er, but she had always heard it called
|"BrOchea"
Il wouldn't pay over five dollars for
it, remarked an older woman, who
was with her. Mrs. Edwards got a
much better one than that the other
day for seven"
Five dollars! thought Helen, indig-
nantly. She took up a corner of the
shawl as the women passed on It
was almost an exact duplicate of her
mothers which she had priced so
highly, and had thought was worth at
least fifty!

had commented on the sideboard came

Helen was much impressed Both
the decanter and the littlee lustr

uine. But if she could not trust her
knowledge Of these things, she felt
sure she could not detect the repro
auctions in furniture.
! At last, reluctantly, she left the
place. There was nothing Helen en-
joyde more than wandering about
among antiques, and every moment
she had spent there had been an in
tense pleasure.
On the way home in the street car
she studied the catalogue and could
hardly wait until Warren came home
to tell him about it all.
But when he did come he looked
tired and irritable, and she decided
to wait until after dinner. However,
during dinner, he brought up the sub
ject himself.
"Well, did you see that stuff today?"
"Oh, yes, dear, and htey have some
wonderful things there. Wait, l will
bring you the catalogue"
She got out the catalogue and show
ed him the things she had marked

of the catalogue. She would ask War
rem to come and see it.
The next piece that claimed her at
tention was an old-fashioned sewing
table. There were two small drawers.
fitted with quaint wooden partitions
for needles and thread, and under
meath was a green silk bat. The silk
was old and faded, but that only show
ed its genuineness, and could easily be
renewed.
TWO women were examining a side
board nearby, and Helen could not
help but overhearing their comments.
These handles are new, and l am
sure the claw feet have been put on,
but think the rest is genuine"
Eyes, l think that is DID, pointing
! to one of the drawers. These look
like the original lockers, but they
doctor them up SO you can never feel
sure. You don't think it is too long,"
Lets measure and see," as she
drew a tiny tape measure from her
handbag. Five foot eight-that's all
right. That space between your din
ing room doors is just six feet"
This bit of conversation was to
Helen most interesting. 1t showed a
knowledge Of antique furniture she
did not possess, and it showed, too,
the advisability Of measuring any de-
sired piece to see if 1t would cores

There were many other comments
equally instructive that Helen over
heard as she wandered through the
two large rooms crowded with an

One man, whom she knew was a
dealer. for she had seen him in his
own Fourth avenue shop, was going
through the goods with swiftness of
an expert, making rapid notes in his
catalogue.
AS he passed Helen caught glimpse
of figures down the page. Evidently
he was marking the limit he would
pay for each article. She would have
given good deal to have been able
to copy some of those figures.
ooh, this is one of those old Pals

pointing to a shawl that covered one
of the tables. Helen had one almost

100000 AMERICANS
CAUGHT IN WAR ZONE
Those Who Wished to Get Out Have
Done So; Others Must Shift
For Themselves

London, Sept. 16-Henry s. Breck-
inridge, the American assistant Sec
rotary of war, arrived in London to-
day from Havre by way of Weymouth
on the American cruiser Tennessee.
The cruiser brought no American ref
ugees, as practically all who desire
to leave France hal already done so.
Mr.. Breckenridge expects to re-
main here only a few days before
leaving for the United States. He
says that his original estimate of 100.
900 Americans in Europe wishing to
get away when the war broke out
has been verified by those engaged
in relief work, for reports show that
about that number had been assist
ed or are in process Of being aided
in some way to leave Europe.
Mr.. Breckenridge believes that the
$7,500,0OO set aside for the relief of
Americans in Europe will suffice, as
he thinks their government ought not
to be expected to care for Americans
who remain in the war zone after
being duly warned and given an op-
portunity to leave at the expense of
the government.
In France alone, chiefly in the
nieghborhood of Paris, it is estimated
that 10000 Germans and Austrians
are informed. The American officers
make frequent visits to the school
and other public buildings where they
are held and talk with the prisoners
inspect the sanitary conditions, ex-
anime the food served and generally
look after the well being of these for
eigners. American officers are per-
forming similar duties on behalf of
informed belligerents of other coun.
tries involved in the war.
At Berlin, American ambassador
James w. Gerard adopted the plan
of treating all Latin Americans as
though they were citizens of the Uni
ted States. Mr.. Breckenridge says
that the ambassadors plan is so ad-
mirable that he suggested that it be
followed by all American diplomatic
and consulad representatives, and
for weeks citizens of Central Ameri-
ca and South America have enjoyed
equal attention with Americans from
the United States.
The situation in Italy is now COM
Portable. There are more accommo-
dations on the steamers sailing from
Genoa than are demanded.
