Enamel Is in Vogue

Enamel is the seasons smartest and most
exclusive fad. The daintiest trinkets of re-
fined gold or silver must be enameled now.
The work is so exquisite In itself that any
one would like it-but the price you pay
to get It makes you shudder.
Enameled ware comes in lovely shades
of green. blue, rose, violet, yellow and white.
There are also pretty nowered effects. II
has a very high luster and comes In dainty
colors, allowing plenty Of variety for any
style Of room.
Smelling salts bottles are smart gifts in
this line. They are octagonal In shape,
sometimes showing an artistic design in
hair lines. The tops of the bottles are
enameled and the salts inside harmonize
with the top of the bottle in color.
Dressing table sets. desk sets. tea sets
and marmalade Jars may also be had in
enamel. They are finished with a high
lacquer, which protects the workmanship
on the articles, making 1t practical as well
as useful.
