Of course It did Itself. Nobody touched that dish. With the depravity of Inanimate objects, tt ran up against the filtcet or tumbled It self Into a Elnlc corner. It by the lenst possibility anybody knows about the mntter It Is sine to have been an acci dent, such ns occurtcd the other dav, when lu the kitchen of one of tho handsome hiaues of the city the cook placidly poured boiling water from the tea kettle Intel a bvuititul glass bo pitcher until the natuial lestilts eu Biud. The cook theieafter Insisted with calm nssiiiaiice Unit it wat "an acci dent." Whether priduced by nccldcnt or malice aforethought .1 chipped tlNh Is a lioirur to Its owner, who will gei.enilly piefcr It In the shape of a totnl wieck than with even the tiniest nick appai r nt. The aveinge mild of all work bat dlffeient Mows ami frequently ex ert Ises not a little Ingenuity, It would seem, In taking chips out of plates and saucer8 In Hystcm.it Ic iPidtr.whlle iv lnndlikss cup nffords supeilor chaims.

It is tneire than dllllitilt to convey cm adequate Idea of the cost of china ti tli" mind of the average kitchen divin ity One X have In mind broke a valu nblo Coalport cup. llchly jewelled nnel rare In design. The mistress sat down and cried. She didn't often show such weakness; but the cup und saucer was a gift from a loved friend and held value beyond the cost. The cook was really touched by such grief and on her afternoon tut she returned ptoudly coi.veylng an enormous moustuehe cup nnel saucer appropi lately labeled ' To one I love" In huso gilt letters. "It's very much' bigger ma'am, than the dinky little wan that fell over when I looked at it," she explained, "and It has a great bit of gold on It." What could the poor lady do? Like the other one to whom was presented a ten-cent dish somewhat larger than the one of cut glass, price llfteen dollars, that the second girl "dusted" one day, she couldn't say anything unless she were really vciy much" wiought up ln c'red. One Is always consumed with wonder ns to whether the domestics continue their march of devastation through their own china when they at tain to the ellanily of a home. China Isn't our only tieasuied pos session which suffers nicks, and the house-maids nnd cooks nien't the only iconoclasts. Theie are a great many people who cnloy nliking the dealest Idols we have known and we sue not privileged to charge them In dollnrs and cents for the costs. They take chips out of our now gloves by telling us that the paitlcular hi and we are wearing Isn't as satlsfactoiv ns a dlf feient one which they- have lound. They nick the new gown that was be fore complete and utteilv desliable In our estimation. We pier feel well dressed In It thereafter They scale a lough, jagged chip out c the new home that has cost so much sacilfice and so many anMnu.s days and nights, liy ie inniking sweetly: "What a dear little place It 1. but how veiv small vour looms seem. How do you manage when von want to entcitnln n large company " Peihaps the enteitnlnment of a multitude had not puttied Into the calculations when the pu-cious house was planned It was the home we wanted. The loot tree of our own, the spot whole tho.se ne.uest could be g.itheied, or with them the otheis whom vveie.ally wanted niound us. We may be veiv -onslblo, with stuidy, In dependent opinions ot our own, but somehow that hntetul little nk k Is evi dent nt times and we feel lather ie sentful tiiwaid the one who inllletd It upon the possession we had believed beyond eiitleislll Theie Is the peiton who 1 ompliments your youngest son thus- ' Hear me, what a line, handsome bov Joe Is growing to be.

Then there nio the peoplo who tnhel nicks out of your frlentls teal shatp. edged chips that 'gleam lu unlovely white patches against the soft coloi Ing tint made the be'autv of tho ones we love nnd ttust. They know Ihat yeiu pic lnutli attached to a eeitaln friend upon whe.in you look with rev erence, and suddenly one tiny they strike a spiteful chip out by saving lu response to your expressed admiration for her: "Yes, she Is ceitnlnlv veiy chatmlng and Is wonderfully nttruct ive, but did you evor hear that Utile story about her In younger days''" Of rout so you Immediately declaio that you didn't, nnd do not believe any llttlo stoiy thnt could be told derogatory to her and do not want to know about It, but It Is a chip out of your beautiful ticnsuio and loval and Hue as Is your friendship, you often wish thero weio some wnv of repairing that chipped place, so that you couldn't even icmetn. her that It was theie. That is tlm trouble with chipped chlnn nnd othe'r valued possesions You don't so much fear that other people will notice the Haws, because sometimes you might be able to cleveily contrive that they may be hidden, but what you do mind I your own consciousness that the de fect Is theic all the time. Sometimes the person elestruethelv inclined bleaks an ugly llttlo chip out of yenir faith, which Is never nguln so symmetrical and lovely. Sometimes It Is your belief In yoursclt which Is matrcd. This may not be such an li reparable calamity after all, as bv eaicful lendjustincnt eif position, a new standpoint may develop unexpected in unctions. It l.s moi o bitter when tho faith In one dear us vour own life h chipped even the tiniest bit. bv a malicious or tactless neqiinlnlHnre. Till Is Indeed 11 sonoiv, often more pitiless than death. When faith in some mortal has "become a passion ate intu'tlon" it Is alwavs n vvueiul thing to have It even faintly dlsllguied by 11 chance wind of a "frank" tilled pel son. oh, th(se awful flunk people nnd these eaieless sei v ants What a tllul tliev are to be sine.
