Desroches, and a young Popinot, still in the drug business, who used to bring them news of the Rue des Lombards. Matifat loved the arts; she bought lithographs, chromo-lithographs, and colored prints, all the cheapest things she could lay her hands on.

Grace turned her eyes toward Arline, then some unaccountable influence caused her to turn her head and glance again in the direction of the street. A roughly-dressed man had stopped on the sidewalk directly in front of the theatre to stare at one of the gayly colored lithographs. Grace stopped short, seized with a peculiar feeling of apprehension. Why was the face of this man so familiar to her?

The opposite wall was blank, with the exception of a picture here and there, and these pictures offered a further insult to the room, for they were cheap prints, mostly coloured lithographs that had appeared in Christmas numbers of London weekly journals, encased in poverty-stricken frames, hanging from nails ruthlessly driven in above them.

The two engravings of the interior of the cave given in his book are copied from the magnificent lithographs of Paul Gaimard, but much of the effect has been lost in the process of copying. Mr. Baring Gould mentions this cavern in his book on Iceland, and believes that its interest has been much overrated. He seems to have visited the cave, but makes no allusion to the existence of ice.

"No, I suppose they don't," answered Mr. Shorter, cheerfully finishing his chartreuse, and fixing his eye on one of the coloured lithographs of lean horses on Cecil Grainger's wall. "I'd talk to Hugh, if I wasn't as much afraid of him as of Jim Jeffries. I don't want to see him ruin her career."

The old folks put every dollar they can wring from a reluctant environment into real property or the banks; the young folks put their inheritance into phonographs, Fords, boiled shirts, yellow shoes, cuckoo clocks, lithographs of the current mountebanks, oil stock, automatic pianos and the works of Harold Bell Wright, Gerald Stanley Lee and O. Henry.

"Yes, I guess so," he answered, absentmindedly, hardly looking up from the manuscript of a new play he was studying. So Russ took the girls. "Oh, let's see what is going on!" begged Ruth, as they came to a halt outside a nearby moving picture theater. "No, don't bother now!" urged Russ, gently urging them away from the lithographs and pictures in front of the place.
