Helps to Hospitality.

Everything that looks toward hospitality Is prominent at the jeweler's. Notably are knives and forks. Polished surfaces \dth broken edge 3 seem to prevail in all sorts of tableware. Newer than these, however, are straight, raised parallel, lines on the stems of forks, expanding in plain, lustrous surfaces at the end. The knives to correspond have parallel raised lines. The ■evere chasteness of these ' is agreeable. Other knife and fork handles are in raised lines. In carvers perhaps the most acceptable have ivory handles. These are solid, round, with silver mountings only at the end. tfthers have the angles inclosed in broken Biver edges. The buckhora handles have swelling curves and are mounted iv silver. They have an imposing air of business, and, It seems, would be preferred by a proficient carver. Carving sets with silver handles follow the fashions described above by Elfcl« Bee in The Jewelers' Circular.
