Antiques and curios In jewelry con-
tributed to the suffrage melting pot. u
an institution inaugurated by the Ma
tional woman's Suffrage Association
to raise a $4,000 campaign fund, will
not be melted with the other gold and
silver ornaments donated by milady,
IL 1t is found that more can be real
lied by reselling these articles.
This decision was reached as the re-
suit of the first contributions made,
which are worth a great deal more than
their intrinsic value. These first con-
tributions were made by Mrs. Helen NJ.
Gardener and Mrs. Helen R. Tindall.
In Mrs. Gardeners collection was a
small silver teaspoon of slender pattern,
a size that is no longer made. 1t was
possessed by her family. Mrs. Gardener
said, before the Revolutionary war. An
other silver spoon, a Turkish one. was
presented to Mrs. Gardener at the
world fair by the Turkish commission
er. A momento of her travels was fur
nished by an antique japanese purse,
with heavy silver and ivory mountings.
Another interesting little curio was q

Mrs. Gardener picked up in Corsia
There was a bracelet of fine gold, jet
pin with heavy gold settings, and an
old ring of curious antique pattern with
