* "Alenny" spoons. Alice Morse Earl's "China collecting in America" p. 43," mentions how few people possessed spoons and writes:
"Extremely elegant people had spoons of Alchyey or assany, aleamy, assury, asimmy, ascany, as I have seen it spelt, a metal composed of pan brass and arsenicum."
I think attention should be called to the gloves. It seems very doubtful that any man not of a good station in life wore gloves at this period.
