REPAIRING CHINA AND
OLD BRIC-A-BRAC

~ ELMA was the only girl in our
set who went to a boarding
school. Whenever she came back
for her vacation or for the holidays she
was sure to be surrounded by bevy of
girls who fairly hung on her words and
who in the privacy Of their rooms aped
her gestures and affected her walk and
manner of speech. On the fringe of this
admiring circle hovered. To me, Sell
ma was1 celestial being listened with
bated breath to her stories OF college
life, thiciSly sprinkied with jolly pranks
and well-seasoned with the inevitable
midnight repast of fudge, olives and
pickles. and her tales of staying awake

cinated me beyond measure. To be
finished" in boarding school became
my one incentive in life.

day when my parents pricked my gayU-
coiored bubble and ! saw my cherished
hope vanish My father treated the
whole matter as a joke, but my mother
eyes grew misty as she gently told me
that going to college was out of the
question and that il was all they could
do to keep me in the public school until
graduated. My mother was staunch
believer in work as a psnaeea, and in
order to keep my mind from dwelling
on my disappointment she made ar
rsngements with neighboring woman
to teach me china painting in return for
some of her excellent preserves.
