Hot Teapot Handles.
In the smart little art shops,
which somehow or other seem to
flourish ,prosperously because they
are so full of original and interest
ing things that one simply cannot
resist, are some new and fascinating
contraptions designed to protect
milady's hand from hot teapot han
dies.
One of these affairs i. a yellow
felt canary-or one might call it an
oriole, perhaps bonny bird, any
way, cut out of the felt in two lay
ers, with a double layer of thin
cotton batting between, and the
outer sides decorated cleverly with
dashes and dots of black ink in
bird markings. The bird appears
to be poised on the edge of the tea
pot, but the hot handle is hidden
away "in his little inside" and one
grasps him firmly, but deity, to
lift the, teapot and pour out the tea.

and then turns over several times,
waking himself each time.-Louis-
