You know that pretty book (and learned book, too), Forbes's _British Star- fishes_?
You like to look it through for the sake of the vignettes,--the mermaid and her child playing in the sea.
Oh yes, and the kind bogie who is piping while the sandstars dance; and the other who is trying to pull out the star-fish which the oyster has caught.
Yes.

But do you recollect the drawing of the Medusa's head, with its curling arms, branched again and again without end?
Here it is.

No, you shall not look at the vignettes now.

We must mind business.

Now look at this one; the Feather-star, with arms almost like fern-fronds.
