copying can be. He initiated the
work of many famous houses,
some of which was better than
the original! AS a matter of fact,
some people collect Samsons to-
day.
Mr.. Gardner reported that many
persons indicate interest in pre-
senting gifts to the collection
Those that are of sufficient value
and rarity are considered, he said
Queries on Sewing Machine
Miss Grace Rogers, assistant
curator in charge OF textiles in
the Division of Crafts and In
dustries. reported you'd be sur
prised at the number Of questions
we get on the sewing machine. u
AS a consequence, she is re-writ-
ing a 1929 bulletin on that SUBJ
ject, which will include a cata-
logue Of the sewing machines
there. 1t won't be available fol
about another year, however.
She receives many telephone
calls from persons who want to
know how the Smithsonian goes
about storing the valuable woolens
and cottons in it's possession. Or
the questioner will ask: You have
things on exhibition there that
are 100 years old. How do you
have them cleaned?" Miss Rogers
advises that old things should
never be dry cleaned. They were
meant to be washed.
They don't make collections
in the ordinary sense of the word
Miss Rogers explained, simply to
have a large supply Of any one
thing. They are interested in hav-
ing a collection representative OF
the general American textile pic
ture, old and modern. Handmade
netting. used as a canopy on beds
and popular throughout the 18th
century, is one of the hard to- find
things they are looking for. There
is a reverse applique quilt on loan
there now. but they hope one day
to have one permanently in the
collection. American laces and
fine hooked rugs will be welcome
additions. And they are always
interested in finding a better
specimen of anything they already
have in their possession.

Washington socialites had to
travel an unaccustomed "far
piece" for the big party Of yes
terday-a reception for 500 given
by Secretary for Air and Mrs.
Thomas X. Finletter to honor
Prince Misha'al Ibn Abdul Aziz
al Saud, Minister of Defense of
Saudi Arabia.
The 7:30 to $50 affair was
staged in the attractive. modern
Officers Club of the Naval Medi-
cal Center in Bethesda. Perhaps
not as convenient as downtown
clubs or hotels, the spacious upper
floor of the Bethesda club GER
tainly lends itself beautifully to
the kind of party given there last
evening.
The. receiving line was formed
at the top of the carpeted stairs,
in the spacious hall off which the
lprivate rooms open. There large
bouquet of fall flowers and leaves
dramatically arranged before a
mirror set the stage for the decora-
tions. After shaking hands with
the Prince, guests spilled into the
other rooms; one with a bar; one
a glassed-in porch with windows
|affording a view of the wooded
hospital grounds. The Naval Gun
Factory Band provided soft back
ground music.
Mrs. Finletter, who with her
husband gave the party "on be-
half of the Secretary of Defense
in the absence of the Lovetts, was
the only woman in the receiving
line. Her gown Of rose satin
trimmed with black lace at the

but wants the public to UNDER
stand the basis upon which selec-
tionS are made. In the case of
the Division of Ethnology. they are
interested in building up collec-
tions that illustrate a historical
series. A person may have some
thing fine and good to present. but
if an example. just as good, is
already represented in the collec-
ton, the institution might not &C
.cept the new offer.
Among objects they would like
to add, Mr.. Watkins remarked in
answer to our query, are pieces OF
Amelung glass. which was pro-
duced near Frederick. Md, on the
Monocacy River, from 1874 to
1896. and all kinds of early types
of blown glass. as we'll as fine
American and English silver.
Now, It's Indions
John c. Evers. now acting
curator of the Division of Ethnol-
.ogy and an expert on Indians. is
of the opinion that every third
grader in the land studies Indians
at least, this Is the case if his
letter box is an index. 1t was
quite obvious that the children of
Nebraska studied Indians, for
every year letters asking for data
on such things as Zebulon Pike
and the Pawnee Republican VIII
lage and the hill where Blackbird,
the Omaha Indian chief. is buried,
arrived on his desk. So stimulated
was his interest in this project of
the Nebraska schools that a letter
was dispatched asking for more
information. It was learned that
this study was officially cut out of
the curriculum several years ago.
but apparently enthusiasm for it
is still alive with some teachers,
for letters persist to this day.
Mimeographed information on
these subjects is now available
to supply the demand.
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Beggs. director
of the National Collection of Fine
Arts, explained that "for the most
part. our opinion of a work of
art is a disappointment to the
owner in terms of the Importance
of the work in his possession"
They do not claim to verify the
authenticity of any work of art,
he pointed out-they offer an
opinion. Authorization, he added,
demands evidence of three kinds:
Documentation, comparison of the
painting in question with other
work of the artist in a search
for stylistic evidence, and chem
ical and physical analysis. At
the museum, they only have time
to examine the work specifically.
If it appears that it might indeed
be that of a master, the owner

lis then referred to an authority
on that artist.
Hans van Meegeren, the Dutch
artist exposed several years age
who had successfully sold his work
as that of Vermeer. has done us a
great service" Mr.. Beggs re-
marked. His story demonstrated
how difficult it is to detect a
clever, carefully planned forgery
and how intricate is the process
of evaluation.
Ceromics' VoIue
"One of the hardest things
have to do is to tell people thai
an object in their possession is oi
no value" Mr.. Paul v. Gardner
curator of ceramics of the Nation
al Collection of Fine Arts, said
I'm speaking of intrinsic value,
he added. "Of course, it may have
real sentimental worth to the
owner"
"A few individuals do bring il
valuable things" he went on, "bu,
the chances of a rank amateur
doing so are rare" The average
person is not familiar with the
marks and characteristics that in.
dicate authenticity.
One woman, for example, came
in with a quart mason jar which
carried the patent date 1880
She insisted that 1850" in tht:
instance meant it was made ir
that year, and was, therefore, 10l
years old.
TT is most important that the
public realize that even though ar
object is very old it is not neces-
sarily valuable" Mr.. Gardner de-
clared. Demand, rarity and fine.
ness Of workmanship are mucl
more important than antiquity
And many people are shocked tt
find that the object left to then
by their wealthy maiden aunt, ar
object which they automatically
assumed to be of great worth, is o1
no worth at all.
One woman had such a shock
dealt to her when she discovered
that she had not inherited a piece
of Rose Pompadour Sevres porce-
lain from her maiden aunt. after
all. A very rare glaze. this pink
ish-yellow porcelain is much
sought after. Life would be sim
pier if there were a piece Of the
famous rose porcelain in the col
lection, for Mr.. Gardner finds il
very difficult otherwise to con-
vince persons that they don't own
a piece of Rose Pompadour Sevres
The mark on Sevres china Is one
of the most forged. incidentally
Mr.. Gardner explained.

sian of the early 10Th century
