The Yale Door Closer is a faithful, mechanical

T hings old-fashioned often have 
qualities which hold them perennially 
fresh to memory. To one who remembers 
the bits of Parian ware that graced the 
front parlors of the 19th Century, their 
re-establishment among the lares and 
penates of a household whose inmates 
concern themselves with antiques and 
curios wiU be observ'ed with pleasure. 
With what a curious feeling one experi¬ 
ences mention of the igth Century in 
historical connection by those who were 
born this side of the memorable Year of 
Our Lord, 1900! It seems but yesterday 
that no thought of anything of the mo¬ 
ment’s ever coming to be regarded as an 
“antique” or a “curio” had come to us, 
although we might well have reflected on 
the mutability of novelty. Now it has 
come to pass that we must admit such 
things exist as 19th Century antiques, 
that there can be no question but that 
many of the treasured playthings of our 
cradle-years, even though these years 
were barely the other side of the centurj^’s 
marker, constitute curios as the world of 
the present measures things. 
Y’ell I remember a beautiful white 
porcelain pitcher in my grandmother’s 
home. It was glazed inside, but not out, 
and its decoration consisted of many 
allegorical figures in relief, entirely cover¬ 
ing the marble-like surface of its graceful 
shape, with no other color than the 
creamy tint of the pitcher itself. 
How good milk tasted when poured 
from that particular pitcher! What a joy

In this igth Century piece of American 
Parian ware there is a feeling by no 
means unlike much modern work by 
modelers of the statuette
