NOTHING BETTER THAN CHINA
Most Effective Decoration That Can
Be Devised for Walls Of Dining
Room.

The prettiest dining-room walls are
those decorated with china, instead OF
pictures. for this treatment gives dis.
tinction from any other room Pieces
selected for the walls must. of neces-
sity, be striking, either in color or
shape. preferably both They may be
large or small, for. odd though 1t may
seem, there is no difficulty in attach
ing even a heavy piece securely.
Plate racks around the walls are
familiar and yet they grow tiresome.
But unless the reach of wooden shelf
is made too long they can be most
attractive,
An arrangement that is useful II
placed between two windows consists
of shelf l5 inches at its widest, in
the middle, narrowing down to six
inches, and then one at either corner.
The swep thus made gives plenty of
room for holding a large salad bowl.
Ten inches below is another shelf.

rail two inches wide placed around
the edge holds the dishes In place.
For hanging plates there are light

Brass hooks hold cups by the handles
If plates or platters are placed upright
on shelves It is most important that
they should be secured from slipping
either by narrow strips OF wood tackled
about two inches from the back, the
plates being put behind these, or by
grooves in the shelf
China selected for decorative pur

cially suited to walls. so intense and
satisfactory is the blue.
Another not uncommon Chinese
ware in which the china Is covered
with figures and landscapes. done in
many colors. is among the best that
can be selected for the purpose.

China, like pictures. must be
chosen and placed with discretion. in
order that NO inharmonious effects

CHANGES IN TABLE SILVER
Knife Handles Of Ivory and Mother Of
Pearl No Longer Seen-Lavsh
Display Frowned On.

All of the latest knives and forks
have handles of silver. which has en-
tirely superseded the white handles
OF ivory and mother of pearl. The
silver is found to be more substantial
and is less likely to be spoiled or
broken by constant use. Silver plat
ters also take precedence over the
ones of china for the serving of all
meats, poultry and fish, as they hold
the heat better and insure the serv-.
ing of these courses piping hot. a
thing not possible with china.
1t is not customary abroad to place
half dozen knives and forks of va
rious designs, some for fish and some
for fowl and some for no one ifiows
what. alongside the plates before a
dinner is tegun. But for each course
as it is removed the waiter brings
the tools" for the next Not only is
this bit OF show done away with, but
II is considered bad taste to spread
out an array of silverware before
your guests, an act which appears
rather parvenu. as though the object
OF a feast were to make an exhibition
OF wealth. 1t is taken for granted
by ones guests that there is plenty
OF silver to go round.
