The Making and Seeking of Old Worcester 
(Continued from page 54) 
The blue and white pieces of the Dr. 
Wall period were soon followed by those 
brilliantly decorated in the “Japan 
taste”. Such decoration was very popu¬ 
lar in the tea-sets. Much gilding, too, 
found favor with the blues. The forms 
were unlimited, many pieces of the 
ware, such as “cake baskets” being 
pierced. Worcester potters left the mak¬ 
ing of figurines to others. It must not 
be forgotten that Worcester came to be 
so much in demand that the manufac¬ 
tory placed on the market innumerable 
pieces of undecorated ware, sold to those 
who wished to try a hand at its decora¬ 
tion on their own account. 
The Dr. Wall period pieces are col-, 
lector’s pieces paramount. After 1783 
the Flight paste was not so fine as that 
of the preceding period, nor so good, 
either, as that of the Chamberlains. 
Flight continued patterns in the “Japan 
taste” but his mainstay was in his 
painted or printed flower patterns. 
The Chamberlains attracted the favor 
of Royalty and of other distinguished 
patrons. The Prince of Orange ordered 
a dessert set from them in 1796. Lord 
Nelson and Lady Hamilton gave an 
extensive order in 1802 but Lord Nel¬ 
son’s death automatically caused the dis¬ 
continuance of work on these pieces 
when only the breakfast set had been 
completed. In 1811 the Prince Regent 
patronized the Chamberlain works as did 
the Princess Charlotte, Although the 
Chamberlains employed the original 
recipe of Dr. Wall for the paste body, 
their wares, by use of materials de¬ 
veloped after his time, came to be more 
translucent and lighter. This paste was 
called “Regents” body. Pieces of this 
fabrique all bear the Chamberlain mark, 
and thus may be distinguished. 
Worcester is as celebrated for its old 
porcelain as it is for its famous sauce, 
just as Chelsea’s renown is divided be¬ 
tween her delectable china swains and 
shepherdesses and her delicious buns. I 
am not sure but what, even in a ma¬ 
terialistic age, one’s affections would not 
be as immediately pleased by the por¬ 
celain as by the provender. At any 
rate, the cupboard may contain both, so 
I advise one who is disposed either way 
to follow Charles Lamb’s very satisfy¬ 
ing visit habit. 
And let us not forget, in the pleasure 
we derive from the contemplation and 
the possession of the things of yesterday, 
the efforts of those pioneers in the arts 
who produced them. Even the learned 
Dr. Samuel Johnson, we are told, tried 
his hand at theoretically evolved for¬ 
mulae for porcelain pastes, some of the 
sad results of which nestle somewhere 
in the collection of the Victoria and 
Albert Museum in South Kensington, 
London. If only Dr. Johnson’s dreams 
had come so true as Dr. Wall’s! But, 
then, we might not have had the dic¬ 
tionary ! 
Kitchen Arrangement to Save Labor and Steps 
(Continued from page 32) 
The refrigerator, like the range, if 
electrically wired, may be put in the 
most convenient place in the kitchen. 
Otherwise, it should be placed as far 
away from the range as possible. 
So far, the floor and wall space on 
three sides of the kitchen has been ar¬ 
ranged. The corner next the range 
might be called the rest corner of the 
kitchen. Under the high window are to 
be found the double shelves for cook 
books and war bulletins from the Food 
Administration, and beside these the 
telephone table, equipped with conve¬ 
nient pads for ordering, a complete tele¬ 
phone list of tradesmen and a com¬ 
fortable chair. Next come the shallow 
shelves for seldom used articles and re¬ 
serve supplies of non-perishable foods. 
The broom closet, a convenient storage 
place for brooms, brushes, vacuum 
cleaner, dusters, and the necessary ma¬ 
terials used with these implements, is 
placed next to the outer door. 
A combined electric fan and ozonator 
serves to ventilate, cool and deodorize. 
In the kitchen used for illustration, it 
is placed on the shelf arrangement. 
When an electric range is not used, it 
is most advisable to have a fireless 
cooker. This can be placed conveniently 
under the drain board of the sink. 
The necessary garbage can will be 
best placed under the sink. The most 
satisfactory type is that used in most 
hospitals; pressure of the foot will raise 
the lid, leaving both hands free. 
The electric table, placed in the cen¬ 
ter of the room, will be found of great 
assistance. Besides serving as a regular 
work table, it has a plate-warming com¬ 
partment, which may also be used for 
keeping food warm. A cluster attach¬ 
ment accommodates such labor-savers 
as food-chopper, bread and cake mixer, 
ice cream freezer, silver cleaner, or any 
other operation requiring continuous 
power.

Is Fall Planting Universally Possible? 
(Continued from page 25) 
to it—and thaw accordingly, and in the 
thawing process are unable to maintain 
their moisture content owing to inter¬ 
ruption of their perfect contact. For 
earth shrinks in thawing, remember, and 
often withdraws itself from contact with 
bigger things than plant rootlets. 
With this general idea of what causes 
the death of a transplanted plant—-that 
is, the interruption of root activity over 
so long an interval that the plant actual¬ 
ly starves to death—we may proceed to 
those difficulties that beset vegetation 
under those specially unfavorable con¬ 
ditions that prevail in certain places. 
Why is it that fall planting invariably 
is fatal under certain climatic condi¬ 
tions ? 
Perhaps the surest general answer, ap¬ 
plying to the general question, is summed 
up in one word “extremes”. Unfavor¬ 
able localities are invariably localities 
where extremes of one kind or another 
are found. A modicum of freezing and 
of winter thawing, of wind and of ice 
and of snow and all that goes to make 
up winter, will not hurt fall planted 
material providing, of course, the mate¬ 
rial itself is not intolerant of being han¬ 
dled in the fall. Certain things are— 
but of these later. But extremes of 
temperature—particularly extremes of 
variability—are pretty certain to be dis¬ 
astrous; extremes of wind likewise; and 
extremes of sunlight, or perhaps I should
