Ma got a letter from my Ant Fan

know Herbit was 8 yeers old last
Sa ttiday, not that I'm reminding you
jest so you can send him q delayed
present because nuthing is ferther
from my mind.
Enyway. Pawleen, his father and !
decided to give him nice box Of
paints for his berthday and at the
same time kill herds with one stone
by discovering if he has inherited
eny of his grandfathers talent for
painting on his fathers side.
That was on Sundey morning, and
on Sundey afternoon a cupple of nay
bers dropped in, certain Mr.. and
Mrs. Bundy, nice people in a way but
not mutch socially and we forgot all
about Herbit until suddenly our wife
cat Witey wawked innocently into
the room with big blue spots painted
all over his back. The color combina-
ton was RELY quite nice, although
the site was somewhat of a shock
Well. with that we took up the trail,

Fourth Day.

OFF SAN SALVADOR, January 20
It was toward dusk that our eye
first caught sight of the twinkling
lighthouse on San Salvador-our
"landfall." This barren little island
now slowly passing by our port side
was the first point touched by Co
lumbus when he discovered the New
World.
1t was here that the intrepid old
navigator first dropped anchor-and
waded ashore. When his foot first
touched 'ary land he knelt and
Solemnly offered thanks TO Cod
thinking that he had discovered In
dia, the land Of fabulous fortune and
untold riches.
Alas, If Chris could but see the
place now he might not have been
so profuse with his thanks.
San Salvador, or Watling's Island.
as it is sometimes called, is the most
desolate of all the Antilles. Today
there is a population of fewer than
500 souls, of whom only are
vhite-the British commissioner and
the lighthouse keeper and his assist
ant. Thousands of boats pass close
by it each year, but only one stops,
and that is a food ship sent out
annually from England with supplies
for the lonesome islanders, who are
unable to wrest d living from the
barren soil.

So the dura ability of china is thing
worth considering But ycu say, II
didn't know there was anything the
shopper could do about that"' Now the
durability of china is dependent upon
just two things-the body and the glaze.
The body" is the material from
which the ware is made Clay is, of
course, the foundation. Glaze" is the
surface developed by firing The dishes
seen on the market range all the way
from the unglazed clayware with
opaque. porous body that is fired only
once to the fine porcelain made from
Kaolin clay and fired at intense heat
until it is translucent In between these,
in point of hardness and translucency,
comes much of our decorated china,
which is double fired.
The higher the glaze and the more
compact the body the more brittle your
china will be. Then. too, IL the glaze
and the body are not suited to each
other the glaze shrinkS and causes
Grazing" Porcelainware is thin and
light, with hard inner body It is
hard glazed, and even IL the glaze is
broken 1t is not absorbent-you can test
this out yourself by using a drop of
ink. The familiar, heavy, white table
stitutions is called "whiteware" or
'stoneware'-and is recommended main
ly by it's Responsiveness. Earthenware
is used largely in homes, and is much
more lovely than it sounds Much ~
our English and American war belongs
to this class. II has a porous body that
takes beautiful glaze. When intense
heat is applied 1t becomes stronger, and
is called 'vitreous wear" China is more
durable than porcelain, and porcelain, in
turn. is more durable than earthen-
ware.
Further you can do something about
it, by selecting only those shapes and
forms that are stable and firmly Sal
anced 50 that they do not upset e~sily.
Avoid knobs and handles that seem to
invite knocking off or are hard to gasp
And II is just as well to remembeT that
oVerglaze decorations will wess off
wash off with strong soaps or posders
while the underglaze is fixed at tenn
perature that fuses the body and glaze
together and so they are almost indie
structlble. However it is not necessary
to conf1ne our choice to the latter type.

Cnkes and Ice Cream
