for
blotting powder.

TRENCHER--A wooden platter, a term more particularly applied to
the beautiful hand-painted circular boards for sweetmeats or
cakes.

In conclusion, in the foregoing pages most of the best-known household
curios--regarded as such by the collector--have been passed in review.
The list is, however, by no means exhausted, for as search is made among
the relics of former days many little-known objects come to light, and
as isolated examples find their way into public and private
collections.
