The Home Harmonious.

FTEN 1t is possible during a short
sojourn in far places to find rare
pieces of furniture with which
~ owners are willing to part, for
a consideration" Such searching
and finding is fraUght with the most pOIgn-
ant interest by the collector, particularly
the novice who has not had the cmbitter-
ing experience Of buying from-what
shall We call them?-" antlquators, the
last word in furniture fakedom.
Often we are willing to be hoodwinked
about some piece that makes its own APP
peal because Of It's individual charm. We
have, after all. on some occasions to
thank the poor faker-for even II what he
represents is not as antIQuated as it Is
represented to be, It is copied from by
gone age and It has all the air of having
been conjurcd out Of distant past.
Even the names OF these old creations
have a succinct charm. Imagine coming
home and telling your best friend OF your
purchase. While motoring through
New Hampshire we stopped at the queer
est little village inn on the road between
so and so, and there persuaded the land
lord to sell me an exquisite old credence'
