Candle Light For the Table.

What la it about the soft mellow candle light that makes a table so much more attractive than almost any other light? The handsome electric lights, globes, lanterns and the like used to light the table are all ornamental features of the dining room, yet the small candles afford the greatest attraction. Of course they "gutter and sputter,’’ but I saw some twilight sandle lamps which have the appearance of being genuine candles and they are lighted with kerosene and are furnished with miniature chimneys and shades. No doubt they will take the place of the old fashioned spermaceti candle because they will prove safer, yet have the- same appearance as the tallow ‘‘dip.”
