What They Are Doing T E Old Fashioned Dinner Bell vived A Dish Rack. ReUSEFUL WHEN SERVING CHOPS A New Gridiron Promises to Revolutionize the Art of Broiling Steaks. It Is Easy to Clean and Can Bo Taken Apart if Desired. That all softening. Overpowering- knell. The tocsin of the soul The dinner bell. Of mission oak and brass is the dinner bell seen in the illustration. Fashioned like the old "town bells' used In the villages during colonial days and by English and . French peasants .to call town meetings, it is odd and attractive. ' " v The tone of the brass bell is deep and rich. The slightest pull on the leather thong suspended from it will make it ring long enough to call any ordinary hungry mortal to dinner. In a mission furnished hall this would add a quaint and artistic touch. Another new household Invention is the cbop rack. How often has the polish on a dining table been ruined by an unsightly mark made by the contact of a hot dish! , Some servants are so careless they never seem to learn that hot dishes will mark a table unless a thick mat is placed under them. Now the shops show a dish rack made especially for a chop dish, but which can be used for any other purpose desired, which holds the hot dish one Inch from the table, thus precluding any possible harm to the table from heat i Thtf rack is of nickel, which, by the way, Is a good substitute for silver. It never becomes tarnished and if robbed with a hot, damp cloth and dried quickly It shines like new silver. The rack is fashioned so as to make it easy to place the dish or to remove it The handle at the top is to use when carrying the hot dish to the table. As chops should always be served piping hot, this Indeed a solution of the question of to obtain the best results. A grooved gridiron that is among the new things of the season promises to revolutionize the art of broiling steaks or chops. The new gridiron is provided with a rest that tilts it In such a way that the grooved Iron on which the chop or steak rests inclines toward the back of the stove and terminates in a little trough, into which the gravy finds Its way as It courses down the grooves. In this manner not a drop of the juice of the meat is lost. The cleverest part of the device Is the way In which the fire is allowed to got at the meat while at the same time being deprived of its drippings of gravj'. A series of slits in the sides of the grooved channels, at a height which, while permitting the cooking to proceed,, precludes the possibility of the gravy escaping into the fire, make of the new gridiron as perfect a cooking utensil as the old one, but with the advantage of preserving the Juice of the meat.- The grooved part is removable fr purposes of cleaning, and the gridiron can be used apart from it if it is daslred. ,, Blanket Bath Robes. If you have a friend who is going to be married and yon want to make her some dainty personal thing build her a bath robe but of a silk blanket. The blankets are sold in the "shops at reasonable prices. They are widely striped in pink and blue, violet and bnf. blue and white. One of these can be easily arranged for a loose kimono robe. Large un, holes are cut, and square sleeves are arranged in with the back and fronts. The stripes must go across in order to give ft good hang to the blanket. Th edges are bound with four inches of pongee or china sfflc to match the color of one of the stripes. The wrongdoer . Is never wtthotsft pretextrrliaiJa F&vsfV

Uttie Things of Interest Examples of This Artist In a Number of Types. THE CHINESE INFLUENCE. Chippendale la Thought by Many Experts to Bo at His Best In the Simple Distinct Pattern Modern Furniture. ' The uninitiated in the ways of old furniture are apt to think of the chairs made by Chippendale as being of one type. A a matter of fact, Chippendale chairs are of a number of styles. There are the clawfoot models, beloved of our colonial ancestors and many of their descendants; the cabriole leg deSign and a more ornate affair boasting a back elaborated with ribbon-like splats. This last chair is not in the master's .best. style.. The Chinese tendency did not creep in until rather late In the career of the great Thomas Chippendale. He was somewhat famous as early as 1735, though not until 1753 did he remove from a bystreet off Long Acre to St Martin's lane. -He died in 1790, as you no doubt know. The u Chippendale chairs, above all, were famous. Few of his other pieces attained the instant approval usually given his chairs by the greatest experts. Naturally his most elaborate efforts were his least artistic. One of the most interesting features of these chairs Is that not only examples of his Gothic, French, Dutch and Chinese manners exist, but also mod els In which the different styles are blended. His devotion to the Chinese style dates from 1757. One example combines the Franco-Dutch top rail with the Chinese lattice back. Some consider the side chair with this back quite as typical. The lattice back was also made In Gothic form. The ribbon back Chippendale has a fussy back, of which the great Thomas did not approve. He made a stuffed chair in the French type, too, which is now said to be exceedingly rare In the original state. One of the Gothic styles with a . splat back has a hollowed out seat Chippendale is thought by many experts to be at his best in the simple distinct pattern, with the gadroon edging to the seat ralL It Is Interesting to know that de signs for modern furniture made from : the old models are all first drawn and then executed In plaster. Blocks of wood similar to this cast in shape are then cut and put Into the hands of skilled workmen at machines. The machines, some of them, seem scarcely less human than the workmen, so nicely do they chisel here and there under the guidance of the machinist's band. They, are nearly all manipulated partly by hand, and even the least costly bit of carved furniture receives a great deal more "hanQ" work than Is ordinarily supposed. After being roughly shaped by machine all the carved furniture is finished by hand. At the rows of boncbes one sees old men and boys Eld by side, working away with chisels and saws and tiny polished tools at sofa heads and chaii arms, which are very much nearer real art than many an ambitious student gets with brush and paint. "Adaptation" is the keynote of the designer for the American trade. Americans do not want utility sacrificed to grace and to "gingerbread" ornamentation. ' To Mond Broken China. The most successful way te mend broken china is the following formula: Powder a small quantity of lime and take the wfclte of one egg and mix together to a paste. Apply this quickly to the china to be mended, place the broken pieces together firmly, and they will become set and strong. It Is unusual when china breaks in the sam place a grain after being mended with this paste. " Tabitha: o-u Msdal flour leads them alt

Although, in the communi cations senlf to the newspapers, the committee does not even suggest In them that legal action will be taken to force the three recalcitrant dealers to get into line, yet this probaCbly will be the result, as the authorities are now working shoulder to shoulder with the Ministerial association. The three dealers, in the communication of the ministers are satd to have but small trade. One of these merchants is located on South Seventh street; another on Ft. Wyne avenue, and the third In the south part of the city. Whether it is believed by them that they will profit by remaining open at the expense of the other dealers, or whether it is to defy the ministers, Is not apparent It is believed, however, that both attitudes prompt the refusals.

FeopIle9 was several . years ago arrested for keeping open on Sunday, but was acquitted by a jury on the charge of violation of the Sunday closing law. The jury held that it was a public necessity for the meat markets to keep open oa Sunday because of the Inability of many consumers to keep meats from Saturday night until Sunday morning, owing to lack of ice. It is understood that this dealer Intends to make this plea his defense providing he is arrested in the future for violating the law. The Ministerial committee has not used "bull-dozing" means to obtain the results, as is apparent in the communication hereinafter given. It has tried to be perfectly fair and just with the dealers. The committee members feel that the dealers should not complain of the methods Indulged in by them to secure general Sunday closing. The communication is as follows: To the Meat Dealers of Richmond: We have, as we believe, ascertained the position of all the meat dealers In the city, (including those grocers who without waiting the result of the canj vas. Seven others living in Falrvlew . have agreed among themselves to close. And three others living in West Richmond, will close next Sunday. Only three have refused to close. But as these three are among the smaller dealers, and their keeping open will but slightly Xfect a very few of those who closed and as the sentiment in favor of clciiing is so very general ! and as so many have already closed, j we feel justified In fixing on Sunday, December 27 as the day for general closing, i And we request that all dealers notify their patrons of their intention to close next Sunday. While not entirely -satisfied, yet we are pleased with the result of our work bo far. And we are hoping that the three who have so far. : refused, will soon be with us. ' We request all law abiding citizens to encourage the meat dealers in their purpose to close. Every laboring man should have
