the delight Of the old couple as they check
off the amount received for the faxed
antiques against the sum that the dealer
who left them there at the beginning Of
the summer priced them at the joy OF the
summer boarder would be tinged with
sorrow.
Giving Appearance of Age.
Sc far has the business OF furnishing
these antiques made in a modern shop de-
veloped that agents tour the country,
sailing farmhouses with the bats for
unsuspecting summer boarders and chance
visitors who may covet the hand made
pieces Of our ancestors. So cunningly are
these forgeries made that 1t Is difficult
for any but an expert to detect the diff
ference. The appearance of age is easily
conveyed by carefully removing the gloss
from varnlsh. boring worm holes and sand
papering edges to give the appearance of
wear. The aging is a simple process. The
making is the most difficult. II Is neees-
sary to o the design OF the ancient
pieces correctly. and for this reason the
maker of fake antiques must be accurate
In his ideas. A false step in the arranging
or a scroll or the turning OF a leg may
disclose the forgery. Most of the fake fur
niture made is copied from genuine an
tiques. Chairs. tables and sofas that are
on exhibition in the halls OF our ancestors
are copied bodily and initiated so perfectly
that could the forgery be substituted in
the night for the genuine piece the care
taker would not be likely 10 detect the
change.
Legitimate Side of IL.
But the Queerest part OF the business is
that there is VIA might be called a per-
fectly legitimate side to IT. That Is, IL is
legitimate in the eyes OF the dealer, al
though when the story is told 1t will be
charged that there Is something queer
about the deal somewhere
II seems that there Is a steady demand
for these bogus antiques from ancient
families whose fortunes nave fallen into
decay. but who are burdened with an in
herited pride that will not permit them
to admit 20 the world that evil times
have befaIIen them. When poverty comes
