is easy to see that you know moth
ing at all about shells. They are
hobby of mine, and l am foolish
enough to expect all the world to
share my enjoyment of them. This
one is a black abalone washed in
by the tide"
begged the little old lady to tell
me how the abalone lived, and where
il lived, and what it was good for,
anyway" Once sure of my interest,
she related many of her personal ad-
ventures in search of the giant Chiffon
the argonant and the chambered
nautilus. Thrill .ng tales she told of
attacks by drills and boring-sponges
upon the unoffending oyster; affect
tionately she spoke of the shy ways
Ef razor-clams and cookies. Then
she led me to tented spot on the
beach where one might have shells
cleaned and polished; and here saw
the recently acquired abalone grow
into a gorgeous saucer of FURNISHED
black, streaked with green and pur-
pie; saucer which, when reversed,
showed a pearly lining rejecting all
the tender early-morning tints Of the
very sky beneath which it was born.
Instantly I was fired with mad
desire to go adventuring on my own
behalf. l besought the little old lady
to tell me where and how to begin;
and my eager interest was reward
ed by an Invita- on to visit her bun
galow, where she opened to my, as
tonished eyes such aworld of romance
and beauty as made me weep for the
shelless days Ct my childhood.
Since that memorable day l have
come to have a profound respect for

t sesting in that they know at least
one subject well enough to enter in
to its various qualifications with easy
Familiarity; and they are infallfbly
useful in being able to direct idle
folk, young or old, in employing their
leisure moments toward some definite
end.
