conferred with them about his recent re-
quest to the press. which has been gen.

about the sailing of merchant ships to

was some difference of opinion as to
whether the request included the arrival

after the conference SECRETARY Daniels
said:
The request was not intended to ask
the press associations and newspapers not
to print anything about the arrival of
ships In American or foreign ports. Such
information could not easily afford any
Information that might jeopardize life.

Roman Stripes.

Have YOU noticed what lovely

some one came in and wanted TO
buy IL at once. Again we had a
handsome old turkey platter mark
ed Adams: il had belonged 70 a
we'll known Germantown family.
and one day lady came in who had
been looking for that very thing for
long time. Again we had once a
rolling pin that had been used TO
makes pies for the British soldiers,
at the time of the battle OF German

Mirrors are a great asset to an
antique shop-or lunch room-or a
combination like mine. In fact.
every lunch room needs plenty of

to put one near the door. Men like

too, have been much called for, par
ticularly the blue and white ones.
We have had some that were woven
with the names of the makers and
the date Of the making woven in.
Samplers, too, have always gone
well. Once we had an original copy
of America and that brought an
excellent price.
LAS fast as we sell things, we
must go out and hunt for more to

There is no side line for a lunch
room that puts more responsibility
on one than antiques; silver has to
be cleaned constantly and old fur
niture protected from breakage, and
china, too, and, as for laces, they
tear so easily that one must take
particular care of them. But it is
fascinating business, and it has

Antiques and a Lunch Room

"A lunch room, 10 be a success,
needs some sort of a side attrac-
ton" so Mrs. Mary L. Henderson Of
New York, told a representative Of
the Christian Science Monitor. For
a long time Mrs. Henderson has
found the combination Of antique
shop and lunch room a happy one.
THE one difficulty" she says
smilingly, ".s 10 keep any antiques
on hand, they go fast. Good things
will always sell; there is always
some one who wants each one. And
genuine antiques show their worth.
When this place was first opened,
some Il years ago, il was a decided
novelty: small lunch rooms which
made a speciality OF light dainty
dishes. instead of the more elabor-
ate meals offered by the large res
taurants and hotels, were just being
established and were few. This was
an antique shop first. Then we
added the little tables with their
pretty candlesticks and flowers and
those who came in TO buy our an
tiques stayed to try our food. on
the other hand, those who came
primarily TO eat became interested
in the lovely old things about them
began to talk with me. inquired
about history, and often bought at
the time or returned TO buy, bring
ing their friends with them or send
ing them later.
That is why I say that a lunch
room needs more than mere food or
meals to attract people. 1t must
have some particular and definite
drawing card. Some find that in
side line of candy, others have all
sorts of oddities. A plain lunch
room, where there is nothing but
food TO be had, is not specially in
teresting, no matter how we'll the
food is cooked. Good cooking, or
course, is necessary; otherwise peo-
ME will not come a second time,
hut it is a happy combination of de-
licious. well-seasoned food and an
attractive side line of other things
