fashion prices scared, yet only short
while before this handsome pieces
could be had for song. Intrinsic merit
of the commodity was unaltered An
other example 1t seems but yesterday
that mid-Victorian furnishings were
available at rediculously low prices
They were kept hidden away in houses
where such articles were still owned
Today all such articles are in the fore
front of fashion. This does not signify
any extra artistry, but it does mean a
change in the scale Of prices.
Never before has the necessity for
discriminating buying Of home fur
niShings been more essential to the
artistry of rooms. If mid-Victorian
furniture appeals to you, there are fine
examples to be had. AS these are less
ornate than the majority Of pieces and
less pronounced IN type, they can some
times be bought at a lower price than
the more pretentiouS pieces. If ultra
modern furniture is preferred, be a stu
dent of materials and workmanship, for
lines are so straight and angular usu-
ally that the cost Of manufacture is
less than for intricately carved and
inlaid articles
If you delight in antiques, be aware
that some OF these can still be bought
without paying fabulous sums, if YOU
know how to select and learn the
values. You will have to pick UP the
things yourselves often from a medley
of inartiStic and unworthy pieces. The
price paid is no estimate of the value,
which may be much higher than the
sum paid, nor does it signify lack of
artistry.

Ordinarily Senator Glass is a pleas
ant sort of person. A favorite pastime
when Congress is not in session is to
return to the Piedmont section of Vir-
ginia, go out TO the pasture where he
keeps his fine herd of Jersey cows and
sit there and watch them Craze.
Late In the afternoon he calls the
sports editor OF his paper in Lynchburg
to sec whether the Washington base ball
team won or lost the game that day
But when riled on the floor of the
Senate, he can be just about as ag-
gressive as one can imagine.
And this Hyde incident riled him
a-plenty.
On two occasions he tore into the
Secretary with an attack, the like of
which the Senate hasn't seen in long
while He stormed as he spoke, grew
serious as he endeavored to present
what he termed the plain facts, and
then wound up with brand of sarcasm
calculated to humble his accuser.
Indirectly he likened the Secretary S
head to that Of turnip in story he
told. How many precious hours we
waste arguing with turnips!' was the
last sentence Of his story. And 'As old
Bishop John Early of Virginia used to
say. the Senate May note the phrase

concluded.
