Italian Antiques Replace
War SouUenirs in FAVOR in
United States, Says Consul

Rome. Italy. March 11-Italian an
tiques are being exported to the United
States in unprecedented quantities. ac-
cording to United States consul William
F. Kelly. During the past year the
export of such items amounted to the
value of S334.616. as compared to $169,-
10 in 1914. and $141.441 in 1918, the
reason being that antiques have gen
orally become a drug on the European
markets as against the new souvenirs
and curiosities created by the present
war.
1t seems to be a general opinion that
after the war antiques will depreciate
still more in value and interest. This.
however, is a mistaken view, according
to the Rev. Walter L. Lowrie, rector
Of the American church in Rome. who is
a well known antiquarian In no
sense" he says. will the gigantic OPP
eratiOns of this war swamp or sub
merge interest in the past. The war
had its origin in the historical arnbi-
tons of the individuals and nations Of
Europe We can explain its aspects
only by going back into history and
the very largeness of this war makes
these relics more important"

Bedtime Story For the Little Ones
"Uncle Wiggily and Old King Cole"
By HOWARD, B. GARIS.

GLE~ YELL, Uncle Wiggily Long
NJ ears. you are getting very
stylish indeed, it seems
spoke Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy' the
muslzrat lady housekeeper' after the
postman bird had paid a visit to the
hollow stump bungalow one day and
had left a letter, Very stylish. Look
here"
why, what's the matter?' asked the
bunny uncle. do you call 1t stylish
lust to get a letter. You often get
them and so do Z This is very likely
from Grandma Goosey Gander asking
me to come over and play checkers
with him"
Indeed, it is nothing Of the sort.
exclaimed the muskrat lady. That is,
IL YOU will excuse me for saying so.
This is a very stylish letter, indeed. It
comes from the Kings palace, as you
can see, by the royal stamp on 1t in
gold and red and blue and green. L
wonder what IL can be?'
IN open II and find out; then III
tell you said Uncle Wiggily politely.
I guess it's from the gold and silver
palace Of the King, who was in the
kitchen counting out his money, while
the Queen was in the parlor eating
bread and honey The maid was In the
garden hanging out the clothes when
along came a blackbird and nipped off
her nose.
7 helped the King and Queen and
the maid, you know, and perhaps they
are in more trouble, and need more
help"
But when the bunny uncle opened the
letter he found II was not from that
King. but another-this letter was from
Old King Cole.
Read me the letter." said Nurse
Jane.
So Uncle Wiggily read:
'Oid King Cole is a merry old soul,
A merry old soul is he,
He called for his pipe. he called for his
bowl.
And he called for his fiddlers three.
every fiddler had a fine fiddle,
A very fine fiddle had he,
And Uncle Wiggily is asked to come
To list to the music with me-"
At the bottom OF the letter was Old
King Coles name in big letters.
Well, WellP' exclaimed Uncle Wig
gily. Il don't understand. What's ii all
about I wonder2'
Don't you seer cried Nurse Jane
This is a royal invitation from Old
King Cole for you to come 10 his palace
and Listen to his fiddlers three making
music on their fine fiddles. You must
get ready TO go. Put on your best suit
and look nice"
Must I really gO?" asked Uncle Wig
gily. It had much rather stay here
with you. / don't know Old King Cole
at all well Must I go2'
"Of course You must gOp' Nurse Jane
said. Whenever a King invites you
why you have to go, even II you must
stand on your head. III help you get

Very we'll" Uncle Wiggily said, ''but

I know it will be too fine and grand for
me up at the Kings palace III be
sure to get my napkin on backward, or

But IL must go I must I wonder how
he came to invite me-"
"Oh. / guess he heard how kind you

What Happened To Jane
Her Parents Pay a Call on Reeves.

(CopyriEht l9l5. star Company)

This is a fine large room," Mrs
Hardy chirped. She was somewhat
awed by the red brocade furniture and
lambreGuins and the genuine Brussels
carpet" with its garlands of mammoth
roses It's very tasty" she added
"It'u be quite a change for you, won't
it, dearie?'
Jane pretended not to hear. She had
a swift mental picture of her old home
the plain yet comfortable furniture
which she had known all her life, her
own little room and white bed, the coy
dining room with the door open into
the kitchen, the sound Of the kettle
on the range, the scent OF her mothers
geraniums in the sunny windows. A
wave Of inconsistencies almost engulfed
her She saw that Augustus was ex-
Decting some word Of appreciation of
his home.

Her betrothed attributed her hating
remarks to natural embarrassment
Yes" he agreed, Mary Baird is a
good housekeeper. She will teach you
anything you don't know about the care

Where is Mrs. Baird?" James moth

Yes, / would the girl said frankly.

informed them. I'VE will go out there
if you like, for you must be interested
in seeing all that James going to have"
he suggested to Mrs. Hardy
Yes, indeed 1 am" the matron re-
piled.

dining room. As he opened the door
into the kitchen, he announced his
visitors.

there were any number or them, keenly
appreciative Of their cOuntryman's Of
fering. There has never been anything
more graceful and useful than these
scarfs and any one possessing one
should be more than grateful. They
are a charming accessory to the formal
evening gown and serve the dance
frock equally well.
The Vogue of Lace.
Much lace is being used on dresses
aside from flounces.. one of the favor
lite methods is TO veil a deep band of
lace in the bodice, as shown in our first
illustration. and another use is shown
in the sleeves and front panel effect on
the other frock. The metal laces,
rather heavy in weave. are especially
effective for yelling purposes. The
gold and silver landings are most at
tractive. often in the costume blouse

20 il was all settled for her. She
was to be married quietly at
Christmas time The little joy
that she had in her school and in the
comfortable security that she would
teach until spring was snatched from
her.
One request that she made was graft
fled. She had begged that nobody need
know Of her plans.
I hate talk" she said "and Milton
PEOPLE will gossip and ask questions.
Please keep the date Of the wedding
secret"
"An right" Reeves assented. He
had carried his point, and was satisfied.
Moreover he liked to think Of how sur
prised his neighbors would be when
they learned Of his marriage. After
all, there was no need to notify the
school board yet that a new teacher
would be needed the first Of the year.
There were always numbers of young
women waiting for such vacancies. One
could be secured on a weeks notice.
Perhaps he was also quite willing
that Mary Baird should not know too
long before hand just when she was
to have a mistress over her. She had
seemed very quiet and submissive late
~, but at times he felt her eyes fixed
upon him with an expression that made
HIM vaguely uneasy. Yes 1t was Just
as well not TO talk to her Of his APP
preaching marriage. Let her get used
to his engagement first.
One day he tried the experiment Of
driving Jane and her mother to his
home Ito look il over" as he said.
James face was set and hard as he led
her and her mother from room to room,
explaining how comfortable each was.
The heavy, Old-fashiOned furniture
seemed hideOus to the girl When she
entered the darkened parlor, she shiv-
cred. Augustus looked at her.

piled.
