invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in candle sticks, which consists of a base
formed in the shape of a lady's trimmed winter hat turned up at the back to receive
a handle to imitate twisted ribbon; and in the centre of the base is fixed a socket
to receive any size candle, with a hinged box on the front of the base to hold
matches, the top of the lid of the aforesaid box being ornamented to imitate bows
of ribbon with a striker in the centre.
The socket to receive the candle is constructed by means of springs to expand or
contract for the purpose of receiving any size candle, this said socket is placed on
the top of the crown of the hat with a spike to run into the candle fixed in the
centre of the said crown or socket. Adjoining the crown I provide an extinguisher
which rests on a projection formed in the base or brim of the hat. At the top
of the crown the socket slides in a slot when the said socket expands or contracts.

other suitable material.
