Imitation Pottery

TN attempting to decorate a I'M with Indian pottery it will be found that
the ware Is very expensive and not within the means Of every housekeeper
= The interesting specimens Of a crude art are very attractive yet the trouble
in their collection and the amount Of money expended does pay thu housewife
forh her work.

humble bean pot which is purchased at the corner grocery. This bean pot is
the exact size and shape Of many Of the Indian pieces. Almost any jar or
pickle pot will answer the same purpose. It is best to start the WORK with some
small ar or pot until the knack OF painting is learned; then almost my VAL
able piece of pottery can be decorated to the liking of the housewife. In the
art there is very little to learn nd The designs cal DO originated or copied from
designs are best is that the Indians in making their pottery never try to make
two pieces alike and whether working Oh a valuable blanket or jar they never
try to iuaate another piece which has been finished

As she spoke she leaned forward
again, and, closing her fan. almost laid
the tip of it upon Sir Percy's hand,
outstretched or the arm of his chair.
In another instant It would have been
a caress, but Sir Percy coolly moved
his hand and Mrs. Vernon quickly
withdrew the fan.

AS she spoke her eyes filed and two
large bright tears dropped upon her
cheeks. and she pressed her handker-

hand. Sir Percy had mean to be stern

THE WHIRL FozasaiT 5z7s q


Percy was interested. Mrs. Armytage
went sound asleep as usual, and the
lovers could talk with a sweet unre-
straint. Heretofore it was Sir Percy
who had risen promptly on the stroke
OF ten, but tonight it was a quarter
past before he stirred, and Lucy then
forced him away. He returned to his
chambers accompanied by the ghost of
his wrong-doing, and the black dog
who kept watch over him prevented
him from sleeping all night long.
The next afternoon at 5 o'clock Sir
Percy Carlyon was ushered into Gem
eral Talbott's n Alicia Vernon's
charming little drawing-room at the
hotel. AS he came in General Talbot
met him with both hands outstretched.
Sir Percy realized, as he always did in
General Talbott's presence, mat here
was q man OF no common mold. He
was small, bald and ~low-voiced, but
In distinction OF bearing n manner
there were few men superior to Gem
eral Talbot. This distinction also be-
longed to Alicia Vernon, and Sir Percy
could not but recognize it as she rose
and advanced toward him and gave
hin her hand. She was quite forty, and
showed 1t. Like most women of her
exquisite blonde type, each year left
a visible mark. Her chestnut hair had
lost much of it's lustrc, and her fine
white skin had little marks and lines
in it, like a crumpled roseleaf. She
had not the freshness and n~aturalness
which Sir Percy Carlyon reckoned the
chief charm of the American women
Alicia Vernon was the product of an
old civilization and showed it, but her
tall and stately figure retained all it's
symmetry and her eyes and her voice
and her smile-ah, they were match
less still! Her voice, low, soft and
clear, had q melancholy sweetness and
power of expression that Sir Percy
Carlyon had never known in any wom-
ms voice put hers, and her eyes, the
color of the violets. had in them a
depth of IRE and Pickering shadows
like the heart of an opal. Everything
about her was individual and dis
tinctive. Sir Percy was not much
vereed in the details of a woman's
dress, but he felt, rather h knew,
the beauty of the sweeping, pale blue
draperies which undulated about Alicia
Vernon and the seductive perfume
which exhaled from everything which
she wore and used. Hers was the
charm of the Shulamite.
In meeting Sir Percy her manner and
tone were perfectly calm, friendly and
composed. Toward her father she was
always perfect, Ind his air of tender,
chivalrous protection was touching and
beautiful.
The three sat around the fire and

How like the letter was to Alicia YER
non! Apparently so conventional, so
frankly friendly, and yet how different
was she to all OF this! Sir Percy Carl
yon had reached that agejand stage OF
life when he was scepticaI of reforma-
tons. One thing was certain, General
Taibott's presence ensured Alicia yer-
mons entree to the British Embassy,
and that h n Sir Percy would be
much thrown together. At this, rage
and shame possessed him. He saw at
a glance the grim possibilities of the
case, and they were enough to stagger

before him as 1T lay upon his study
table, and 1t seemed to bring contami-
nation with 1t. His sin and the shame

repented and had atoned as far as he
could, for the sin of his youth.
He rose, and, throwing hts arms wide,
despaired In his heart, and Their asked

his soul aspired. The thought of lucy

then it was written, and struggle We're
useless. If only he had not told Lucy
Armytage Of his love! She, poor child,
might be dragged into the degradation
which awaited him! He remembered
that he was to go to see Lucy that
evening after dinner. The joy he felt
at the thought of being with her was
poisoned by the black shadow of Alicia
vernon's presence in Washington. He
had to pass the hotel where she

1t. occurred to Sir Percy, a very short
time after his engagement, that the
sacrifices which he was prepared to
make for the sake of marrying the
woman he loved might not be so great
after all. Whenever he saw Lucy he
found that she had learned something.
She had picked up a new phrase, or
abandoned an old one which was not
in perfect taste; abe had learned to
curb ,her wit and to be on her guard
against those indiscreet words and &C.
lions which are harmless enough in o
young girl. but highly dangerous In the
wife Of g. diplomat. Sir Percy had be-
gun to believe all he heard Of the adapt
ability of the American woman after
studying Lucy Armytage. and he saw,
with profound pride, that Lucy was
forming herself to be his wife. One
thing only troubled him; should he on
fess to her then, or after their mar
rjage, the story of Alicia Vernon? 1t
was a dificult thing to tell to a girl
80 young as Lucy Armytage, and SO
euileless. and SO little familiar with
w~ickedness. If penitence could avail,
them he had atoned for that early
wrofgdoing. He concluded it would be
kjnd4r for him to walt until after their
marriage, when he could tell her the
whole painful story.
One afternoon, three weeks after Lucy
Arrsiytage had promised to become Lady
Cariyon. a letter was delivered at the
British Embassy for Sir Percy Carlyon.
One look at the clear, strong hand
writing made him urn pafe-it was
Alicia V~ernon's hand and the postmark
was Washington. He thrust the letter
into his pocket and, declining Lord
Baudesert's suggestion to come in to
tea, went back to his own chambers.
With latred n repugnance pulsating
all through him, he opened the letter
and read it.. TIE date was of that day,
and it was written from a fashionable
uptown hotel

Alicia Vernon. She said little, leaving
the conversation chiefly to her father
and Sir Percy. As they talked she sat
in a large chair, her head hall turned
toward Sir Percy and holding between
the fire and her face an antique fan
painted by Greuze. She a been a
slip of a girl when her lips had sought
Sir Perey's. and had shown him. in
triumph, her long, bright hair. but in
some things she was unchanged. and
Sir Percy felt that a STRIPPING
of today. such as he had been
in the old days, would not be safe with
Mrs. Vernon. While they were talk
ing Lord Baudesert's card was brought
to General Talbot. On it was scrawled:
MY first chance to take the air.
tout has me by the leg, so come down
Inc drive with me for an hour"
General Talbot rose at once. Sir
Percy had no excuse to leave at the
same time. and remained perforce.
When the door was shut on General
Talbot Sir Percy Carlyon's face
changed into the hardness of a flint,
and he sat silent, waiting to see what
position Mrs. Vernon would take
with him. She, too, remained silent for
a while, fixing upon him two wells of
violet light. The setting u streamed
through a western window upon Sir
Percy's face, and she studied it care
fully. No; he was not handsome wen
as a young man, and at thirty-eight
his moustache was growing gray n
his hair scanty, and there were crows
feet in the corners of his eyes. But
what did that matter to her? He was
the most considerable man upon whom
she had ever tried her power.
: AFTER ALL" she said presently, her
low voice filling the rooms as a trained
singers softest note is heard at the
Paris opera. II was right even in my
youth, and knew that before you was q

How did you know that asked Sir
Percy.
Partly by observation and partly by
a clever guess. Iihave been staying In

lister, and, quite naturally, we spoke of

Percy Carlyon turned away his head
and a dull flush dyed his sunburnt face.

prescience. / was very young when

taking refuge in commonplace.
Then there was silence again for q
time. The freight played over Mrs.

of pale blue draperies, and over the
tip OF her pale blue slippers. upon
which stones sparkled, Her eyes were
