Quaint Old Pieces of Yesteryear Found in
Unusual Places and Under Odd
Circumstances.

for 95 cents. 1t is to be used, We were
told, after it is cleaned and polished,
as a waste paper basket.
A beautiful school slate which was
framed In lovely old inlaid mahog-
was bought and brought home to be-
gin life anew as a telephone pad.
Brass school bells, large and small,
were sold by the dcz1n, we were told,
at the auction, and one enterprising
matron bought one to ring" her two
children in from play. A clever idea,
we think
Two toleware trays, large ones
"a by 20 inches-were eagerly bought
to serve as garden trays. They both
were bedecked with the original
painting which was in splendid con-
dition. When not in use in the gar
den they will grace the mantel in the
basement recreation room, lending
color and atmosphere in an interest
ing measure.
HAVING means by which to trans
port several large pieces. one
friend described how, as they were
speeding homeward through Penn
sylvania, they stopped for a fresh
glass of milk at dairy farm. While
browsing around they Spied a quaint
old milking bench. Milking stools
are Of course quite common, but
benches-they are really rare.
Fashioned of thick log slab perched
on four rough peg legs" it imme-
diately became desirable to our
friend as garden bench.
While paying for this new-found
oddity. the buyer of the bench
glanced through the kitchen window
and saw the Strangest f1ddleback
chair she had ever seen! 1t had the
funniest "bandy-leg" back rails in
stead of the general straight posts one
generally sees. She coveted it upon
sight and bought it to use in her sew
ing room.
Demijohns, lovely rich green glass
jugs, can be used in so many intriguing
ways-as a lamp base for example-or
as bit of the unusual in the informal
garden and sun room, or placed on the
table in a dark corner of a room to
catch the light. They have in recent
years been very popular, consequently
hard to fnd. However, if you look
around in the old farm barns and hay
lofts back in the hilly countryside, as
our friend tells us she did, you'll likely
find one.

A NTIQUE lore Is a fascinating
hobby. 1t is something that ex-

sorts of interesting people living off the

equal to any written in the story books.
It's profitable hobby. too-many
amateurs have turned professional

The Old Gardener Says:

Bulb planting time is at hand,
but there is much advantage in
preparing the beds several weeks
in advance, for then they have
an opportunity to settle. OF
course, this is not important If
the bulbs are to be dropped into
holes made with a pointed stick,
but the bloom will be more even
if the soil is dug out to a depth
of five or six inches, the bulbs set
in place q few inches apart and
the excavation then filled. The
soil should be firmed lightly, but
1t is not advisable to use water.
II the soil Is heavy, a little sand
may be placed beneath the bulbs,
regardless of the method used in
planting them. II beds are ex-
cavated, an excellent opportunity
win be offered for digging in q
supply Of bone meal or, better
still, . balanced commercial fer
tilizer. Most bulbs should be
planted fairly early. but 1t is not
necessary to put tulip bulbs into
the ground until late October.

w YHILE nobbing with
M friends after returning
wv from an interesting vaca-
ton trip through New
England We were pleased to osberve
that many Of them had made the most
of the opportunity to visit well-stocked
and interesting antique shops that are
so generously dotted along the road
side.
1t was exciting and amusing to
listen to them as they related with
enthusiasm in minute detail how the
items they had collected, had been
discovered, how much had been paid
for them. and what they intended to
do with them.
ONE frirzza. who has been collecting
colorful china plates over a period
Of years for her old-fashioned corner
cupboard, returned home with three
prizes that proved to be genuine
Staffordshire. She had CHANGED
upon them when stopping at a quaint
little roadside inn that featured an
antique corner" Her eyes spotted
the colorful bits just as she was about
to open the door to leave!
An old banjo clock had been the
object of another young lady's casual
search and she found just what she
had hoped to find in an off -the-road
farm house where she had stopped to
inquire about a piece of property
which adjoined the farm. The clock
was hanging in the Summer" kitchen
at a careless angle. and when she in
quired about it the owner looked at
her with amazement. She left the
farm carrying the clock, and upon in
spection of it when she reached home
found 1t to be in perfect running order.
Some one else had been looking for
years for Toby" jug-stumbled
upon one in the house OF one of her
Summer friends-where she had called
annually to say hello" and "good-by"
while visiting in the village The
elderly lady, one of the oldest resi-
idents of the little town, had had this
treasure in her attic for years and
had just by chance brought the jug
out of its hiding place the day be-
fore our friends passed by 1t hap
pened to be 2-quart one. too, and
these, as the collector we'll knows, are
very rare. When our friend bought it
for $35 she knew she was buying it at
bargain.

of antiques posted on the trees

DE DECENT and upright in your

or lose their heads over a minor esca-
pade-but you youngsters will find.
funnily enough, that lots OF parents
are stuffy because they are shy and
have a sneaking inferiority complex
when their children get old enough to
have opinions of their own. They are
a little f1oored by the abounding en-
ergy and positiveness of the younger
generation, because they are a little
tired and sluggish after the years OF
hard work and worry that have gone
into the raising of family. II they
are encouraged to come out Of their
shells and be talked to like human
beings, they are as delighted as girl
who finds herself q success at her frSt
dance.
So-try giving your parents break
this year. Make them proud Of you in
all phases of your student and ado
lescent existence: let them into the
inner portals of your life as much as
possible-and don't let them down
ever, even in small things. You know
how it feels when a friend goes to
pieces" on you-think how much worse
it is for those who have spent the best
years of their lives in getting you ready
to meet the world. Hand back every
bit of love and thought and care they
have given you in kind; the money
part won't matter bit. Every debt
can be wiped out by setting on their
faces the grin that won't come OH
whenever your name is mentioned.
And If you really try to reach this
goal-and you find you have the type
of parent that refuses to be either CO.
operative or appreciative-why. then I
apologize for all have said to you.

me that so often the concern Of Par

TWO GIRLS.
Answer-I am very much opposed to

thing, they are too young. and. for
another, they are not fitted to marry,
because they have had no experience
Of life. sse
NO GIRL of II or IS knows enough
. about men to pick out husband.
She doesn't know enough about her
self to know what she wants in a
husband. She doesn't even know what
she is going to be herself when she
grows up. Marriage is risky enough,
at best, without taking any long shots
on the future.
Besides that, girl who goes out
of the school room into marriage
misses all the playtime Of life. She IS
q settled woman with babies hanging
to her skirt when she should be
dancing around and enjoying herself.
She has none of the flattery and the
flirtations and the love-making that
women crave, and that they seem to
have to have The result is that they
60 through life feeling defrauded and
are only too likely to make up for
their missed girlhood by having af-
fairs later on that turn into tragedies.
I have never known q middle-aged
woman who went daffy over movie
actors whom she had never seen, or
got into messes with gigilos, or picked
up men in restaurants, who wasn't one
who had married in her teens and
missed the fun of girlhood.

how to handle a husband and get
along with his people and make
friends for him. That also takes time.
And it takes time for a girl to get over
her childishness and to learn how to
be reasonable and philosophic about
things. So. you see. it is folly for a
girl to jump into matrimony before she
is ready for 1t.
Furthermore. think that every girl
in the world. rich or poor, should learn
some profession or trade by which she
can support herself, and she should
practice it for at least year before she
marries. Nothing gives girl so much
polse as being able to stand on her
own feet, and nothing else In the
world gives her such an abiding sense
of well-being as knowing that she has
the ability within herself to earn her
own bread and butter, and that no
