B L A C K nearly drove Ted wild telling him not to do this or not to do that, and allithe while she was eyeing the easel picture of Stephen apprehensively, and wondering how Anne would like it. To all of them, it seemed that the interminable minutes would never end. But. finally there eame the sound of an automobile, and footsteps coming up the walk. The door opened and Stephen ad- vanced proudly with Anne on his arm. And in that moment Theodora saw the faintly apprehensive look that had lain deep in her mother's eyes melt away be- fore Anne's impetuous onrush. Then she saw ber father clapping his big' son on the back and taking' Anne into his arms as if she were already his daughter. And Ted, the irrepressible, was enthusiastically shaking her hand. And to think that she had doubted this big' brother of hers who hated all pretense! To think that she had thought, that he roula' have brought home a wife who would deem them old-fashioned! And as she, too, turned to greet the girl who shared her brotheris love with her, she saw that in Anne's eyes was only love- ligrht and that she was smiling, through tear-wet lashes, at the picture of a little boy in kilts who smiled baek at her from behind a bowl of red dahlias. fxxiiii nwxi M1 2' ii.- awp U44 : QPR?

BLACK NVc can start off with a cherry cocktail in those tall, stemmed glasses, and then have oyster soup, just piping hot. The meat course ought to be veal outlets, or roast chicken, or something like that. XVe can have a fruit salad, and parker house rolls, and olives, and French peas to go with it. Then we can have maple mous- see, or pineapple ice, or perhaps a Nesel- rode pudding for dessert. Vile ought to have yellow-shaded candles in those old mahogany candlesticks, too. They'd go beautifully with the dining-room. And, of course, we'll have all the nice china, and the real silver serving-set.. Nettie could be maid as wcll as cook and we really ought to engage a butler for the evening. 1,111 sure, too, that any caterer could make a lovely XV9lC0l1lGFll0ll1C cake to put in the center of the table. Those tall, palace-like ones, you know. Here Theodora stopped from sheer lack of breath, and Ted, who had been smould- ering all through this long speech, broke in. Say, Sis, he exploded, you forgot the French chef, andthe fiorist, and the decorator, and remember, we really ought to have a footnian in livery, and a chauf- feur. NVell, I was wondering why we eouldn't have pork chops, or maybe a chuck roast, proffered Dad, innocently, his face' suspiciously serious. Dad! At the shocked expression on Theodoi-a's face the whole family burst into hearty laughter, which forced even the girl her- self to smile somewhat reluctantly. Theodora, that would make a beauti- ful table, I know, and everything would go off just the way we wanted it. But, little daughter, Anne is just folks. I know her father is wealthy and she's had every luxury, but all the same, she's just folks. Our Stephen eouldn't love a snob. He hates pretense. So I think we'll just risk it and let Anne find us the way we always are. Hooray for Mumsie. cried Ted, wav- ing his handkerchief wildly in the air, and causing so much commotion that the Literary Cat jumped in fright to his fa- 'ar vorite perch on Theodora's shoulder: i'E,l'UllIIf hutlers, footmen, chefs, and ehauffeurs, also cocktails, and unpro- nouueablc puddingsf' U 'She who is convinced against her will 'Is of the same opinion still.' Theodora, laughing, quoted the conplet and left the room, feeling that the house of Exeter was doomed. So, in spite of the girl 's objections, the house on the morrow was not dressed up as though it were to greet a queen. Instead, its billowy white curtains and shining knoekers breathed the very es- sence of home. In the dining-room, the table was set simply and daintily, the crackling wood tire in the library invited the weary travelers to rest and to seek pictures in its glowing depths. Tlieodora moved restlessly about the cheery room, straightening a curtain here, putting a book into place there. She patted her mother 's hair into position, al- though it had been perfectly arranged before, and straightened her father's long black tie, remarking that she did wishhe would wear a more up-to-date one.

AND BLACK RINTING, which is the art of impressing upon paper or other substance the character of the letter coated with ink, was invented by 1438. It was not until 145-1 or 1455 that a book was published. Gutenberg and his scribe, S-ehoeffer, overcame enormous diffi- culties when they first attempted to pri11t. They had to invent an ink thick enough to stick to the type, a press in which to print the page., and a scheme by which the type could he fastened in the press. And even with this crude, cumbersome equip- ment it took years to pub- lish their iirst book. Since that time print- ing has undergone ,some changes in the machinery, and the efficiency is much greater in consequenceg but the basic principle of types coated with i11k be- Tl-IE ART OF PRINTING ' By Ralph Bording 5165 f on tlzid L sv, cfgli- I Amir!

To Schoeffer is given the credit of cut- ting the first type. The punch was made first, and from this the matrix. The matrix was placed in the mold face down and molten metal pou1'ed into the mold. For making type this method is still used. Black letter was the first face cut, of which the German type is the direct descendant. lt was Jen- sen that first made a suc- cess of the Roman letter which is now used every- where except ill Germany. Some of the type-founders who have left their mark on type fashions are Van Dyke, Elzevir, a11d the English founder, Caslon.
