When Buying Antiques
A Reliable GuidebOOk
Is Good Thing to Have
Old Masters Works Distinguished by Lit
tie Eccentricities of Line or
Detail. \

who can copy and reproduce an orig
inal in minutest detail. The cost Of
these made-to-order and by-original-
pattern pieces is trivial in comparison
with their beauty and charm.
When hunting and buying originals,
however, according to one New Eng
land collector, it Is best to. buy by line
rather than by the condition OF the
wood. The wood can almost always be
restored to its initial beauty, but the
lines, If not true, can never be changed.
To be cure, one is naturally desirous
of procuring the best wood obtain
able-and in the best condition. But
then you will find only the best in
originals. Cabinet makers of old
possessed a keen sense Of judgment
in selecting woods, and used only the
finest and most durable to be had.
With all their practicability, they
never lost sight of beauty-harmony
of color and texture of the materials
they chose. Curled maple, walnut,
mahogany, cherry, ETC., are just few
of the woods they loved to use.
IF YOU intend to take up the hunt
seriously it would not be bad plan
to arm yourself with a reliable hand
book on period furniture. There are
many to be had, but, like all other
books, must be chosen with thought
and care. Some are complete in detail,
others are so technical that the aver
age person would be at loss to know
where to begin.
Some of the newer editions have
illustrated charts showing points of
design and workmanship by which to
recognize period. This knowledge is
essential if you intend to buy pieces
of different periods, or even If you
wish to buy only one type. There were
many deviations in style-and this, no
matter how trivial, has a tendency to
confuse the layman. Unless he ac-
quaints himself with the masters
eccentricities he may pass by a valu-
able piece, through his ignorance.
Chippendale, for instance, was an
incessant seeker after the original and
his versatile abilities led to great va
riety. He produced several types of
chairs-very often strap or ladder
work backs in various combinations.
His panel chair, ear-clipped, was one
Of his favorites. The legs Of these
were sometimes cabriole, clawfoot.
The ladder backs usually sported
square legs, occasionally curved. The
rear legs of them all, however, were
nearly always straight. In the arm
chairs the arms curved up and back
from the front and then almost hori-
zontal to the chair back. Decorations
were mostly carving, and coverings
of seats flowered silks and satins-
and even gay chintz. Colors of all
we're bright, suggesting the Chinese
! influence.

BY LUCIE EBERLY.

r Asst week we touched lightly on
the subject of "antiquing" for
little things while vacationing
- and were spurred by COM
ment to consider those antiquaries
who were not leaving the environs
of our fair city! Almost every one
these days Is interested to some ex-
tent In odd pieces of antique furni-
ture and one need not necessarily go
far afield to find them.
Throughout the city are shops well
stocked with collections worthy of any
connoisseur's praise and envy. It
is the finding of these treasure troves
that makes the quest Of the old items
fascinating. Once you have discov-
cred them-the shops-youll find
you have entered on a new expert
ence. Merely entered, we say-for
the field provides wide area in re-
search and a most interesting course
of study.
True, not every one has a liking
for the odd pieces of yesteryear. Some
of the earlier furniture was massive
and ornate and would hardly fit into
the modern decor. But there are some
items of the master craftsmen that
are always useful and that blend beau
tifully with our everyday plan.
\ Il y n
TAKE chairs, for example. They,
according to dealers. are the
most-sought-after pieces of all. They
are always useful and have the fac
ulty of fitting into our decorative
plan with all the grace they reflect
in line and beauty. One fine Chippen-
dale, Heppelwhite or Adam chair,
placed in the hall or living room,
used as an occasional or side chair.
brings to the entire room a bit of
dignity and elegance they so gener-
ously radiate.
Our early American types, inspired
from the English, Hitchcock or fiddle
back Sheratons, are equally attractive
and. though they are not by any means
simple, fit nicely into the informal
setting as well as the formal.
In planning to acquire dining room
chairs, one could make no better IN
vestment than to buy set Of six or
eight Of any of the above styles. In
the English style, Hepplewhite, Chip
pendale, ETC., one will, if one searches
long enough, find armchairs to match
Two OF these, with six or eight side
ones, are the ideal grouping.
WHILE the true connoisseur de-
w sires TO own only originals, they
are not always to be had-even at any
price. And for the layman the price
placed on originals is very often pro-
hibitive-even to think of. One should,
however, not give up in despair. You
may still find reproductions to what
you covet, within reason, as there are
number of expert cabinet makers

~ EAR MISS DIX-A certain
man wants to marry me.
He CONES from a very prom
- nent family, Is well educated,
has always hac everything worth
while in life-mney. cars, travel, and
so forth. I have only a grammar
school education, come of plain peo-
pie, never had money or social posi-
tion. I don't know one book from an
other. Know nothing about art, lit
erature or music, and when he tries to
discuss any highb'ow subject 1t Is all
Greek to me. I love this man dearly
and he must love ne, or he would not
want to marry me. He Is always cor
recting my faults and trying to teach
me the things s1ould know and Is
very patient with me, but I wonder,
if we marry, II will be able to make
him happy. He is 50 far my superior.
DORIS.
Answer think there Is very little
chance of happiness for either when
a man and woman marry out Of their
class. The Cinderella motive Is ro-
mantle and beautiful in fiction and
drama, but in real lie 1t doesn't work
out, and when the Prince and the Beg
gar Maid settle dawn to everyday
living together they ind not only that
they have nothing in common, but
that each has little ways and habits
and tastes that get on the others
nerves.
THE truth Is that nothing Is more
important In marriage than that
a husband and wife should come Of
the same sort Of peopk, have the same
background, be interested In the same
things, have the sane tastes and
habits. That Is what makes con-
geniality. And congniality Is bound
to be lacking in the csses where one is
superior to the other, either in social
standing or culture. h a happy mar
riage one does not lo>k up and then
look down. They see ge to eye.
OF course, very often q highly edu-
Gated man Is swept OF of his feet by
girls pretty face or bV some physical
attraction that she haSfor him and he
marries her, knowing hat she Is ig-
norant and uncultured and that the
things that are of most importance to
his life are Of no interest whatever
to her.
He thinks 1t will be enough for her
just to be good to look a, just to love
him, just to be amiable md sweet; but
he soon finds that he wants more than
that in wife. He wants q compan-
ion. Somebody who can talk his Ian
guage. Some one who has read the
latest book and has Sophisticated opin-
ions about it. Somebod, with whom
he can discuss philosophical problems.
Somebody to- whom music and art will
mean what they do to hin. And if his
wife's whole conversational repertoire
runs only to the kitchsn and the
nursery and back again, and. II all
she has to talk about Is tie neighbor-
hood gossip, ne is bound b be bored.
THE wife will be equally bored be-
cause she is no mon interested
in the things that are vital to her hus-
band than he Is interested In the price

monplace woman, but the wife is
equally to be pitied. Her husband IS
no more Of a companion to her than
she Is q companion to him. Many a
woman who has married "aoove her
SELF" as the phrase goes. wishes she
had married on her own level and got
a husband she could chum with and
who would take her to see Mickey
Mouse instead Of an O'Neill tragedy.
And, believe me, Doris, you will find
being elevated by a superior husband
one of the most painful processes in
nature. A woman wants to feel that
she Is just all right to her husband as
she is. She doesn't want to know that
her tastes and her manners and her
clothes and her accent and her gram
mar are all wrong and have him
eternally correcting her. So my ad-
vice to you is to marry in your own
class. It will save you both a lot of
grief. DOROTHY DIX.
nEAR DOROTHY DIX-My sweet
heart told me two days before
the ceremony that we would have To
wait little while: that she couldn't
marry me just then. Now she tells me
that must wait year and then per-
haps she will give me mo" for an an
swer. She gave no reason for this de-
lay, and have tried in vain to get
to the bottom of the whole thing. 1t
isn't her parents objection. 1t isI't
money. So what on earth could it
be? She will not tell me. but told me
to shut up and quit harping on the
subject. Isn't 1t natural for q man
to want to know why his sweetheart
can't marry him? Should I submit In
silence on the subject, or should I de-
mand the explanation feel is due?
TAILSPN.
Answer should think you would
feel that you had taken a headspifl
from the clouds and crashed, when
your sweetheart let you get almost to
the steps Of the altar before she told
you that she had put of the we'd
ding day. It shows she has little re-
SnAo AoA yo0A AcCAAleo VI ScA~iCoPCCts
II you do not know why the girl
has put off the marriage for a year
I can tell you. It is because she
doesn't love you and she breads being
married to you. My surmiSe Is that
there is some other man whom she
prefers and she will only take you If
she finds out that she can't get him.
Girls who are in love are crazy for
their wedding day to come, and they
don't defer it without some mighty
good reason. Never marry a girl whom
you have to persuade to marry you.
She will make q cold and Indifferent
wife. Affection Is likely to simmer
down after marriage anyway. so you
should start out with 1t at the boiling
point.
