Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 January 1914 — Glass Spoon. [ARTICLE]

Glass Spoon.

A maid’s distaste for polishing the silver is largely responsible for the new fasblhn which introduces as much glass as possible on the dinner table. Not. only are cruet-stands, salt-cellars, fruit stands, bonbon dishes and similar table accessories made of glass, but so are spoons, and even knives and forks in one household. Tbe glass spoon is thd pride of one housekeeper. Real cutlery, of course, cannot ( be absolutely- dispensed with, -,*nd steel table knives and silver forks continue

to hold their own, but tablespoons are made either entirely of glass, or, at any rate, with glass handles. On the whole, the tendency is to have beautiful and artistic objects on the table, while at thg same time the labor-saving question is taken into consideration.
