For the dining table there is the warming stand, large enough for several 
dishes and heated by alcohol or electricity 
This lamp duplicates in glass the effect 
of a silk shade

that is 
pretty and convenient is of silver, shaped 
like an ordinary toast rack with a tiny alco¬ 
hol lamp underneath, and another new ad¬ 
dition to the breakfast table service is a 
pair of little Sheffield pots, one of which is 
intended for cofifee, the other for hot milk. 
They are made with right and left handles, 
so that the milk and coffee can be poured in 
at the same time, and their price is $8 each. 
Electric percolators, toasters and chafing 
dishes are beginning to be considered quite 
indispensable as parts of the dining-room 
equipment, and there can be no question 
about their suitability as gifts; or when elec¬ 
tricity is not available, the alcohol perco¬ 
lators and samovars are equally , 
serviceable, if rather more trouble. 
Quite the newest thing in an alcohol 
percolator is of silver-plate, with a 
cut glass globe of elaborate de¬ 
sign, in place of the customary 
plain glass. 
A satisfactory gift to the house¬ 
keeper who appreciates distinction L.^Q- 
in her table decoration would be one K T, 
of the Japanese flower holders with 
shallow dish for water, in which a 
lamp underneath or with 
electric current for these 
stands are now adapted to 
A new toast 
very few flowers can be ar¬ 
ranged in an exceedingly ar¬ 
tistic way. The holders are 
of bronze in various shapes 
of crabs. 
These lanterns of antique design make 
good piazza lights 
swans and 
other aquatic dwellers, or in forms rather 
more conventional in design, and the dishes 
of Chinese crackle-ware, or plain white por¬ 
celain, can be had in many shapes and sizes, 
and at prices from one dollar upwards. 
Dinner gongs and chimes make useful 
gifts and are shown in a number of different 
styles, from the brass disk suspended in a 
frame to the set of chimes placed in a small 
mahogany stand about three feet high. A 
smaller set of chimes with four notes is also 
mounted on a mahogany stand for use on a 
side table, and still another variety is en¬ 
closed in a wall cabinet with doors like an 
ordinary cupboard. 
Modern Sheffield silver can be 
had in such a variety of attractive 
pieces that it furnishes unlimited 
opportunities for the selection of 
appropriate Christmas gifts. Prac¬ 
tically all of the Sheffield pieces are 
copies of antiques and there is no 
question of their value, either from 
an artistic or a utilitarian stand¬ 
point. Particularly satisfactory are 
the Sheffield pitchers of good size, 
in perfectly plain models designed 
Japanese flower holders of this type are distinctive. Above
