DO You Know That $3.50
Or $40 Will Buy a Pretty
Porcelain Dinner Set ,

From England has just come a porcelain set with a conven.
tional border decoration in an under glaze blue--a deep blue
which somehow seems specially adapted for summer homes and
small dining rooms. There are 100 pieces in the set-and 100
pieces at $40 is only an average cost of l0c a piece.
American porcelain sets start even lower. Unless you walk
down the south side of the WanamakerC China Gallery, you can
hardly realize what good-looking sets can be had for $50. Three
designs; one Of grapes in green, with touches of faint blue, another
of pink carnations, a third a border of garlands of pink roses. The
shape is perfectly plain and the hundred piecesinclude soup turen,
three vegetable dishes, meat platters, and so on.
Another American set at $40 has a conventional design i q
pleasantly restful green and brown combination. Copied from IN
expensive design, this set also numbers 100 pieces.
Another American potter distinguishes himself by a $40 set q
100 pieces, which is decorated with narrow bands ofmaroon
green or blue, with a line of gold, or with plain bands of gold only.
The shape is perfectly plain and the porcelain is so good that every
other American potter wonders how this maker can possibly keep
his mandatory open and sell such fine ware at such low prices.
Besides, this Half Yearly China Sale still offers a few of those
exceptionally low priced Pouyat dinner sets and also a variety of
Theodore Haviland French china dinner sets exquisitely decorated
with tiny pink flowers.
Many Of these will look at home in city houses, but all of
them will be apropos of summe home informality.
