George, be little prudent!"
But George refused point-blank to
have the thing in their living room.
"She knows it's horrible, Lucy" he
said, "and If she wants to quarrel with
me let her have her way"
Which was precisely what she did
have. For a few days later Aunt
Mary did come up to town from Bay
ards Bridge and did drop in unexpect-
edly, and the mantel WAS bare save
for two antique Pompeiian vases.

For Lucy had run into her bedroom
when the old lady was announced to
get the china vase; but she had not
had time to place 1t upon the mantel
and stood guiltily hiding 1t beneath
her apron.

And with these words she stalked
out of the apartment, leaving Lucy in
tears.
She told George of the happening
when he returned from his studio.
"Give me that Internal vase" he
shouted. "I'w going to break 1t to

think she is going to doom us to life

But Lucy hid the vase from him.

AUNT MARY WAS ODD
Strange Way in Which She Aid
ed Her Favorite, Hot-Head-
ed Nephew
BY FRANK FllSoN.

"a present from Aunt Mary!" said
young Mrs. Strang as the oddly-wrap-
ped parcel was handed to her by the
postman. 81 just know that it's some
thing odd, George"
1t must be odd, because Aunt Mary
was odd. She was queer little old
spinster, with the kndest heart and
the crankiest manners that ever went
into a combination. But though she
had quarreled with almost all her
relatives and then made up with
them, and alternately cut them out OF
her will and then put their names
back into multitudinous codicils, she
had always kept the warmest spot in
her heart for George Strang, her hand
some artist nephew.
She had, indeed, supported him dur
ing that period which comes to every
artist, when he was struggling for
fame and existence in a large city
against the wishes and despite the dis
gust of his own family. And now
that he had married pretty Lucy Bent
wick and was in comfortable, IL not af-
fluent Gil cumstances, she had sent
him a wedding gift.
"A china vase!" exclaimed George
Strang in disgust as he eyed the
queer-looking object in his hand.
1t was. indeed, the most repulsive
looking vase that he had ever seen.
1t was rotund and highly decorated
with painted pink roses, and upon it
was printed in small, black letters:
You may break, you may shatter
the vnse If you will,
But the scent of the roses will cling
to it still"
Blank" said George. 1t was not
blank" that he said, but it sounded
like that, because Lucy promptly
closed his mouth with her hand.
"She might have sent me some
thing that we could keep on our man.

ing upon the object with a shudder.

French Fashions
B. Feature Economy

New York.-There Is some exceed
ingly good feature about the French
gowns that are beginning to arrive in
America, which will not cause disap-
proval over here. That is the striking
similarity between afternoon and eve
ming costumery, according to fashion
writer.
1t was once said, in a slightly con-
temptuous manner, that in certain sec
tions of this country the women wore
gulmpes In their ball gowns for after
noon occasions and that no one was
capable of such an economical combi
nation but the American woman, or at
least, no other woman who moved in
fashionable circles.
1t has long been the opinion of the
French, whenever they were sufficient
ly lenient to be interested in the Amer
lean type of dressing, that we never
knew the exact shade of difference
that existed between an afternoon
gown and all other kinds of gowns.
The French women have often said,
in their polite manner, that they could
not understand why the American was
lacking in that finer feeling which au-
tomatically governs the choice of
clothes.
Did Not Always Change.
Now, whether or not the American
lacked the finer feeling or whether she
was conscious that custom produced
fashions, she continued to dress at ten
o'clock in the morning in the clothes
that she would wear until seven o'clock
In the evening. In truth, she did not
always change for dinner or the thea
ter. She went on through the entire
routine Of the day with its diversified
interests, its business appointments, its
marketing, shopping and restaurant
lunching, its afternoon teas, weddings,
card parties, home dinners and the
play in coat and skirt that should
only be worn, as the French put 1t, in a
public mob.
The American woman has always
held up to herself, and very earnestly,
that she was too busy a woman to
change her clothes several times dur
ing the day. Let the women of the
European nations do what they would,
she thought, in a social atmosphere
that was fostered by generations of
leisure and inactivity. Her own en-
vironment, she said, called for a diff
ferent adjustment of clothes and life.
So, as rule, she presented n somber
appearance at all those social festivi-
ties that were intended to make wom-
en- gay as birds of paradise.
However, this manner of dressing
has changed. For several years a
woman has not depended on her tailor
ed suit to do the work for every hour
of the day.
This transition to better dressing has
come about through the domination of
the one-piece frock. AS soon as the
American could be divorced, or rather,
wedged away from her lifelong friend,
the tailored suit, she found that the
one-piece frock had its attractions.
She was willing to accept 1t in tall
ored style, but she began to play with
1t bit and make it suitable for her
leisure time. No sooner had she ac-

FOR THOSE IN HIGH PLACES
Immense Cost of Imperial Porphyry
Put 1t Beyond Reach of All But
the Very Rich.

All students of the sculpture and
architecture Of the Imperial Roman
age are familiar with the magnificent
purple stone known as imperial por-
phyry, but 1t is probable that but
few of the students know of the i'm
mense difficulties that were encounter
ed in the procuring of the stone Sc
much esteemed in that age of luxury.
Weigall, who personally visited the
region whence this stone emanated,
reached the conclusion that the great
distances between the quarries and
the places where the stone was used
must have given the price boost"
SO that the porphyry was beyond all
except the rulers of the earth.
1t appears that the quarries from
which this porphyry was obtained are
situated in the eastern Egyptian des-
ert, that region known as Gebel Duk-
han, "The Hills of Smoke" The desert
is about 27 miles from the Red SEQ,
opposite the southern end of the pen
insula of Sinai. >.
The quarries extended here anG
there into the hillside without any re-
semblance of regularity. The blocks
of porphyry were pried from out of
the rock wherever the work could be
most easily done. They were trans
ported down the Nile, and, in fact
to Rome, in the rough. This purple
porphyry was not known to the an
Client Egyptians. Some Roman pros
pectors must have secured the desert
to find it. The barren coast of that re-
gion was harborless. Each block Of
porphyry must, therefore, have been
carried across the desert to Kench, on
the Nile, and thence shipped by river
barge to the sea. Then 1t became
necessary to transship it to the great
Mediterranean galleys, and thus con-
yeyed across the treacherous waters
to the port Of Rome.
There is no other place in the worlo
where this porphyry is to be found,
and when the quarries ceased to be
worked, some time previous to the
seventh century the use of that stone
had to cease also, nor has 1t since
been procurable.

do her worst"
And Aunt Mary did her worst speed
lily, for she took 1t into her grabbed
old mind to have a sudden seizure a
week later and die. But she had had
time to carry her threat into effect.
ITO my nephew George" the will
read, 81 had intended to leave the bulk
of my property. But inasmuch as his
love for me could not survive little
trial that made of it, l bequeath to
him instead the china vase which Is
now in his wife's possession"
Yet, after all, It seemed that Aunt
Mary had had singularly little to leave.
For what she did leave to her dozen
nephews and nieces amounted to ex-
actly ninety-seven dollars and eighteen
cents apiece.
George" said Lucy in tears, when
they got home from the funeral, "if
Aunt Mary has any knowledge of what
is happening now, don't you think it
would please her II we kept the vase
on our mantel after all?"
81 tell you what Wen do" said
George. "Well put it on the mantel
each anniversary of her death as a
peace offering. The rest of the year
please keep 1t out of my sight"
Eyes, dear" said Lucy. Suppose

She brought it out of it's place of
concealment and deposited it beside
the Pompeiian jars. George looked at
it-then suddenly, overcome by pas
sion, he dashed it to the floor The
vase broke into a thousand pieces.
"Georgel" exclaimed his wife
wretchedly. "How could you have the
heart to do that? Dear Aunt Mary!
Why-there's paper inside!"
There was indeed, for the vase was
hollow, and on the floor lay long,
thin, folded package.
''BillsI" shouted George Strang, as
he unfolded it. And he shook out, one
after another, nine bills of the value
of thousand dollars apiece.
Look! There's a letter!" said Lucy
Strang, picking up a piece of paper
covered with Aunt Mary's queer, crab
bed hieroglyphics.
my dear, hot-headed nephew"
George read aloud. Forgive cranky
old woman who loves you with all her
heart. l know how you will hate this
vase. If you are hypocrite enough to
keen II or unkind enough to give IL
away, you will never read this note.
But II you are honest enough to fol-
low your impulse and shatter it you
will be glad and forgive your loving
old aunt"
Dear old Aunt Mary!" said George
SIrang. Lucy, dear, I'm going to have
the old thing glued together and keep
it in memory of her."
"Not-not-" began Lucy.
Yes, dear, upon the living room

France sends the narrow silhouette
to help us in the conservation of wool.
She sends us embroidery of wooden
beads and fringes of twine in order to
give work to those who need it and to
substitute cheap form of ornamental
ton for an expensive one.
She sends US all the common, every
day fabrics such as gingham, cotton,
voile, canvas and sacking. She teaches
us to be economical and go to the attic,
through her use of old laces Of every
kind. She sends US high puttees and
cloth-top shoes in order that we may
do with little leather.
She makes fashionable American
Indian embroideries so that we may
go right into our own West and find
pieces of material and inspiration that
will build us new gowns without much
cost.
She sends us piece-meal gowns which
are made from two, three and four
odds and ends of material skillfully
combined to produce a harmonious
whole, but, mark you, to also provide
n way to use up short pieces of fabric
which we have in the house or can
purchase in the shops.
She sends us the thin crepe de chine
petticoat and the plaid voile blouse to
save laundry and soap and flour. She
uses small bouquets and large, single
flowers for trimming instead of ex-
pensive buckles and other costly trifles.
She knows these flowers can be made
at home or re-dlpped in good dye

Now, as a crowning effort of con-

1t has indefinite variety, often 1t blazes
