STANDISH--The old name for an ink horn or vessel, afterwards applied to the stand or dish, or, as we call it now, inkstand, which contained the box or vessel for ink, and another 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.
