OLD STAFFORDSHIRE CHINA ' And so quaint ! said the middle-aged lady. If I remember my German, Krumholtz means 'crooked woodf And so childlike! just look! I know it's old Staffordshire !', You mean 'Look once !' corrected the girl. That's what she said-'Look once !' And to get them for next to nothing ! The middle- aged lady stroked a dark-blue pitcher on her lap. In an ancient hand-made substantial basket on the floor were other articles of blue ware-a tea-pot, a sugar- bowl, and a half dozen cups and saucers. That's the way to collect antiques-go to the owners. Her voice was almost hysterical. !'And don't let them set their own price 5 just lay down the money. They haven't the remotest idea what things are worth. I believe I'll go back and get more .... What did you say? Startled, the ladies lifted their heads from contem- plation of the blue china. Into the window projected a face and the butt end of a whip. They shriekedg George looked like a bandit, so black was his beard, so glaring his eye. He pointed with his whip. Where do those dishes come from F We bought them. Looking round anxiously, the ladies were relieved to see their chauffeur returning. And paid for themf' Those are my wifels great-grandmother's dishes, said George. Are they that old! She didn't say to whom. they belonged. She has no business to sell them. The chauffeur, arriving, stepped to his seat. If they were her great-grandmother's, she can cer- tainly do as she pleases with them. The older lady nodded to the chauffeur. What's hers is minef, George held tight to the window. We are one. And that basket is not hers at allg it's mine. Pardon, sir, said the chauffeur. What? George stepped down from the running- board and went forward. Unaccustomed to this polite form of address, he believed the chauffeur was about to side with him. But the chauffeur sat like an image and the car began to move softly. To save himself, George pressed back against the wagon. ' VARIATION OF THE TULIP ' fs N Folk art is the art detfeloped by the connnon inan, who is not primarily an artist. The greatness of folk art lies in the fact that it is the reflection of a home- loving, soil-lowing and peace-loving people. In addition Io being pleasing to the eye, it nifnst be nsefnl and practical. These illustrations prove the wide use to which the tulip design has been put. The three suggested here are: the tnlip shaped hinge and lock made of nzgetal, the geometrical quilt design inade of cnt niaterial, and a painted design of a tulip growing in an nrn. On the urn itself are sketched seeds, inasnznclz as the flower grows from the seeds.
