New China

Table china has nver been richer 01 more beautiful thaft it Is at present and there are so many different styles to cboose from that it is a difflcult matter to decide which one prefers says the New York Herald. But with a liítle good taste one can get together a most charming dinner or tea service from the various kinds of china brought out this f all. As has been tbo case for some timo past, it is not faskionable to have a whole set of one kind of china. White and gold, or ivory and gold, continúes to be used most oi all for the principal dishes, and next to that the color most used is green. It is in every form of decoration this ycar. It is used in combination with gold to a great extent. The principal styles of decoration are the rococo, Louis XVI. and empire styles. The rococo is being used most of all on tho very handsome china, as well as on fine glass for the table. Many beautiful plates have rococo borders of embossed gold on colors. Plower decorations aro also very much the fashion, especially roses. One beautiful new design is a reproduction of old Sevres and is formed of bunches of roses, caught together with a blue ribbon, which runs in curves and loops all around eacb piece of china. Reproductions of ol designs are quite the thing in thos days, and china follows this fashion. A novelty of this season is a high chocolate cup of a rather peculiar shape. Some of thos are green and gold, rococo style, with four Watteau figures on each cup and each saucer. Anothex style is also decorated with Wattean figures, but has a background of gold, with a high glaze, and the inside of the cups, too, is gilded. Quite an original idea Is the three-handled loving cups of glass for flowers in th-t center of the table. These cups are made in clearwhite glass, cut glass and green and gold.
