It attracted her attention directly. She looked at it, took it up, looked more earnestly, aud the.\, laying it gently down, she calmly rose, gathered her ample skirts about her, and straightway took her lewe, not even saying food- bye. Certainty nothing was further from our intention than to give olfenee. We merely wished to attract her.attention to the piperweight as a work of art.
