Interesting and
Valuable Books on
Library Shelves

Between the numbers 745 and $50
are found some of the most interest
ing and valuable books in the H. Les
lie Perry Memorial Library. These
numbers include books on the art of
collecting antiques, the arrangement
of ANTIQUES, interior decoration, MAX
ing patchwork quilts and hooked rugs.
This week the library has collected
some of these books on special shelf
where they may be conveniently pored
over by interested antique-hunters or
those who would be informed about
this art which is the hobby of the ma
iority of American families today
People who can afford the original
pieces are busy identifying the pieces
they have or hope to have, and those
who have the reproductions are an
xious to "place" their period furni-
ture.
One of the most interesting of the
| collection is About Antiques, by Bow
les. It includes information not only
en- old furniture, but also on old glass,
pewter, chinaware, tapestries. This
book also contains a very complete
list of books on early Americans.
Furniture of the Olden Time, by
| Morse, and The Collectors Manual, by
Moore are two of the newer books on
| antiques. The illustrations are parti-
cularly good in both of these.
The Practical Book of Interior De
coration, by Eberlein, Mcclure, and
| Holloway gives some very practical
| suggestions on interior arrangements.
Antiques, by Lockwood is Primer
, Of A. B. C.'s, with pictures and stories
to help fix the big facts in our me-
mories and to lay the foundation in a
comfoE table, workable way for an
agreeable acquaintance with American
antiques"
Among others are The Practical
Book of Chinaware, by Eberlein and
Ramsdell; The Practical Book of
Period Furniture, by Eberlein; The
Pleasures of Collecting, by Teall;
China Collecting In America, by
Earle; One Hundred and One Patch
work Patterns by McKim.
One event which is creating particu-
lar interest in furniture and things
of the olden times is the restoration
of Williamsburg, Virginia. A profuse-
ly illustrated booklet to be found at
the library is The Restoration of Col
onial Williamsburg, which is publish
ed as monthly number of the Archi-
tectual Record. The current number
of the National Geographic Magazine
also contains vivid and detailed pic
lures of scenes in Williamsburg.
Any or all of these books and maya
zines may be seen at the library

ed to the extent of $3.50, and a dwell
ing on Vance street was set down at

though only three with damage suf-
ficient to be recorded. There were two
grass fires, three roof blazes, one au-
to mobile, one stove and one in which
the cause was undetermined
With the exception of $500 fire loss
in Novem, er, March was the first
