 balanced effect.

paper was chosen for the bowl, and bright- 

 orange tones for the flower shapes. Leaf 

 shapes were cut from green paper. The deco- 

 rative pottery shapes pasted above the plate 

 rail were cut from orange, blue and white 

 papers. 



The steps in arranging the left and right 

 walls are shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Of course,

the same colored papers are used on these walls 

 as in the arrangement of the back wall. In 

 the right wall the hangings were cut from 



medium-blue paper. When the three walls are 

 finished they are joined together by strips of 

 thin muslin, pasted to form hinges on the back. 



The largest piece of cardboard is intended 

 for the floor. It should be covered with the 

 same brown paper that was used for base- 

 boards and moldings. A simple rug design, 

 consisting of panels of medium- and dark-blue 

 paper, was pasted in the middle of the floor. 

 The outside measurement of the rug was 7%" 

 x!2". 



The completed model, set in position, is 

 shown in Fig. 3 and in the color plate. B.S. 



INTERJECTION, in ter jek ' shun. The name 

 interjection largely explains the natrare of this 

 part of speech, for it is derived from two Latin 

 words meaning thrown in between. The inter- 

 jection is an exclamation expressing surprise, 

 pain, or some other sudden or intense feeling- 

 thrown into the sentence as an independent 

 element. It bears no grammatical relation to 

 the other words and is not needed to complete 

 the sense. Therefore it does no work, gram- 

 matically speaking; yet, rightly used, it strikes 

 the emotional keynote of the sentence. Be- 

 cause of this characteristic it has been likened 

 to a small boy sitting on the fence at a base- 

 ball game and exclaiming delightedly or dis- 

 gustedly, as the case may be, over the playing 

 of the team. 



Among interjections are included both special 

 words which have no other use, such as alas! 

 and words belonging to other parts of speech 

 when used in an exclamatory sense. 



Derived Interjections. Almost any word be- 

 longing to any part of speech may serve as an 

 interjection, the voice or the punctuation mak- 

 ing it exclamatory. The following sentences 

 are given in illustration: Noun "Bugles! 

 and the great nation thrills and leaps to arms!" 

 Pronoun "He! What can he do unaided?" 

 Verb "Hark! Hark! the lark at heaven's gat 

 sings." Adjective "Enough! I will not plaj 

 the Seer." Adverb "Quickly! catch hold 

 the rope!" Conjunction "But! I recogni2 

 no 'buts.' " 



and Oh. While the line is not nc 

 sharply drawn between these two forms of the 

 interjection, O is generally used in expressior 

 of wishing and always in direct address. Ir 

 Hamlin Garland's poem, In the Grass, the in- 

 terjection in one verse introduces a wish: 

 O to lie in long grasses ! 

 O to dream of the plain ! 



and in a later verse is used as the interjecti( 

 of address:
