wave which threw her on her beam

One more proof that all is not gold
that glittcrs is found in the fact that
much Of the gold lettering seen on
signs and also much of the gliding of
picture frames has no gold whatever
about il. Among laymen the opinion
prevails that all such decoration re-
qures the actual use of gold leaf. but
the reality is different, and sub
stitute has been widely used for some
time. The exact effect of gold is Sc
cured by using a leaf of either silver or
aluminium under yellow paint. The
metal backing gives the required lustre
and the paint gives the required color.
This method can not be used in all
cases. because the paint IS of peculiar
quality and requires putting on with an
even thickness. For this reason it is
generally applicable only to flat sur
faces. Parts OF a gilded picture frame
which are nodded into waving surfaces
generally require genuine gold leaf to
cover Philadelphia Record.
