Lat ma warn you not to try any elay

Angara Into tha atioky anaaa, Tou must
learn to lora It and by and by tha Tary

flngara.
Tha tlla haa bean aal acted as iha sub

it la tha aaalest thlngr to attempt. You
ran acaroely fall If you follow directions
carefully. To get tha clay you muat ga
to aa art a to re or pottery and buy a
roll of clay, tta plica la vary low
Tha contents of a tlla are worth from
two to flva cants. Tha firing and glazing
bring up tha price to fifty cent or mora.
Buy ready mixed clay, If possible, and
kaap It In a dampened cloth (preferably
canton flannal) rolled about with a btt
of oilcloth to keep tha moisture In. re
watting It dally.
Tou mlfrht begin your work by making
a tlla for the tea table. It la used to
kaap tha teapot from scorching the bur
ntah of tha table. Such tiles ara from

half to three-quarters of an Inch thick,
when finished Begin by drawing, on a
piece of manlla wrapping paper (It must
be quite free from creases or folds) a

mental to aucceeaful completion of the
tlla Tou need no tool for thla work
other than your ten Angara and a rule
to "equare up" the eldoa of the tlla.
Smooth the tup of ttie tile, aee that tt la

then you are ready for the deeign.

aquara of paper, to the tile, drawing
right over the dealgn. The damp clay
will receive thla daalgn aa though It

When the paper la removed, the dealgn
