(Violet Wyld Photo) Patina was still in love with O l d Master F l a t Silver the next time she came in, but she wanted to see two other patterns before I she made up her mind. One of them was Old Colonial. There's no question about her liking traditional elegance. She's going to have 18th century furniture in her house when she marries, some of it really old and some, good reproductions. They have a mahogany highboy in her mother's house, 150 years old, with the broken pediment, or "bonnet", top, and Patina couldn't get over the similarity between that top, with the center finial, and the bonnet top and spiral finial on the handles of the Old Colonial 111 r.; pieces. "It's only since I've been thinking about Flat Silver," she said in that eager way of hers, "that I've realized that silver patterns are inspired by different periods of furniture and architecture." She'd read that book we gave her, all right--"The Story of Sterling". We pointed out that the urn on the handles, with the curving gadroon border, and the beading that runs down the sides of every Old Colonial piece were all in the true colonial tradition. She , could see how the fluting on the bowls of the spoons and the breast and tines of the forks carried out the effect of the slightly concave surface of the shield on the urn. "That fluting must be beautiful when it picks up the glow from candlelight!" she said. She's right; it is. Funny, how serious Patina can be sometimes. She has such a magic spark of gaiety that the serious side of her nature always comes as a little surprise. She asked about the care of F l a t Silver and whether Old Colonial would be hard to clean because it was so highly ornamented. It wouldn't be. We explained that she'd have to use a small brush to apply the polish and again to clean out any polish which might be left in the crevices. She knew that you must rub each piece of Flat Silver lengthwise, never crosswise or with a circular motion. A n d after the polishing, wash in clean hot water, then polish with a soft flannel or chamois. She was worried about the scratches that might show up on the plain surfaces and was relieved to learn that they gave no cause for a l a r m . These tiny scratches are bound to appear in the beginning and they multiply so quickly when the silver is used regularly that they soon produce a mellow finish very much to be desired. We stressed the fact that the best way to care for silver and to give it that old, polished look was to use it every day, not to put it away and bring it out only on special occasions. Patina promised. She's going to try to be a very good housekeeper.
