There was another silence. Then

tiptoed from the house.
So Nicky knew, or pretended to
know, the whole story" Whatever
it was, it was so discriminating that
Alexia would promise half her leg

obviously had worn Nicky's clothes

something terribly important. Oh,

Ligament Torn
i'm Shoulder

=
if'Ligament Torn
in Shoulder
BY HERMAN y. BUNDEsEN, VI. L
IN SOME men who engage in
hard types Of work, or in athletics,
the shoulder may become dislo-
Gated. When this happens but once
in an individual, it is usually not
matter for too great concern.
The shoulder, as a general rule,
can be put back in place by the
physician. In some instances, how
ever, the shoulder may become re
peatedly dislocated,
Now and then. any movement OF
the arm above the shoulder level
may suffice to throw the joint out
Of the place. In certain instances
of this sort, the patient may learn
to put the shoulder back in place
by wiggling the arm. When the
shoulder is examined 1t usually
appears TO be normal. There is no
swelling nor wasting Of the mus
Giles and no tenderness or hmita-
ton Of movement.
1t would appear that in persons
who have recurrent dislocations of
the shoulder, the trouble is due to
the fact that the glenoid ligament,
which is attached TO the rim Of the
bone over the shoulder joint, be-
comes detached. AS long as this
ligament remains detached, II Is
easy for the shoulder to get out OF
place. The detachment causes,
permanent defect in the shoulder
Joint and unless it is corrected by
operation or other treatment, re-
peated dislocation of the shoulder
is likely 10 occur. II the condition
is neglected, the bones also may
be permanently affected.
X-ray examinations often show
that there is irregularity of the
back part Of the humerus, which is
the large bone Of the upper arm. In
view Of the fact that injury to the
glenoid ligament may produce a
permanent condition which allows
the shoulder to become dislocated
at frequent intervals, it is sug-
gested that, when a dislocation
occurs, the arm should not be kept
immovable. Once the shoulder
Joint is put back in place, the pa
tient should be allowed TO move
his arm as much as he desires. This
form of treatment will shorten the
period of disability. However, even
this will not produce a permanent
cure if the glenoid ligament has
been torn. In such cases, the only
complete cure u by means Of
operation.

stocking. Then turn the stocking
with the heel down. Cut slit half
way to the heel, Turn the stocking
wrong side out and sew up the Sits,
which are the dolls legs. Stuff it
very tightly and when you reach the
top of the stocking or where the
stocking turns down, tie a string
around it, and then turn the top
down. it serves as the hat. Tie a
string around the place where the
neck belongs and you have the
shape of the doll. The toe of the
stocking, which is cut off, is cut in
half and stuffed. This makes the
arms. Whip the arms to the body.

Antique collectors have been the
butt Of many jokes. The wife who
just couldn't resist buying that "dar-
ling" rocking chair on the trip to
Massachusetts,, and the daughter
who is "just wild" about those
sweet" little silver porringers, and
sugar bowls, are familiar to us all
But women are not the only collec-
tors Of antiques. Men, too, have
collections Of Spode and Wedge
wood china, silver and pewter-are
very proud of that fact and do not
consider it "namby pamby" in the
least.
The well-informed antique lovers
will note that the majority of the
antiques that we mentioned above,
fall into the American antiques
class. That is exactly as we want
the situation to be for this article.
We are not going to discuss the
relics OF the cultures of ancient
Greece, Rome and Egypt. Rather,
we will deal with the antiques of
America that are as the definition of
antiques says-"pieces of furniture,
tableware or the like made at a
much earlier period than the pres
ent."
American antiques have always
enjoyed big place in the hearts of
those sincerely interested in Ameri-
cana The pewter, silver, glass and
furniture of the Early American
vintage have always had a huge fol-
lowing both with domestic and for
eign collectors Famous names as
Stiegel in the glass world, Eli Terry
in the mantel-clock world and in
the lithograph world the famous
names of Currier & Ives, are names
that antique collectors of Americana
know throughout the world.
Many lovely antiques are high in
price, but that is no reason why
knowledge concerning them should
be limited. The interested will FIND
many examples of household articles
used by our forbears on view in the
Smithsonian Museum, throughout
the New England States and in his.
toric homes in Virginia such as Mon
eral, one will find antique specimens
scattered throughout all the sections
of the United States. Here in Wash
ington, during the early spring and
fall, planned tours through lovely
Old Georgetown homes allow one tc
glimpse splendid antiques placed ir
settings that enhance their quaint
charm. Also scattered Throughout
Old Georgetown are delightful little

feller. jr., which endeavored ''to re-
store accurately and preserve for
all time the most significant portions
of historic and important city Of
Americas Colonial period" Al
though this Is primarily an educa-
ton project, the structures are au.
thentic restorations and are excel
lent examples of Colonial architec-
ture and furnishings. Many visitors
to Williamsburg were SO impressed by
the beauty and utility Of the furni-
ture, silver, pewter and brass that
they wrote for information concern
ing how and where they could pur.
chase reproductions.
1t was thus that craft program
in Williamsburg was born. In the
Craft House one may view with an
eye to purchasing the decanters,
18th century wall papers, furniture
pieces, spice chests, wrought-iron
hearth implements and hundreds of
other Colonial pieces. A certificate
of authenticity states that each
piece is designed in the 18th century
manner and each reproduction is
stamped also with the hallmark of
the Williamsburg Restoration. This
hallmark is the guarantee that the
piece is copied from an authentic
piece now used in the buildings that
have been restored in Williams
burg, Va.
But returning to the local antique
scene. One of our favorite de-
partment stores is featuring a whole
display devoted to lovely restored
antique pieces. Numbered among
this grand collection are pieces of
curly maple, pine and mahogany.
These authentic reproductions and
restorations Of antique canopy beds,
highboys, secretaries, chests and
chairs are set up in individual rooms
so that one may view them in their
correct setting with appropriate bed
spreads and curtains of the period
which they depict. One of the more
appealing restored pieces that we
especially liked, is very cute little
padded high chair for a young 'un
done in mahogany. Other antique
items featured are dressing tables,
rush-topped chairs, credenzas, water
benches, a mahogany horseshoe
wine table Of circa 1790, which has
three sections that can be used
together as buffet table or used
separately. Another item for Early
American collectors are the canopy
beds that have exquisitely hand
carved garland patterns on their
posters. These poster beds are exc
cuted in curly maple wood. The
great majority of these pieces were
uncovered by the stores buyers in
stables, barns, Easements, attics and
in antique shops scattered through
out the United States.
