A POINTLESS SPOON. Fashion Cries “Checkmate” to tac 4i1 Who Uses One Head On. Destiny is shaping the end of tho mi who for years has been breaking he by his efforts to fetch the point of hi: soup spoon head cn between the wings of his mustache, says an exchange. “He may refuse to be shaped, of course, and may continue to dislocate his shoulder | at each mouthful and to wreck a fri of his neighbor’s sleeves at each hoist- ing of his elbow, but he cannot longer in fashionable houses get the puint of his spoon into his mouth. And the reason is like that which the little boy gave for refusing to give the core of h apple. “There wasn’t, going to be any core,” and there isn’t any point to the new soup spoon. A round spooa, not so very unlike a miniature ladle in its shape -as te entirely escape calumny, has been eagerly adopted by those who | like up-to-date service and is now be- ing bought at the rate of thousands a week by those who follow fashion. To make a rather cesthetic companion for the new soup spocn, that it may not go forth into the world alone, so to speak, there is a positively new pastry fork. A “pie fork” they weuld probably call this in the land where Ralph Waldo Gmerson, a favorite son, is reverenced jor having once answered a man who asked him if he really ate pie at breakfast. “But, my dear sir, what is pie for?” A “pastry fork” it is called. But by even a more suphemistic name yet it would be an inter’ ng invention and a high nov- tlty. The wavy edge, which made a certain sort of bread knife famous has been applied to the pastry fork, together with a curving shape, makes it possible for even a nervous map to keep the tip of the fork on his piate and saw through an obstinate bit of puff paste. To be spared the oid familiar agony of see~ ing the soft and melting heart of his “sweetie” go sailing away to make a eranberry island on his next neighbor's white-satin lap is worth more than $2 a fork to any man.
