To-night Jack's forks and Jill's spoons will have nothing in common with the grown-up's. But to- morrow, and forever thereafter, the children's places must be as correctly set as all the rest. It is quite important that all places should be correctly" set--including the children's. And it is easy to have them so. In "1847 Rogers Bros." you may provide the half-dozens of things you need most inexpensively. Salad forks, orange spoons, bouillon spoons and serving pieces will add immeasurably to the pleasantness and the correct- ness of every meal. / A sensible scheme is to purchase to-day the pieces you need most in beautiful, durable '1847 Rogers Bros." and to add to them as the occasion demands.
