He was a diffident young man and un-
versed In the ways of society, but the many
charms of certain reigning belle had i'm
pressed themselves upon him, and he deter
miIed to woo and win"
He thought 1t would help him out q good
deal IL he took some flowers to the lady.
and he purchased a beautiful bouquet. But
Just as he was about to approach the house
1t suddenly occurred to him that the lady
herself had a fine conservatory. He tried
to think of some way to get over the blum
der Suddenly he recollected the saying
about carrying Goals to Newcastle and
determined to make use of 1t. But as he
rang the bell the cold sweat began to ooze
from every pore, and when the lady ap-
peared in the reception room he scarcely
knew where he was at.
"I-I-th-thought," stammered the en-
barrassed youth, "th-that IL w-would
b-brlng you a b-bou-bouquet b-but it's
like c-castng p-pearls before S.
swine"
The gushing girl sometimes meets her
match. Said one at a o'clock to the SEN
sible girl who was pouring" May l have
this lovely little pink cup?" Certainly 4"
"oh, thanks, awfully." Don't mention it,"
returned the other, you're dreadfuly well
come" The gusher retired In confusion
Gravers and scoopers and other mys-
terious little instruments have crept into

ing-but in reality 1t is quite simple. First
you provide yourself with a working table,
1t need not be large; then, at any art store,
buy half oozen gravers and scOopers OF
varying degrees of fineness the next out
lay Is for shell upon which you are to cut
the cameo. Black, red and yellow "hel-
NETS" the shells are called, are required
and they cost from SO to S. each but from
good shell several oyals rounds can
be cut.
After 1t has been cut the required size
and shape, it is then fixed with hot cement
upon a holder-a little block that can be
held in the hand The upper surface of the
shell is made sufficiently smooth to take the
design, which is then traced upon it, as
one traces on china; all the white part
beyond the design is cut away, leaving the
pattern on the dark ground to be, by de-
grees, cut into form. The thickness and
quality of the white stratum cannot be
known until the shell is cut. II varies a
good deal, so that sometimes the figure will
stand out in much higher relief that was at
first anticipated.
Sometimes when a particular design Is to
Do made several shells are cut before a suit
able one Is found.
The skill of the artist is shown In the ar
rangement OF the design so as to make the
best use Of the she'll For instance the
foliage must be arranged TO come where the
white is thinnest and figures where the
thickness of the white will give roundness
TO the limbs.
II naturally follows that the one who un-
derstands the arts of drawing and painting
and all about lights and shadows will make
the greatest success as cameo engrayer.
To take out any scratches made by the
grayer the cameo or shell must be polished
by rubbing II with pumce stone and water
after which II must be washed In warm
water, when a second polishing follows with
pumice dust and oil. and with a small box
wood stick Then IL must be washed again
The third and last finish is given with fine
rotten stone and sulphurc acid; a very high
degree OF polish is thus obtained, and behold
your cameo! Perhaps not, at hrst the sue
cess you dreamed. but still fairly satisfac
tory, while with practice you go on to per,
fection and in time have a choice Bit TO Offer
q friend.
"What! a cameo. and you cut it,"
"Yes. oh, that's nothing I've done dozens
OF them" and so forth. and so on, while yor
In turn initiate your friend IN the mysteries
Of cameo cutting and feel sufficiently re
