before offered in this

Here is a delightful
SD ecime en- of S22.5O
value: A complete dim
ner set of 107 pieces,
with an artistic border
design of black and
shaded gray effect, in
terspersed it h pink
rosebuds. Additional
charm is created by the
faring cups, decorated
on the inside.
One of the S25 sets
has a conventional bor-
der pattern, with mar
row band of gold over
laid with black tracery,
giving a pleasing brown
effect.
Decidedly rich and
handsome-Iooking is a
dinner set at S32, with
its coin-gold band and
line border, and solid
gold handles.
You'll find plenty of
choice of other patterns
and prices. In fact,
every type of decoration
known to the art of
English pottery is rep
resented, from the sim
plest to the most elab-
crate, in prices ranging
