort to
the much-maligned hairpin. 1t is to
the credit of womankind however,
that the bottle holding and draining
rack illustrated herewith is the recent
patent of woman of Washington
This nursery accessory consists of a
shallow trough having a bottom, ON
which bottles may be supported in an
upright position, and a series Of pro-
jections to support bottles in an in
verted position for draining. Smaller
projections offer convenient means of
disposlng Of the nipples and hooks are
provided for the bottle cleaning brush,
funnel, etc. While a simple arrange
ment in itself, it affords definite place
for the nursery bottles and their ac-
cessories, and accordingly plays an i'm
portant role in the household that Is
very disproportionate to the expense

THREE.s1pEp HAMPER.

One of the most useful things that
one can have in house is a three
sided hamper for soiled clothes. 1t is
much more satisfactory that the or
binary round or four-slded hamper. as
it occupies less space, besides being
more slightly in appearance. 1t is
strongly built Of heavy withes woven
in and out and twisted around strong
supports at the corners, and the front
is rounded, thus giving more room in
side, without making any appreciabIe
difference in the amount of floor space
occupied. The top fits snugly and the
hinges are serviceable and strong, as
are also the handles, which are formed
of rings securely attached Utica OBJ

huge yellow roses, was made still more
charming by curtains Of organdie in

worth studying and adapting to other

A FELLOWS MOTHER.

"a fellows mother" said Fred, the wise,
With his rosy cheeks and his merry eyes,
Knows what to do if fellow gets hurs
BY thnmp or bruise or a fall in the dirt
a fellows mother has bags and strings,
Rags and buttons, and lots Of things;
No matter how busy she is, she'll stop
To sec how well you can spin your top.
She does not care-not much, mean,
# fellows face is not. always clean;
And if your trousers are torn at the knee
She can put on patch that you'd never
see.
:. A fellows mother is never mad,
But only sorry if you are bad;
And tell you this, if you're only true.
She'll always forgive you, whate'er YOU do.
I'm sure of this said Fred, the wise,
With a manly look in his laughing eyes,
III mind my mother, quick, every day;
a fellows a baby that don't obey"

On the day they left the cottage
Katharine came and gathered Ger
trude in her arms "You dear
preciousp' she murmured. Il hate aw-
fully to leave you. But you're going to
have delightful sprise some day,
when the summer girl comes back"
1t was not Gertrude, however, but
the summer girl herself who had the
greatest ts'prise."
The very first week in vacation the
carriage stopped at the gate again, and
Phyllis looked anxiously up to the
yeranda railing, while Papa Graham
unlocked the door.
There was no trace Of Flora Louise,
what can have become of herr"
thought Phyllis, as she went slowly
up the steps.
But the first sight that met her eyes
as she walked into the sitting room
was Flora Louise herself, gorgeous in
new gown, and seated on cunning
little bedstead just right for her!
Pinned to her dress was little note,
which read:
Dear Summer Girl The agent told
us you live in this cottage every sum-
mer, SO / know you will be glad to
get your dolly again. We love her,
too. One of us climbed out the window
and got her and made her bedstead,
and the other took care Of her and
made her new clothes. We didn't
know her right name, but we have
called her Gertrude. We hope you'll
have good time with her this sum-
mer. Lovingly,

TO the council house In remembrance Of some

In his possession was given to the council house,
or sum of money was left to procure one; on
the occasion of a visit from a prince pieces were
given and received. For drinking healths
stately goblet was Indispensable. and for festal
occasions splendid buffets were erected. All the
momentous events in the history CT the city
were represented by goblcts. If a religious al
lance was concluded the occurrence appeared
upon goblet, and ecclesiastical representations,
such as the pedigree Ct the Virgin Mary. orna-
mented secular drinking vessels.
The go5lot IS the principal piece of plate. and
almost the only one which is preserved i'm any
collection except that of Ltneburg. Here one
finds also comdt dishes, tankards in the shape
of lions, and other dishes and cups of many
kinds.
In the Harvard collection are also choice rep
Iesentatives of Nuremberg art, with that OF the
famous Master Wenzel Jamnitzer, whose i'm
peraI goblet was lent by the Emperor; of Hans
Petzold. with nautilus goblet belonging to the
King of Wurtemberg; Augsburg offers the Metz

The custom of shaping drinking vessels IN the
form of animals is shown in the leaping bull Of
Frankfurt; the human figure is made use Of In
the housewives cups" of Vienna and Nuren-
berg.
Besides the municipal plate and that Of the
guilds are added the stores Of burgher families.
An example of these is the cup presented by the
city of Wittcnberg to DR.. Martin Luther as a
marriage gift.
In the seventeenth century the Thirty Years
War exerted o powerful influence upon the sill
versEuiths' art in Germany. The custom Of
drinking from SCbIets was done away with, and
glasses appeared in the place Of silver vessels.
At the end of the seventeenth century the power
and wealth of the princeIy families had in
creased, ana great quantities of silver were ac-
quiFed IS treasure for time Of need. Whole sets
Of furniture were manufactured in silver. To
adoTn the buffets the fundamental forms OF the
older examples of plate were retained but in
monumental proportions. An illustration of
this in the Harvard collection is the enormous
Pilgrims flask of the silver buffet of the royal
palace in Berlin.
Besides this secular silver plate. which be
longs essentially to the sixteenth century. and
includes only a few OUtrUnneTs into later times
there are some examples of ecclesiastical plate
especially chalices. which have the fundamental
forms of the later burgner silver.
In this way the collection which has been
presented to the Germanic Museum gives
