work with a will The tedious part OF the
operation was the removal Of the old varnish, but
this was finally done by the temperate use or the
knife and the free Of the sandpaper. The pieces
then sized and stained, putting on three coats

which removed before the sandpaperins be.

HIS CONFIDENCE SHATTERED.
CURIO DEALER IN LOS ANGELES DETAILS
HIS EXPERIENCE WITH EASTERN

school teachers coming to the convention his
heart overhowed with delight at the thought Of the
delightful symposiums he would have with these
learned women. who would appreciate 10 the full
his rare and curious tRasures.
For weeks he bused himself in leisure moments
In carefully brushing, erranging and classifying
his choicest specimens. many Of which he con-
sidered too sacred for the casual gaze OF the ordi
nary tourist"
That his confidence in the intellectual acumen
of his prospective visitors misplaced may be
cleaned from the following bit OF dialogue which
he gravely transmitted 10 a relative here and was
furnished by the school teacher:
