The word graft" was probably first
used in this country in connection with

women were asked to costumes which were
fashionable IN Civil War times when the guest of
honor was belle in her circle. The men came in
conventional evening clothes, but nearly all the
women appeared In the quaint costumes Of long ago
and their hair dressed in keeping with the style

The Poet and the Beauty.

One of the finest houses in southern
England is Penhurst Place, the birth
place Of Sir Philip Sidney. Under the
trees Of its park Edmund Waller paid
his addresses to the naughty Lady
Dorothea. whom he celebrated as Sach
arissa. But the heart of Lady Dorothea
Sidney-who was the most beautiful
woman of her time-was untouched by
Walters amatory verses, and she re-
jected the poet in favor of the Earl Of
Sunderland. Many years afterward the
countess met Waller and, reminding
him sentimentally of the old days at
Penhurst. asked him when he would
again write verses about her. when,
madam" said the poet rudely, you are
as young and as handsome as you were
then"

FRAUDS IN OLD BOOKS,
Ancient and Rare Volumes Doctored,
Restored und Initiated.

A we'll known collector acquired
what he took to be a book published
by Aldus in the year 1889. He paid
$1,000 for it and believed that it was
an original Aldus, because the publish
cr's press mark, a dolphin coiled round
an anchor, appeared upon it. When
the book was shown to an expert it
proved to be beyond a shadow Of
doubt a modern antique-that is to
say, it was simply a copy of the orig
inal work printed by an ingenious book
fakir. So clever was the imitation
that only an expert could tell it from
the original and rare book. Scores Of
persons during recent years have
bought facsimiles of rare works under
the impression that they We're getting
the originals. Dickens Sunday I'm
der Three Heads" has been faxed
many times and sold as original to
collectors who no doubt treasure them
as rarities. Genuine copies of this
little book are worth n good sum, and
some INSCRIPTIONS dealers, taking ad-
vantage of the circumstances, have
had it reprinted and palm off the
copies on unsuspecting bibliomaniacs
for the genuine first edition.
Many men make living by doc
toring" old and rare books for I'M
adopts in the art Of book restoring and
are quite able to make good any part
of an imperfect copy. For instance,
if a rare book has a leaf missing it is
banded over to a restorer, who re-
prints the page with battered type,
the paper upon which 1t is printed be-
ing afterward discolored with chem
icals or tobacco water in order to give
1t the true antique hue.
The first folio Shakespeare is, Of
course, of great value, and it is safe
to say that every possible deception
has been practiced in fitting up copies
of this work for sale. At one time the
manufacture of first folio Shakespeares
was quite trade. A first folio having
several leaves missing had leaves in
serted from the second folio, while in
one case the entire play Of "Cymbe-
line" was reprinted and inserted in a
first folio. The faxed" pages We're
so cleverIy done that several experts
were at first unable to detect them
when turning over the pages Of the
work in question. Book restorers. as
a rule, are most ingenious artists. and
they can produce an imitation of q
page of a rare book which will deceive
hundreds Of collectors. One particu-
lar restorer has ''doctored" more than
a thousand old books during the last
lie and supplying colophons or deco
rated capitals. There is not thing
wanting to make a book complete that
this man cannot skillfully fake
