Buttons.

1t is ouly in comparatively modern
times that buttons have been util-
lied as fasteners. The Greeks and
Romans knew nothing of them and
though they presented themselves as
ornaments in the fourteenth century
buttonholes were still an undreamed
of possibility. 1t was not until near
ly the middle Of the eighteenth CEN
tury that the manufacture of steel
buttons was entered upon at the
Soho works in Birmingham, Eng
land, Then on the accession OF
George III the gilt buttons appeared
and became quite the vogue. But it
was reserved for the artisans of our
day to make these useful fasteners
in the greatest variety at marvel
ously low prices and out of all sorts
of material even to the seemingly i'm
possible potato.
