"Fifteen shillings!" from someone deep hidden in the crowd. "Start as low as you like, gentlemen! I am offered a miserable fifteen shillings for a genuine, hand-painted " "Sixteen!" this from a long, loose-limbed fellow with a patch over one eye, and another on his cheek. "A pound!" said Adam, promptly. "A guinea!" nodded he of the patches. "Twenty-five shillin's!" said Adam.
"Well, it's this way: if we get married in New York we'll have to consider an extended and wholly obligatory wedding journey. If we get married here, we can save all that bother by bridal-tripping to New York, instead of away from it. And, what's more, we'll escape the rice-throwing and the old shoes and the hand-painted trunk labels.
"Sure, that's her's. She told me she lost one from her best hand-painted set in your canoe that night." Kendrick sat down in the nearest chair and laughed as if Stiles had said something which was exceedingly witty. The outburst was so spontaneous and unaccountable that the bookkeeper stared at him.
It wasn't a good thing for a fellow who had no sister not to have a girl chum. She was oh, what a peacherino of a girl she was! He smiled wistfully as he conjured a mental picture of her.

Migwan and Gladys, on the other hand, remembering their own early "crushes," managed not to smile at Bengal's sentimental foolishness about the lock of hair, and Gladys gravely gave her a hand-painted envelope to keep the precious tress in.
A little bit of heaven. He can't sing. If he was in his shirt sleeves and the collar was off and his face didn't hurt from the dull safety razor blade it would sound better. But pennies for him. Hit the singing boy in the eye and win the hand-painted cazaza. "A little bit of heaven called Ireland," is what he's singing. And the noises start. The pennies and nickels rain. Finis! Not so good.
Presents that owe their creation to the ingenuity and labor of one's friends as hand-painted screens or china, embroidered work, or, if one is artistic, a painting or etching are peculiarly complimentary wedding gifts.
The spots, and dots, and streaks were not exactly the same on each wing; at first sight they appeared similar, but, on comparing one with the other, differences could be traced. The pattern was not mechanical; it was hand-painted by Nature, and the painter's eye and fingers varied in their work.
"And we could have a Mystery Auction," interposed Marian Barber eagerly. "What on earth is a 'Mystery Auction'?" inquired Nora and Jessica in a breath. "Why we write notes to every one in Oakdale, asking for some kind of contribution, anything from a jar of pickles to hand-painted china. Then all these things are tied up in packages and auctioned off to the highest bidder.
