Revival of an Ancient Style.
[Exchange]
"Here is something that will interest you," said a New York jeweler to a reporter recently. The object of interest was a fine fruit knife; it had a clear white semi-transparent blade, and a handle that was a fanciful combination of claret and white. "It's made of French china," said the jeweler. "It was imported from Paris. It is really a revival of a very ancient style. The porcelain is more easily kept clean than silver, and it is really beautiful. It is more easily broken, however. They are very cheap—fifty cents for half a dozen."
