WOMAN AND HOME.

EVERY HOUSEWIFE SHOULD HAVE A WEEKLY MENDING DAY.

How JutiHf Lind Won Grisi—Imaginary Ailments of Women—A IJfhthonw Heroine—Women Preachers—Female Tenacity of Life—Recipes for Beauty.

Every housewife should set apart one day In each week for amending day—its duties should be as religiously performed as her daily devotions, says a writer in Good Housekeeping. Which day it shall be depends upon the usual time of getting the clothes in from the wash. If that disagreeable work is done at home, it should be as early in the week as practicable the flannels should be washed out and dried quickly, so as to shrink as little as possible, and to allow plenty of time to air them, for nothing is more ruinous to the health than Samp flannels.

If the clothes are all in by Thursday evening, then Friday would be a nice opportunity to lay out every garment and put it through a rigorous examination. It is well to have a special stocking basket, in which all the socks and stockings are placed ready for inspection. It should be furnished with suitable needles, darning cotton of all colors to suit the fancy hosiery, a pair of scissors, etc., so that it may be picked up at any of those odd moments which so often come to a housekeeper when she is not ready to settle down to work which needs cutting out or planning. After the holes are mended, thin placed should be neatly darned, for then they present a strong, even surface which is more comfortable than the hole when darned together later.

The garments which need mending should be placed in another basket. Every button should be examined, and if they are pulling out by the roots, as children's buttons always do, a double bit of cotton, or material like the garment, can be hemmed on the wrong side, the edges of the hole hemmed down on it, and the button replaced, concealing the hole entirely. It looks much better than setting the button higher or lower to gain a fresh foundation.

Strings have a way of wearing half off just where they are sewed on. They should be cut, the old place ripped off and a new sewing taken up, or else new strings. Little slits in underclothing should have a strong piece of material 'laid under, much larger than tho slit: when that is darned down with a few neat stitches it will hold much longer than if it is "just run up."

Boys' clothing should be furnished with good strong pockets, for the joy of a little chap's first pantaloons pales before "lots of pockets, to hold just everything."

Little girls enjoy pockets, too a moderate sized one, in the seam of a calico or gingham dress, holds hor handkerchief, thimble and other necessary things which would otherwise bo left lying around and lost.

I find that a child's habit of neatness largely depends upon the condition of the clothing put upon her from infancy. If she is accustomed to Whole clean clothes, she will enjoy them, then find them a necessity, and finally learn to love and keep them so.

The poor little ohildren who dive into bureau drawers, pulling out bottomless bodies, torn aprons and ragged dresses, which they strew about until they find some wearable garments, are greatly to be pitied nor are they to be blamed if they grow up into carelees and untidy men and women. It is never wise to buy just enough material for a child's dress, with nothing left for mending. The elbows always rub out first, and if there is enough to make a new underside to the sleevee, it helps the dress to last much longer.

If there is a wide sash like the dress, it can be utilised later on for new sleeves, and it will be all "washed alike," for nearly all colored goods will fade in time.

Jtaala Und and GrisL

I have read somewhere a Uttle ballad that pretty story of the famous songstress, Jennie Lind. Many days, months, and years hare quite obliterated the verses from my memory, leaving only the skeleton of the story to flutter in my brain like an autumn leaf which the summer's winds had riddled and robbed of its green. But I shall try to repair the injured leaf with the poor thread of my simple proee. Somewhere in the '40s Grisi aad Jennie Lind were singing in different places in London. Those who went into ecstacies over Grid's "Norma," were the next evening enraptured with Lind*s "Casta Diva." Great was the rivalry between them.

Finally Queen Victoria, deeming it a shame that two such gifted women should be separated by a mean, unworthy jealousy, requested both to appear at a court concert. Of course they both came. The queen warmly welcomed them together for the first time. She gave the signal for the concert to begin. Jennie Lind was the younger, and it was arranged that she should sing first. With perfect confidence in her powers sho stepped forward to begin. Chanoing to glance at Grisi she saw t&Q southern woman's malignant gaze fixed on her. The fierce look almost paralyzed her. Her courage left her, her voice trembled, everything grew black before her and she almost fell. By the greatest exertion of her will, however, she managed to finish her aria. A painful silence followed its conclusion—a silence that told her of her failure. She caught a triumphant expression of Grisiface.

Despite the clearness of her senses she quickly realised that failure meant lost glory, disappointed hope, the destruction of happiness, grief and mortification to her family and her friends. Suddenly a soft voice that seemed to come from heaven whinpored to her: "Sing one of your old songs In your native language^1 She caught at the thought like an inspiration. The accompanist was striking his final chords. She stepped up to him, asked him to rise, and took the vacant seat Softly her white fingers wandered over the keys in a loving prelude, then she sang. It was a iittlo prayer which she had loved as a child it belonged to her childhoods repertoire. She hadn't song it for years. As she «nng she was no longer in the presence of royalty, but singing to loving friends in her fatherland.

Nc one present understood a word of the "prayer." Softly at first the plaintive noles floated on the air, swelling louder and richer ©very moment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that weird, thrilling, plaintive "prayer." Gradually the song died away and ended in a soCI eoh. Again there was silence—the silence et admiring wonder. The audience sat spellbo«nd, Jennie Lind lifted at last her sweet bhae eyes to look into the scornful face that had so disconcerted her •t first. There was no fierce expression now instead, a teardrop glistened on the long blade iMbea. After a moment, with the impulsiveBH of a efctid of the tropics, Grisi crossed to jaaaie LiodV side, placed her arm about bar aad kissed b«r warmly, utterly re^ardtess of the admiring audience.—Milwaukee Winoootin. ________.

Imaginary Ailments of Worn**. There is a large class of women in constant trouble about their health, altkoogh tb» mm amount of strength to chwwful woasaa would he taken a* beahhtoses. Yon tsar to accost her with, "How are yon todayF for that wooid be J*

shower of complaints. She is always getting a lump on her side, an enlargement of the heart or a curve in the spine. If some of these disorders did not actually come, she would be sick all the same—sick of disappointment. If you should find her memorandum book, you would discover in it recipes for the cure of all styles of diseases, from softening of the brain in a woman, down to the bots in a horse.. Her bedroom shelf is an apothecary infantum, where medicines of all kinds may be found, from large bottles full of head wash for diseased cranioms, down to the smallest vial for the removing of corns from the feet. Thousands of women are being destroyed by this constant suspicion of their healtlL

Others settle down into a gloomy state from forebodings of trouble to come. They do not know why it is, but they are always expecting that something will happen. They imagine about one presentiment a week. A bird flies into the window, or a salt cellar upsets on the table, or a cricket chirps on the hearth, and they shiver all over, and expect a messenger speedily to come in hot baste to the front door and rush in with evil tidings.

Oh, do away with all forebodings as to the future. Cheer up, disconsolate ones! Go forth among nature. Look up toward the heavens insufferably bright by day, or at night when the sky is merry with ten thousand stars, joining hands of light, with the earth in the ring going round and round with gleam and dance and song, making old Night feel young again. Go to the forest where the woodman's ax jjngs on the trees and the solitude is broken by the call of the woodsparrow and the chewink starting up from among the huckleberry bushes. Go to where the streams leap down from off the rocks and their crystal heels clatter over the white pebbles. Go to where the wild flowers stand drinking out of the mountain brook and, scattered on the grass, look as if all the oreads had cast their crowns at the foot of the steep. Hark to the fluting of the winds and the long meter psalm of the thunder I Look at the Morning coming down the mountains, and Evening drawing aside the curtain from heaven's wall of jasper, amethyst, sardonyx and chalcedony I Look at this, and then be happy.—T. De Witt Talmage in Ladies' Home Journal.

A Lighthouse Heroine.

A woman who is now assistant keeper at White Head light could enlighten those who wish to know something of the experiences of lighthouse keepers. In 1856 this woman lived at Matinicus rock, twenty-five miles from the mainland, and inaccessible except in pleasant weather. Her father, Samuel Burgess, was the keeper at this light, and his family consisted of an invalid wife and five children, one daughter, Abbie, being 17years old. At the time of the memorable gale tha,t swept Minot's light into the sea, the keeper happened to be away. The heavy seas broke over the rock, washing every movable thing away until of the dwelling not a stone remained. The^ittle ones hurried the mother to the tower and then crept in themselves, as the sea cleared the rock of all save the stone lighthouse. For four weeks they lived there alone, for no human being could go to their rescue, but night after night Abbie lighted the beacon, and it never failed to shine through the gale.

One day in 1857 Mr. Burgess' left the rock to obtain his salary and to secure provisions. A gale prevented his return, and the family ran short of food. Abbie fashioned a sail, and her brother, who happened to be at home, started in a small skiff to procure food. For twenty-one days the family lived on a cop of corameal and an egg each per day, for the son was not heard from until the twenty-sec-ond day, and, added to tho risk of famines was the suspense as to, the fate of-their father and brother, for, were they drowned, the family would have starved on the desolate rock. r|V

During all this time, at the end of which the father returned, Abbie cared for the siok mother, comforted the children and kept the bright light burning to save the passing ships from dashing on Matinicus rock. Today her husband is keeper at White Head light and she is the assistant, and a braver woman never lived.—Lowiston Journal.

Women Preachers.

There are in the United States, it is said, fully one hundred clergy women, mostly outside of orthodox churches and the larger towns. The number, by report, is steadily increasing, too, in face of the determined Opposition of the evangelical generally to women as preachers. This opposition seems rather unfair, when it is remembered how very large and prominent a part the sex play in all ecclesiastical organizations the world over. It has been said that but for them churches of all denominations would come poorly off. They form the bulk of the congregation, and through their influence induce faithless husbands, brothers and lovers to accompany them thither. Without woman worshipers would be exceedingly few in Europe or here, and church machinery would be very apt to creak, rust and finally get hopelessly out of order.

Besides, who so administers to the ease, comfort, self love, spiritual well being of the whole fraternity of priests as the humble and fervently admiring women? Do they not, in the way of reciprocity, therefore, owe it to women, at least, not to throw obstacles in their path to pulpit honors! If more women were preachers, would they not draw more men to the churches, as well as spread and strengthen religious influence where it is most needed. There would seem to be a few callings to which women are better fitted by nature, sympathy and aspiration than the clerical calling. If they want to preach, speaking as laymen, is it not their right and privilege to do sot—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Yillatr* Life on the Upper Congo. Many of the villages on the upper Congo consist merely of fifty to sixty log huts, twothirds of the populatiou being generally women, In many districts women are considered as currency, their value increasing as they maintain a greater degree of corpulency. Each woman has as many metal ornaments as she can wear, some composed of

iron,

others brass and copper. These metals are the money of the country, so that the more a woman can heap upon herself the greater becomes her value.

Each chief has as many wives as he can afford to buy or marry, which is only another form of purchase. Early in the morning few of these women are to be found in the villages, as they start off at daybreak to work in their plantations, and do not return until about noon. However, few always have to remain to attend to the necessary domestic items of life, such as cooking aad th«ir toilet. These central African* are vary particular in all items in connection with their toilet, which consists of plaiting their lair, shaving off the eyebrows, pullfng out the eyelashes, cutting their nails right down to tbe quick, and besmearing their bodies with a mixture of palm-oil and camwood.—Herbert Ward in Scribncr.

F«mal« iMsetty of Uh.

It appears from the gathered statistics of the world that women have a greater tenacity of life than men. Nature worships the famak baall its varieties. Among insects the adi parishes at a relatively earlier period. In plants tbe seminate Weewms die earliest and am prodoced on the weaker Unba.

nuadrupeds have more endurance than males. Ux the human race, despite the intellectual and physical strength of the man, the woman endures longest, and will bear pain to which the strong man succumbs. Zymotic diseases are more fatal to males, and more male children die than females.

Deverga asserts that the proportion dying suddenly is about 100 women to 780men 1,080 men in the United States in 1870 committed suicide to 285 women. Intemperance, apoplexy, gout, hydrocephalus, affections of the heart and liver,tscrofula and paralysis are far more fatal to males than females. Pulmonary consumption, on the other hand, is more deadly to the latter. Females in cities are more prone to consumption than in the country. All old countries not disturbed by immigration have a great majority of females in the population. In royal families the statistics show more daughters than sons. The Hebrew woman is exceptionally long lived the colored man is exceptionally short lived. The married state is favorable to prolongation of life among women. Dr. Hugh proclaims that there are from 2 to 6 per cent, more males born than females in the living population.—New York Ledger!

:J- Recipes for Beauty.

Nowadays, when a woman's well kept dressing case abounds in silver corked bottles containing rose water, glycerine, camphor, scented powders and creams, and—if she "corrects" her face still further—in a porcelain pot of some well advertised patented rouge, it is curious to read the following, as given in a western paper, describing some of the recipes for obtaining beauty very much prized by the belles of three centuries ago. They were formulated by a certain shrewd Master Alexis, who lived in the early part of the Seventeenth century. The following is supposed to keep off pimples: "Take rock salt and break it into small pieces and get the freshest laid egg possible. Put both into a dish over the fire and when it begins to boil stir with a stick." A preventive for wrinkles reads: "Take a couple of calves' feet and boil in river water until half consumed, a pound of rice and boil with crumbs of fine bread, two pounds of fresh butter and £he whites of ten fresh eggs." Here is another suggestion, economical at least: "Take flowers of rosemary and boil them in white wine, then wash your face with it. Afterward use it for drink—thus you make your face fair and your breath sweet" Good Master Alexis understood the amazing credulity of women, but if they followed his advice how direful the results must have been, and how much said good Master Alexis had to answer for.—New York Herald.

A Lesson in Boasting.

And now for the lesson in roasting. Suppose we take a calf's heart, and make a dish which for economy and delicacy is not half well enough known, although it will be after a few hundred more girls have learned how to prepare it. You must wash the heart thoroughly in cold water, to remove the blood, and cut out the veins and arteries. This may not be a pleasant task to every one, still it is no more unpleasant than preparing fowls or game. Make a stuffing with one tablespoonful of bread crumbs, one tablespoonful of chopped onions, ope saltspoonful of powdered sage, one-half a saltspoonful of salt, and a tiny bit of pepper. This yon may moisten with milk or water.

After it is. prepared put it into the cavity caused by the rpmoval of the arteries, and sew the edges together. Slice an onion and brown it in a tablespoonfnl of clarified dripping skim out the pieces of onion, reserving them for, use, brown the heart in the seasoned fat, then put it wxtn* u*o uk&ticm in a artp abdi and half coyer with boiling water. Qakein a hot oven bne hour, basting every ten mindtee, add more water if necessary. Wh«n the heart is donWyou may make a gravy by thickening the water that is left in the dish with a little flour wet in cold water, just as yon did in the mutton gravy. You will find thU a verjrnice occasional dish for dinner, ana a very inexpensive one.—Wide Awake.

Oddity In Furniture.

Here is ao oddity in farnitwe that to my mind would be most appropriate for either a smoking room or an artistes studio, says a writer in ifeble Talk,. Itis a set upholstered mainly in palm leaf fans. A single we$l formed, widespread fan forms the seat of a chair, surrounded with a tufting of velvet or plush a second, likewise framed, forms the lack. Even the tabletop, set on stout mahogany legs, was formed of these leaf fans, gracefully spread, and the sofas and "tete-a-tete" chairs were similarly composed, and, despite the fan like aspect, did not show a suggestion of coolness. .j-\

Borne Made Picture Frames. The home decorator finds a good field in which to display her tastes in picture frames. A novelty for woodland scenes is to have a pine frame made and bronzed or stained at the corners are placed natural twigs and leaves, laid in graceful position and gilded or silvered according to tho effect desired. Frame? for marine views are easily made by surrounding a pine wood frame with heavy rope sailor knots ornament the corners and the inner edge is finished with a small cord the whole may be gilded and bronzed or otherwise colored.

At a Woman's College.

At the new woman's college in Baltimore, ea6h applicant for a degree will be obliged to exercise in the gymnasium one hour on three days in each week. The students will also attend an elementary course of lectures on human anatomy, physiology and hygiene, by Dr. Alice T. Hall, the object being to give a practical knowledge of the structure, functions and relations of the different systems of the body, and of the best methods of securing and maintaining sound health.—Woman's Journal.

Mrs. Morton's Paris Gowns.

It is easy to tell why Mrs. Morton need give no thought to her costumes, as M. Worth is their composer. There is a seductive tale afloat that die has twenty that have never been taken from their wrappings, ten far carriage and day wear and ten regal reception robes. It is said the bill Worth rendered was $130,000, as he selected, planned and made every one of them. One thousand dollars per gown distances all competition in modest Washington.—Chicago Herald.

The Woman's Cycle suggests that for enterprising women it would be worth while to let the public know that they are engaged in a useful business. Thaw is an opening of which one little woman has availed herself, in mending locks, trunks, bags, window fastenings, and the like—an easy aad not unprofitable horinewa, which is almost altogether in the hands of a rough daae of men.

FASHIONS THAT ARE APPROVED AT HOME AND ABROAD. iki

Description of Some of the Parses in Which New York Ladies Carry Their Pin Money Attractive Styles in the lacky Moonstone Jewelry. *.

The fashionable lady's purse nowadays means more than am we receptacle for bills and loose change. It is a thing of beauty, the intrinsic worth of which often exceeds the value of the money contained within. Imagine a purse of fine gold network. This is hung on two gold bars which are tipped with large pearls outside of circles of small diamonds. The purse is closed by a large ring set with diamonds. So exquisite is the workmanship that the network is as flexible as silk. Smaller gold net purses are intended for gold coin, and are without jewels.

A NOVELTY IN PURSES.

The purse depicted in the cut appeared in the various jewelry stores, at the holidays, in both gold and silver mountings. As will be seen on referring to the illustration, this novelty consists of a knitted silk top set into a hoilow half globe of silver or gold, richly chased in elaborate pattern. The top is drawn together with silken cords that terminate in silver or gold headed tassels.

There are quaint purses of old fashioned pale blue and pink brocades sewn with pearls and mounted in gold. Other purses are of brocade, with gold mounts and without pearls.

Card cases and purses of leather are only less sumptuous than those of precious metal. A card case of black levant, for example, is ornamented with fleurs-de-lis in diamonds. A leather purse which promises to become a popular affair is nearly square in form and large enough to receive a lady's visiting card. It is a combination affair, being in reality a card case as well as a purse. On opening the silver clasp are disclosed pockets on either side, one for cards and the other for bills, while between these is a middle compartment, lined with chamois skin, for coin. The outside of this purse is decorated more or less elaborately with applied designs in silver.

Moonstone Jewelry.

Moonstone jewelry, which of late has acquired the reputation of being "lucky," is the favorite of the hour in medium priced jewelry. Moonstones take carving handsomely, aud this carving enhances their value according as it is artistically done.

Two desien« mnnnstano brooches are.beli«vocl by the superstitious to be doubly lucky: One represents the man in the moon's face in profile set in a diamond crescent, while the other is hit jolly round face set in a halo of small diamonds. Heart shaped moonstones are also believed to be of good omen in love affairs. Bracelets have heart shaped moonstones, double and single, setround with diamonds and surmounted by love knots in diamonds.

Pretty harp shaped brooches seen have a mermaid as the upright, the head and body of the figure being cut out of moonstone and the tail like appendage set in diamonds. Diamonds closely set form the rest of the frame, which represents one-half of an anchor caught in the folds of the tail.

POPULAR MOONSTONE BROOCHES. Three lovely little cherub heads of moonstone, with gold flattened wings, and set on a curved bar, form a unique lace pin that ia much admired. The soft radiance of the moonstono is a favorite effect in round brooahes. A pleasing design 3s in radiating pear shaped form. Florentine designs in round brooches show beautiful work. The forms, which are rich in themselves, are elegantly chased. Occasional diamonds set at

the

points of continuity in design add to its beauty. .•

Fashionable Petticoats.

BlncV moire petticoats, lined with red flannel, are fashionable this winter. They are plain, with all the fullness concentrated at the back, and take about five yards to niake. They can also be had in dark red, navy blue, or in light colors, for evening wear but the black ones are the most chic.

Among

petticoats recently made for a

bride was one of rich black moire, satin wadded and scented, the ."fumo being introduced between the linings. It was finished with a pale green border, with a ribbon sash to match.

Colored flannel petticoats are also more popular than white ones. Some have embroidered frills, others insertions of coarse lace, and others tucks.

There is a fad for dressing from head to foot in color and shade to match one's hair. Velvet sleevas in leg-o'-mutton style aro popular for cloth dresses and jackets.

The wired veil is a convenient novelty. The material of the reu is gathered on fine wire, which can be adjusted to bonnet or hat of any shape and stays securely wi thoat pinning.

Gay striped or plaided sOk is used for cuffs, collar and panels on the skirt of black dresses for house wear.*

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE

New an«l Attractive Notions In Fancy Work and Decorative Knicknacks. Harlequin patchwork is anew thing, and far more artistic than the "crazy" patchwork that has had such a run. The foundationals a width of black satin, on to which every kind of device is applique, such as diamonds, octagons, squares, anchors, scrolls— in fact, any shape you like. These are first carefully cut out in paper and then the material, whatever it may be—silk, velvet, plush or brocade—is put over the paper, with the edges well and neatly turned in. The devices are tacked on to the satin quite carelessly, and then worked in any fancy stitch, like crazy patchwork. This harlequin patchwork, if properly treated, will make many pretty things.

Very pretty embroidery in colored silks and gold thread work is done on butcher blue linen. Ivory yellow linen furnishes one of the best of backgrounds for fine embroidery either in silk or bullion threads.

A string bag of quaint design is of satin, blue and white stripes being sewn together to make the bag all round it hang silver and copper bells, and it is suspended by cords.

One of the prettiest of new sachets is composed of white satin, folded to form two pockets inside, and merely bound round with cord. The decoration makes it noticeable. The background of satin on tha front side is painted with graduated shades of warm brown, and on this are scattered a few sweet peas done in an artistic style.

Barley Soup.

Boil half a pint of pearl barley in a quart of vegetable stock till it is reduced to a pulp, pass it through a hair sieve, and add to it as much well flavored vegetable stock as will give a puree of the consistency of cream put the soup on the fire when it boils stir into it, off the fire, the yelk of an egg beaten up with a gill of cream add half a pat of fresh butter, and serve with small slice of bread fried in butter.

Cleaning Furs in Russia.

Some rye flour is put into a pot and heated upon a stove, with constant stirring as long as the hand can bear the heat. The flour is then spread over the fur and rubbed into it. After this the fur is brushed with a very clean brush or, better, is gently beaten until all the flour is removed. The fur thus resumes its natural luster and appears absolutely as if new.

Arrangement of a Looking Glass.

There is a very pretty fashion nowadays of draping mirrors in many fanciful ways. Sometimes the glass itself is more than half concealed, as is shown in the illustration here given.

FAN SHAPED DRAPERY FOR A MIRKOR. A short curtain in striped gauze or other thin, transparent material is disposed in fan shaped folds, which are caught up in the center with a large gimp rosette, agreeing with the chenille fringe which edges the valance drapery, in ruby plush, lined with pale blue surah. The strip of plush is skillfully thrown in scallops over a cablelike pole in the center and is caught up at the side under a rosette, from under which fall two irregular fanlike plaitings.

Fare and core apples and ploce them around the dish, after sticking them with cloves. Soak two teacupfuls of tapioca in a dish of water until the water is absorbed and then mix in two cupfuls of sugar. Pour the tapioca over tho apples aud bake until it is clear, thick jelly. Eat with rich cream.

Coffee Cream.

one pint of rich custard, dissolve one

pounc^of gelatino and three ounces of sugar together in one small cupful of very strong coffee, add the custard, and then strain it, whip one-half pint of cream and stir into the custard, let all cool and pour into a mold and set on ice to harden.

Toddy Kettles.

Toddy kettles in Japanese silver have made their fikxxzo in the heart of the family. They are not necessarily for *toddy they may be used for tea. They are exceedingly pretty, and are usually watched over from the cover by a squat Japanese god, very ugly but very good natured.

Charlotte lliiwtc.

Line a dish with split lady fingers or thin slices of sponge cake. To one quart of rich sweet cream add flavoring and sweeten with three-quarters of a cup of powdered sugar. Whip the cream to a stiff froth, fill in the rfinh and lay cakes upon the too and set it upon the ice.

New Things in Table Silver. Silver skewers have sword like hilts. A silver column wound with a wreath serves as a candlestick.

Heavy broken chased edges finish salvers and large silver dishes. Perforated bonbon dishes coma in different sixes and are dainty table pieces.

The oblong cake and bread baskets of perforated silver recall the silver of fifty years ago.

Colonial pitchers of silver have plain surfaces broken by graceful garlands in relief and finely chased.

A long slender stem wound with a silver spiral and surmounted by a tiny coin is a butter pick pretty enough for an ornament.

The popular spiral is found in silver coffee services. The spirals form the base and are polished to tbe last degree of brilliancy. The upper part is slender, straight and reflects like a mirror. a am** dish for table use wnpomae work elaborately chased,
