An inexpensive piece of glass which is 
especially desirable for the home in the coun¬ 
try is the fruit salad glass with plate made of 
American glass with a thumb design and a 
border of narrow ridges around both plate 
and the top of the glass. They come at 
$4.75 per dozen. 
Compotes are always useful, and the one 
shown at the lower left of page 48, made of 
glass, is most attractive in its simplicity, as 
it carries no cut work or decoration of any 
kind, but is gracefully molded with a short 
stem and cover. It particularly appeals to 
the hostess, as it is very inexpensive and ex¬ 
ceptionally good value for the price of $1. 
It is 6" high over all. 
At this time of the season the woman 
begins to think and plan for her country 
home and is desirous of having smart as well 
as new designs in china. Color plays a great 
part in the china which is brought out this 
season, and several illustrations of this are 
shown on these pages. At the upper left of 
page 48 is an exceptionally smart design of 
Wedgwood porcelain. The rim of the plate 
has a corrugated effect border with a small 
line of coloring near the edge. Inside the 
border is a wreath of gaily colored flowers. 
These flowers are also used to decorate the 
top of the tea cup shown with this plate. 
The lower part of the cup and the saucer are 
ridged similar to the plate. This porcelain 
can be had in dinner sets as well as tea or 
breakfast sets. The dinner plates are $10 a 
Among the marmalade hoiots is one of very 
thin glass and a wooden cover painted in -fruit 
and floioer decorations. The handle is a small 
fruit in natural colors. $3 
dozen ; entree, $7.50 per dozen; tea cups and 
saucers, $10 a dozen. 
The gay colors in a new design are illus¬ 
trated in the set shown at the bottom of page 
49. For a country home there is nothing 
more attractive than this brightly colored 
breakfast set, which can also be had in a 
dinner set. The bird and conventional 
flowers are colored with green, red, blue, and 
yellow on a white ground. The line at the 
outer edges of this porcelain is of a bright 
green. The breakfast set consists of eleven 
pieces and sells for $8.50. The dinner 
plates to match are $5.50 a dozen. 
The Chinese influence, which has been so 
popular in furniture, also finds its way in the 
attractive decorations of the china. The 
plate shown in the center of this page is of 
Copeland-Spode china with Chinese pagoda 
design and an attractive Chippendale bor¬ 
der. The predominating color is a soft 
greenish yellow, pink and blue in small deco¬ 
rative spots. This plate especially appeals 
to the hostess who wishes to have something 
distinctive on her table, and, as the Chinese 
influence has shown itself so prominently, 
many women are anxious to display the new 
tendencies on the table as well as in other 
portions of the house. These dinner plates 
are $20 a dozen, and the entree plates are to 
be had for $15 a dozen. 
The bright and cool colorings which 
are so popular for the summertime are
