Why Do People Rave Over Old
CupbOards and Things?

A S a rule they KNOW
L \ why, although some
times they find it hard to
explain. AS well ask, why
do people read history, OF
why do they like to read
novels of old times in
which never a locomotive,
to say nothing of a motor
or an airship, has any
part?
There is good reason for
liking "old cupboards and
things because they are
beautiful, if one has the
vision, and also they are a
part of history. Of course,
not everybody has the Wis
ion, so that for them old
times and old-time things
hold neither charm nor in
struction. B u t always
