Sir GeOrge could not find it in his heart to speak werds that should bring a cloud on his happy countenance. Eddie and Mabel were somewhat like each other, both being men darker than the rest of the faintly, who were rather Saxon in their gen- eral appearance. Mabel, or "Queen Mulae or "the queen," as she was in- scriminately called) on account of 'a, little stately walk she had that con- trasted fennity with her face, and man- ner, which were gay in tiee extreme, had dark eyes of a soft hazel, and hair nut -brown to match. She was quite as tall as her sister, and, though by no means as beautiful, was pret- ty enough to create a sensation any- where. At eighteen she was an in- corrigible flirt, but amiable and sweet enough to prevent her from running into extremes, and ausing uneasiness In the home circle, Young mete adored leer, and old men did their best to pet and spoil her—ineffectually. For all that, however, calm Mildred was more the "hearth -angel" titan she was, To her, as to their mother, came all the boys, with the numerous griefs and annoyances that usually be- set a sehool-boy'e path. Charles was very toad of asking her advice, and Eddie believed most firmly in her wisdom; generally addressing her un- der the title of "Minerva." Her father and mother had few secrets from her, and even Florence, who was lightly self-sufficient, and given to aseert her- self, at times, with astonishing bold -- sees, lied been known, on two or three occasions, to come all the way from Ryelantle, to ask elildred's opinion upon certain 'subjects. Mildred at lame and Mildre'd abroad were very different pereons. She was most capable of loving, but her unfor- tunate coldness of demeanor prevented this from being universally acknow- ledged. Only her own people knew her. tender, loving heart, and returned her aftection in kind. 11,1:lei:re were two other boy, mere youngsters, named George and Ernest, whe were at present undergoing the discipline of, school in some distant 0 Sir George had discovered some Yeats previously, that be was, not as 'well up'. in this world's goods as a man had need to be with seven grow- ing -up children.

But this state of things only lasted a very few days indeed, and at the end of that time, his third hunter hexing fallen, lame, one of those disposed of was bought back again,at a very dif- ferent price from that paid for it to Sir- George, and presentey the other fol- lowed suit; after which the master gave up the gloomy ,penance; to the great reliet of the household at King's Abbott, winawere considerably put out by it, and b.a.ving kissed his wife, did not go round the farm for seveiet days. 5 Lady Caroline, ,of course,' scion clie- covered that they were re:difficulties —Indeed Sir George's lace was incaP- abie;of concealing a, secret—and then Mildeed was told; upon which they. spenttrather a low-spirited day, these two women, in "mamnaties" noudoir, discussing probabilities and improba- bilities, and the selling. of "papa's" hunters, until Mildred at length sug- gested tbat the annual vivit to London should be given up—for this year at all events, This was a severe blow to the mother, It was during a London season that Florence had =paged her little affair so comfortably, whereby side had falleninto such a pleasant place as Ryelands—Florence, who' was neither as beautiful nor as sweet as her Mildred, who might, the fond mother believed, mann', a marquis if so inclined, indeed, last mason when Miss Trevanion made her second appearance, a desirable young baronet had laid his heart rind a very respect- able fortune at her feet; and, though Mildred had seen fit' to reject both his heart and the respectable fortune on somea very insufficient grounds, still •that was no reason why this year another desirable • young baronet might not do likewise and be accepted.

The Portland vase has been mentioned several times in these notes upon antiques, arid it again comes up as the inspiring motive in the art of glass scuipturieg, an ma which must have been practis- ed iravery early times among the an - tient' Greeks, in the opinion at the writer of these notes, as far back. as the fifth century before the Christian era. This opinion was forined during the time when the Portland vase was reproductd in its original material, glass, in the seventies of the last cen- tury, and was based upon the his- toric fact that Phiclias—who about 420 B. C. produced this class of low relief sculpture—worked in all the thext existing mediums, as gold, alt - ver, bronze, braes, marble, and wood, and though 11 12 largely guesswork to name period for the origin of the. Portland vase, there aro good grounds for supposing that the great ecuiptor of the Parthenon marbles tised glass also. • •••• One cantiot wonder why sculptural; -glass; in its highest form of treat- ment,, is not sowidely known to the general Public as other fine arts, when the time, labor and skill' requite ed to produce it is considered. The time and labor zonsidetations were not such important factors with the ancients who cultivated thiseexquieite art, when perfection only was the ainu. coo and purpose, yet no donbt they And a eae,yet i groat deal to do with the limitation of the number of specimens, c aTI ihyhase artist sett hoefr ta -day,- r, nvailto usually produces thts work coramer- is pleasant to record that oven these considerations can be put aside cote- sionally and the best et work given for the sake of art alone. With a knowledge of the vast technical difficulties to be overcome - in reproducing antique modele modern methods, light is thrown upon the wonderful skill and ingenuity of the artists of ancient times. At first the Portland vase wee supposed to be of natural formation, and many ex- plications were offered on this subject, as well as upon the story its decora- tion illustrated, abut Wedewood's study of the original, preperatory to reproducing it in fired clays entirely dispelled this suppositioa as to mater- ial, and established the fact that it 1,ms an. artificial substancee-glass.— and not chalcedonic. To have carved the vase from a natural stone would not have been such an advance in the arts as the creation of an artificial substance as the medium for tho skill of the producer, nor would it have offered the 'aeries inspirations to later craftsmen.

Hhe career of Rembrandt, now gen- erally acknowledged to be one of the very greatest of painters, is an illus- tration of the fickleness of popular ap- prove". During the last twenty-three years of his life he disappeared "in a shadow like that which envelops the mystery of his. painting." In "Sketches of Great Painters," a book by Edwin Watts Chubb, there is an interesting paragraph—interesting alike to the philosopher and to the lover of art. "A generation after the death of Rembrandt his great-nephew observed that 'a short time ago.thg ige norance of reputed connoisseurs war, so gross with regard to the work of the mighty Rembrandt that it was possible to buy one of his portraits for sixpence.' "Two centuries later an American millionaire, according to current re- ports, paid $600,000 for one production, 'The Mill.' When he died 13 florins were spent on his funeral; in 1906, when celebrating his tercentary, Ley- den and Amsterdam spent thousands in his honor. When he lived his house, Saskires home, was -sold under the bammer of the sheriff; now the municipality has purchased the rro- party, which has become the shrine of worssipful admirers, who came from all parts of the earth to see the plaee where once lived Rembrandt:' Within a generation of his work criticism be- lieved that 'the vulgar and.prosaie as- pects of e subject were the only ones he was capable of noting' and that his Wee a 'manner founded on delusion,' "To -day we say that Rembrandt was universal in his sympathy, seeing where others were blind; that the rat- catchee as well as the saint, the aged beggar as well as the prince, the wrin- kled old Dutch VIOUW as well as Cup- id, were seen as worthy of tho inter- Pretieg brush of the painter or needle of the etcher; that he is of the race of Michelangelo Lunt Velasquez, of luau and Raphael, of Leonardo and Rub- ens."
