HER "MENDED" CHINA.

The nouvelle rich woman who had
cestors and then held them near the
fire so that the paint would crack, says
the New York Press. thus giving them
the ideal appearance of age and gem
uineness, was not whit brighter than
little woman who invented some nice
heirlooms the other day. She had
grown weary of trying to trace up a
family tree and she had not a cent
to invest in the antiques which every
scion of an old family must possess
in order to prove that he is a genuine
twig OF a famous tree.
Day after day she would visit her
more favored friends and gaze upon
their me-dimmed family portraits and
drink tea from their real old Delft cups
and saucers and eat tea-cakes off their
old English plates, until her heart grew
bitter with envy. The very newness
of the pretty furniture in her smart
little apartment became an abomina-
ton to her. It's lustre was disgusting
beside the dimness which time seemed
to have thrown over the ancient ma
hogany of her friends drawing rooms.
and real gold dinner plates would not
have consoled her for not possessing
one genuine piece of Delft from a
Dutch t-grandmother.
one day she was walking brislSly
along Twenty-third street when she
saw a merry peddler selling some kind
of glue for broken chinaware. From
a hook he had swung plate which had
been mended with the glue, to prove
the efficiency of which he had a weight
attached to the other side of the plate.
All at once an idea occurred to her.
and in a spirit of gratitude to that
peddler she bought a bottle of the
stun.
She remembered that nearly every
piece of her friends real Delft had
been mended somewhere, which gave
IL the better appearance of genuineness.
Tim she went to a department store
and invested in some beautiful imita-
ton Delft and imitation old English
plates and things. She Rugged herself
happily all the way home. and she
could scarcely wait until her purchases
had arrived. The moment they had
been washed she took those plates one
by one and broke them, some in two
and others in three places, and then sat
down to mend them with her new glue,
taking all sorts of pains to make the
cracks show. When they had been
hung about the top of her dining room
wall none but the unkindest and most
suspicious eye could have suggested
that they were not genuine. At last
she had indicated her ancestors.
