Sometimes a variation in tone can be obtained merely by using a bit of heavier glass in some one spot. Again the effect must be obtained by the use of paint."

Cabot said in a low tone. "It might get lost." Then there was a confusion of farewells, and the girl rejoined her friends, who had gone through into the next room. It was not until she was well out of ear-shot that any one spoke. Then Jean, who had been silent throughout the entire interview, exclaimed: "Oh, isn't she beautiful! Isn't she the very loveliest lady you ever saw, Giusippe?"
Hannah was eager to open the Boston house and air it; Jean rejoiced that each throb of the engine brought her nearer to her beloved doggie; Uncle Bob's fingers itched to be setting in place the Italian marbles he had ordered for the new house; and Giusippe waited almost with bated breath for his first sight of America, the country of his dreams.
"Well, we all will keep on telling her, and then maybe she'll be convinced," Jean declared. So they parted for the night. With the morning came the bustle and confusion of landing. Much of Uncle Bob's time was taken up with the inspection of trunks, and with helping Giusippe sign papers and answer the questions necessary for his admission to the United States. Then came the parting.
Saturday nights and Sundays he always spent at Uncle Tom's; the rest of the time he lived with his uncle and aunt.

So, as I say, I paint in my glass and afterward it has to be fired, all the small pieces being laid out on heavy sheets of steel covered with plaster of paris." "Do your colors always come out as you mean to have them?" inquired Giusippe, his eyes on the artist's face. Mr.
Then in 1600 the French stole from our people the secret of mirror-making and began turning out mirrors not only as good, but in some respects better than the Venetian ones."

"Yes, sorry as I am to say so, it was our own fault.
Mark's which revived the art of mosaic making, and served as the bridge between those Pagan days and the days when with Christianity the arts revived and mosaic makers began to represent in glass figures of Christ and the saints." "And then the painters came, as Giusippe has said," put in Jean.
Yet every one was pleased: Hannah because she would not now need her foreign dictionaries; Jean because it was jolly to have a companion her own age; and Giusippe because he felt that at last he had friends who were to guide for him the future which had loomed so darkly and so vaguely before him.
