THE fact that she really loses two

GOLD LEAF

There appears to be some mystery
about the origin of gold leaf. 1t is
found, for example, in connection with
the most ancient known mummies, hav
ing been used for covering teeth, ton
que, skin, ETC. Sometimes it is also
found on the collins Gold leaf was
also used on the tombs and monuments
of ancient Egypt. The process of
making gold leaf has thus been known
since the eighth century, B. C. In
the eleventh century it seems to have
attained as high a degree of perfec-
ton as today The gold leaf on some
ancient Grecian pottery indeed is as
chin as that now used.
