Satisfied With Her Work.
It was noticed that the woman
devoted many more hours to mirror
gazing than formerly. "I can't
tell' she said with dreamy satisfac
tion, "how many times I have
caught people, especially women,
snapshotting me recently."
'T. shouldn't be 60 puffed up about
it if I were you' said the brute of
a man. 'It wasn't your good looks
that attracted them. They were
taking pictures of your dresses, 60
they could copy the best points in
their own clothes."
"In that case' said the woman
after a moment's visible disappoint
ment, I feel more highly compli
mented than if they had photo
graphed me. Nature is responsible
for me, but I designed my clothes
myself." '
" Kaolin.
The name kaolin is said to be
derived from a hill near Kingtih
chin, in China, called Kaoling,
where the clay was first found in
considerable quantity. The kaolin
earth was first sent to Europe by a
Jesuit missionery of Kingtihchia
about 1795. A similar clay was soon
afterward found near Schneeberg,
Germany, and used in the manufac
ture of porcelain, thus laying the
foundation of the famous Dresden
ware. Kaolin is found in Nebraska
and in some of the eastern states.
