CHILDREN’S FURNITURE
JUNE weddings are now looming on the horizon, and if you are looking for gifts that have an unmistak
able air of distinction and yet are very reasonably priced, I suggest
the silver pepper and salt set of English make shown in Figure 6. They are reproductions of old Georgian pieces and have lost nothing of the charm of the orig
not to be duplicated; and the fine workmanship that has gone into these pieces is unmistakable. The pepper pot stands 4 high, and the saltcellar, with blue glass lining, measures 2 3/4 long and l 1/2 high. The moderate price for the pair, which includes packing and ship
ping charges, is $12. 00, due to the present low cost of silver. — A.

ALTHOUGH the choice of toilet bottles is infinite, I have yet to find any which combine practical sturdiness and good looks as satisfac
torily as those shown in Figure 7. The flowered ones, banded in blue, come labeled for nine of the most usual liquids, or any special label can be put on. There are also two wide-mouthed bottles labeled for cotton and bath salts. These flowered bottles cost $2. 00 each, or $2. 50 for bottles specially labeled.
