"A salesman, selling hand
painted china ware, was in town
last Thursday, and gave private
exhibition Of his stock in the
Clarence house. A local jeweler
|spoke the other evening Of the man
ner in which people buy hand
painted china. The design and
harmony of color seem to be first
considered, rather than the natural
ness of the flower in it's rightful

distinguishable only byits contour,
scarcely ever by its coloring. The
poppy, a most popular design, il

purchasing the line, seem forgetful
Of the real beauty of naturalnoss Of
a design and desire coloring, in it
