The accompanying photograph shows well the dado effect secured by a surbase and skirting, and one notes with interest the cornice with its prominent modillions and the heavy plinth blocks on which the architrave casings of the doors stand.
Plinth, feeling herself suddenly secure on the vast expanse of a generalisation: and Mrs. Leveret, thinking there must be room for more than one on so broad a statement, took courage to murmur: "Oh, certainly; we have a standard." "The object of our little club," Mrs.
They will have it all, when they have illumination to see and trust to the leadership of a greater force than they in force of brain, in the spiritual force of ideas; ideas founded on justice; and not the justice of these days of the governing few whose wits are bent to steady our column of civilized humanity by a combination of props and jugglers' arts, but a justice coming of the recognized needs of majorities, which will base the column on a broad plinth for safety-broad as the base of yonder mountain's towering white immensity and will be the guarantee for the solid uplifting of our civilization at last.
It may have been modeled in the actual presence of the subject, but in that case the name on the front of the plinth was doubtless inscribed later, when the figure was removed from its pedestal and taken to Rome. Posidippus is clean-shaven, according to the fashion that came in about the time of Alexander. There is a companion statue of equal merit, which commonly goes by the name of Menander.
Plinth, who, in turn, appeared less sure of herself than usual. "Why, of of the book," she explained. "What book?" snapped Miss Van Vluyck, almost as sharply as Osric Dane.

She was immediately arrested. Miss Vivian Pierce of California began: "President Wilson has said . . . She was dragged from the plinth to the waiting patrol.
Down to the dry bed of the Cedron the verdure extended, a refreshment to the vision; there Olivet ceased and Moriah began a wall of bluff boldness, white as snow, founded by Solomon, completed by Herod. Up, up the wall the eye climbed course by course of the ponderous rocks composing it up to Solomon's Porch, which was as the pedestal of the monument, the hill being the plinth.
"Why, Xingu, of course!" she exclaimed. A profound silence followed this direct challenge to the resources of Mrs. "I should think NOT!" exclaimed Mrs. Plinth. "It IS a book, then?" said Miss Van Vluyck. This again threw the company into disarray, and Mrs. Ballinger, with an impatient sigh, rejoined: "Why there IS a book naturally..." "Then why did Miss Glyde call it a religion?"
"Old Ombos you could not help but think that he had grown very much like the statue himself; or had the statue grown like him? held up a candelabra which threw the details of the bronze figure into relief and cast flickering reflections on the dark oak panelling of the recess.
