Ornaments Have Their History /

Under the head OF "mantel' and
chimney" ornaments were classed
in colonial days many rare and
beautiful pieces Of china. Delft
flower holders. East India vases.
and porcelain statuettes were in
cluded in this category.
Cottage" ornaments were Of
humber class and comprised statu-
cites of crude workmanship. houses.
and animals A few collectors
in this country have specialized in
cottage" things with interesting
and surprising results, writes Vir-
ginia Robie in her book. The Quest
Of the Quaint" Staffordshire houses
are ardently sought by one collector.
and her specimens number dozens.
The growing interest in porcelain
and bisque figures as ornaments for
the table has brought the old statu-
cites Of Chelsea, Derby. Bow and
Staffordshire once more into public
notice. Connoisseurs have always
loved these bits Of potter's clay
decked out in elaborate costumes Of
a picturesque age, but a widespread
interest. in comparatively recent.
Whether the present fancy Of deck
ing the table with old and new
china figures will continue remains
for dame fashion 10 say, not a writer
on old china The scheme is not
more incongruous than certain ef-
fects in lace ribbons, and artificial
flowers which enjoyed a brief popu-
larity little while ago. And, If the
figures are really Of interest. they
might be an aid to conversation, or
help out in the table chat between
courses.
The woman who brought back
souvenir spoons from many
corners Of Europe so as TO give her
guests something TO talk about,
might not have been very original,
but she was probably a successful
hostess. And in these days when
comments are not only forgiven but
expected, whether Of rooms. tables.
or gowns. the bay china figures serve
the purpose we'll and are certainly
more worthy Of appreciative ex-
Carnations than many Of the dinner
garnitures of the past
If really old, the china things will
be of value long after the fashion
has faded away. as fade it must.
Moreover, the fad helps the antique
dealers and the old curiosity men,
who have never found the selling Of
colored figures in this country par
ticularly brisk. It may he truth
fully said that these men seldom
have anything very rare or interest
ing 10 offer: that the articles are
usually Staffordshire crockery. not
china, and that really fine speci-
mems do not often leave the old
country, where they are keenly ap-
preciated and eagerly snapped up.
But Staffordshire figures are well
worth seeking, even il made as late
