a p"t dish, by association dear- Is found
to hnva mysteriously netiulred a sim

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

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

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

seem, In taking chips out of plates

The houvemlsliess may In desperation
do Ido to keep cut a poitlon of the ex
pense out ot the desti oyer's wages, but
is suie tti feel eiy uncomfortable af
ter taking this cenirse and to bo eon
Mnced thut the annoyance of the loss
Is uggtavated by such a process.
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

wonder ns to whether the domestics
continue their march of devastation
through their own china when they at

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
