The lore of collecting an
tiques is the subject Of hum
dreds Of books. But hardly
a word is written about the
disposal Of antiques, or why
collectors lose interest in the
field.
Last week we encountered
an expert in the study of
owners of antiques who de-
eide to sell part or all Of
their holdings.
Mrs. Henrietta M. Ehrsam
operates a consignment shop
on South Royal street in
Alexandria. Her stock en-
braces the typical variety of
old and new found in such

their ancestors enjoyed. to
keep the silver FURNISHED.
And many fine pieces Of
old furniture pass out Of a
family's hands for the first
time because the current pos
SCISSORS own modern homes
too small TO accommodate the
generous-sized furniture Of
yesteryear.
Change Of taste accounts
for q great number Of sales
Of furniture, as owners trade
pine for mahogany or switch
from a conglomerate collec-
ton into q period Of Chip
pendale or Sheraton.
Currently she has detected
q trend toward more "ele-
CANT" styles Of French and
Italian furniture, pushing
further into discard the
short-lived enthusiasm for
Victorian-era furniture.
Mrs. Ehrsam says she has
been astonished at the variety
and quantity Of good quality
antiques concentrated in
the Washington area.
Everything shows Up
Old silver. held in low
esteem BY owners Of only a
few pieces, enjoys q brisk
trade, and is snapped up
by q small but avid group Of
collectors.
But. in the midst Of a
transient population, EVERY
thing, Chinese, European and
American antiques, shows
up"
Not primarily an antiques
, dealer, Mrs. Ehrsam is alert to
the pitfalls Of the trade. She's
wary Of the antiques scout
the gadfly Of the antiques
business-who buys antiques
on the run and attempts to
turn q quick profit. She has
found items offered for sale
through this avenue tend to
be over priced.
Her own home is furnished
throughout with antiques and
is heavy with old pine, which
she refiniShed herself. Her
latest delight is mixing old
pine and modern abstract
paintings, a combination she
describes as stunning" and
one she is convinced will
spread as a decorating motlf.
Fans of American silver will
welcome a new book, in maga-
zine formal, by Martha Candy
Fales, the expert on the sub
ject at the Henry Francis du
Pont Winterthur Museum.
Mrs. Fales has taken a re-
preventative collection Of
American SilverSmiths whose
work is on exhibit at the
museum and presented d
samples Of their finest work.
The illustrations are so care
fully executed that the book
can serve as a guide to collec-
tors in comparing their own
pieces.

MODERN
MANNERS
There's a Place for Shorts
And It's Not Our City Streets
BY CAROLYN HAcNER SHAW

SPECIAL TO THE
LADIES: Last year / wrote
about the department that
should govern the wearing
Of shorts and slacks by the
members Of our fair sex. The
repercussions came thick and
fast. Letters commencing
me for my opinions came
from the gentlemen: letters
condemning me from the
ladies. Several requests have
come in recently asking me
to repeat this column. That
is, If my sentiments are the
same. They are. Even more
so!
The reason is that just
recently I again saw my
little friend Mrs. Inexperi-
ence strutting down Con-
necticut avenue clad in all
too short shorts and q halter
top. This brought back to
mind that there is definitely
a time and a place for every
thing.
First, let me make my posi-
ton clear: While I do not
for one moment presume to
be a fashion dictator, I still
maintain there is q definite
place for the wearing Of these
articles Of apparel. / am
heartily in accord with the
assertion that wearing them
on our city streets is def
nitely not to be desired. Ap-
pearing so clad is displaying
not only extremely bad taste.
but a lot Of you along with
it.
But" you say, What does
what / wear have to do with
manners?" A lot. The con-
ventions we observe every
day of our lives are based on
our thoughts of others,
which is, after all, the basic
rule behind all Manners"
You wouldn't dispense with
knives and forks and eat
with your fingers, would
you? No, because it would
be unsightly to others.
Neither would you appear on
the streets clad in a bath
towel. Convention forbids it.
And yet, there are all too
many who actually wear
even less and think nothing
of it, thereby infiicting an
unsightly picture upon the
beholder.
OF course there is a de-
finite time to wear SlackS
and shorts. To do so in the
center Of the city's business
district comes under the
heading of bad taste. Flaunt-
ing ones self in trousers,
long or short, in any public
place other than a resort,
isn't showing good judg-
ment. During the summer
when working in the garden,
around the house doing the
daily chores, taking ones
ease in the back yard, they
are perfect. Why2 Because
they are comfortable, easy
to move around in, and cool.
But the reason they have
been condemned, ridiculed
and cartooned is that some
of us ladies haven't learned
to discriminate between
when they can and cannot
be correctly worn.
There is also one definite
question we should ask our
selves, too, aside from when
to wear slacks or shorts, and
that is how we look in them.
They are a boon to sports
lovers this time of year, but
look into the mirror first
after putting them on. Let's
face facts Are we, shall we
say, a little on the middle
Evening star., 1958-07-13

age side? A little too plump
in spots? Well. just remem-
ber that what you see in
that mirror is what you are
infiicting on all those who
behold you. If you are not
made to wear slacks and
shorts, don't wear them for
your own dignity's sakel
To sum It all up. in my
humble opinion, wear slacks
or. shorts by all means. but
wear them at the right time,
and only II you know in
your own heart that you
look well in them.
QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
QuestiOn-Will you please
advise me the correct way
to address my sister-in-law,
q recent widow, in corre-
spending with her. Should
/ address it, MRS. Marga-
ret Brown Green" or MRS.
James Green"?-Mrs. A. s. L.
Answer-The correct way
to address your sister-in-law
in writing would be Mrs.
James Green" in exactly the
same manner as 1t would
have been done before she
became a widow.

Question II recently at
tended q wedding and was
amazed to hear a number
of people practically demand
that the bride and BRIDE
groom tell them where they
were going on their honey
moon. AS a prospective bride,
I would like to know how
to handle this. I always
thought the destination Of
a honeymoon trip was q Sc
cret. / don't want to be rude,
but I still don't want to
tell.--MisS w. S. W.
Answer-It is very thought
less to rudely interrogate the
bride and bridegroom as to
their honeymoon destina-
ton. Down through the
years it has been traditional
that it be kept a secret. If
someone should ask you,
smile and frankly say, I'm
sorry, but that's a secret"
4 4 = +
QuestiOn--What does one
do in the following dilemma?
My husband and I attended
a cocktail party recently.
While there we met a couple
we knew slightly. They had
obviously had several cock
tails. An invitation was ex-
tended by them for dinner
the following week. The day
arrived with no further word
from the hostess. I was in q
quandary as to whether or
not to go without calling
her for fear she had for
gotten the invitation. What
would you advise in such .
situation?-Mrs. j. T. @.
Answer-By all means call
the hostess. Nothing would
be more embarrassing than
to arrive and find that you
were not expected. I would
suggest calling a day or two
before the date that has been
set, if you do not hear from
her. Start OF by saying that
you just wanted to be sure
that you had the correct date.
This will give the hostess
time to make plans if the
invitation has been forgotten.
It goes without saying. how
ever, that the best course
to pursue is not to accept
such an invitation in the first
place!

Smithsonian
Bill Advanced

Legislation to convert the old
Civil Service Commission Build
ing on F street NV. to an art
gallery for the Smithsonian
Institution was cleared today
for Senate action.
The Senate Public Works
Committee gave a unanimously
favorable report to the bill by
Senator Anderson, Democrat Of
New Mexico.
At the same time, however,
the group passed over another
Anderson bill to authorize con-
struction Of a National Air
Museum on the Mall opposite
the National Gallery of Art.
Chairman Chavez Of the full
committe said action was post
poned because of another pend
ing bill to construct a National
Cultural Center at the same
location. The latter legislation
has been introduced by Senator
Fulbright, Democrat of Arkan-
sas, and Representative Thomp-
son. Democrat of New Jersey.
Senator Anderson's BILL"
Senator Chavez said, will be
sent back to subcommittee
where it can be considered to-
gether with Senator Fulbright's
measure"
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Mcnamara. Democrat
of Michigan, reported favorably
on the Air Museum bill to the
full committee yesterday. 1t
took the same action with re-
spect to the Civil Service Com
mission building.
The latter structure is To-
Gated between F, G, Seventh
and Ninth streets NV. The
Smithsonian would take it over
as a portrait art gallery.

pairing forms requesting a zon-
ing exception in Alexandria SC

build the long-awaited North
ern Virginia juvenile detention

Council.
A hitch in the plans devel-
oped Tuesday when city officials

Bottle Caps
Again Put on
Mystery Act

STAFFORD, N. Y, Mar. 6 (R.
Reports Of more strange phe-
nomena Including a flying
fiashbulb. a popping bottle cap
and jumping crystal bowl
have added new mystery at the
James M. Hermann household.
Police said yesterday the UNI
explained incidents were af-
firmed by a British newspaper
correspondent who was at the
house to interview the family
at the time.
The correspondent, John
Gold, told police he saw a pho
tographic flashbulb which had
been lying on an end table sail
across the room, hit the wall,
bounce into the draperies and
fall on the floor.
1T did not actually see it leave
the table, which was screened
from my field of vision" Mr..
Gold said later.
He also recounted:
A few minutes later, q screw
lid on q bottle freed itself, and
leaped over to the top Of a card
board box. Then a crystal
centerpiece on the dining room
table took of and struck a
wooden shelf, breaking a mold

Shortly afterward, a Is
pound bookcase in the basement
Topped over with a resounding
crash.
Since last February 8, similar
freakish occurrences have been
reported in the Hermann
home, and investigators, includ-
ing police, newsmen, and a

been unable tn eHplain them

Suit to Curb
Soil Payments
lis Thrown Out
BY the Associated Press

A suit by Representative
Reuss, Democrat of Wisconsin,
seeking to block payments in
excess of $4,000 to any one pro-
ducer under the soil banks
acreage reserve program was
thrown out of court today.
The suit was dismissed by
United States District Judge F.
Dickinson Let's on the ground
that Mr.. Reuss had no standing
to sue Secretary of Agriculture
Benson.
Mr.. Reuss brought the suit as
a taxpayer and as a representa-
tive of constituents who are
taxpayers.
Judge Let's cited court de-
cisions holding that merely be-
ing taxpayer does not give a
person a standing to bar ex-
penditure of Federal funds.
He also said Mr.. Reuss sought
by indirection to sue the United
States which had not consented
to be sued.
Judge Let's added that the
statute which Mr.. Reuss
claimed is being unlawfully
administered under an incor-
rect Interpretation must be adj
ministered by the Secretary Of
Agriculture.
"In the circumstances Of the
case it is clear that the present
suit although directed in name
against the Secretary person.
ally is in effect suit against
the United States" Judge
Let's said.

Of extra funds to hire staff.
The Commissioners action is
in line with a proposal in the
massive Prisons, Probation and
Parole report prepared last year
by a committee headed by Com
missioner David B. Karrick.
DR.. Finucane also was asked
today to study a proposal for
closer collaboration between the
Municipal Court probation Of
flee and the city's alcoholic re-
Mobilization division in plan
ming the release of imprisoned
alcoholics.
Chronic Criminals
And Corrections Director
Donald Clemnier was asked to
develop q plan for reducing the
number Of chronic crime re-
peaters.
The city heads, on Mr.. loves
recommendation. rejected a
proposal in the Karrick report
to require drunks to appear in
court on their fourth arrest in
any one year instead of for
feitting collateral. Mr.. Lowe
said police officials said they
could not maintain adequate

duction-and no longer made
l"guns."
Today there is new emphasis
on design. development of pro-
totypes. the making and test
ing Of new type ordnance and
some crash" programs. This
includes work on missil lie
launching systems instead OF
the big guns once seen in the
factory.
AS expected. there has been
some bitterness as veteran
civilian employees were
bumped" by war veterans.
They all understand this comes
about by reason of the Veterans
Preference Act.
Odd Situations Pop Up
There are some odd quirks
to how it works out under the
personnel regulations.
Take the case Of Joe N.
Adkins, a factory employee for
II years. who lives at 1922
North Mckinley road, Airing
ton, Va. He is a buffer. and
polisher.
"Giving job preference to
veterans is all right" he said,
but what about men who vol
unteered for military service
but couldn't. get in because of
some physical requirement?
The Government ought to do
something as to jobs for vet
eran civilian employees Who
have to be displaced. Yes, l
am looking for a new job, but
where do you find one for a
buffer and polisher. I guess
I'll have to turn to some other
kind of work"
Then there is the case. of
Rufino c. Jubane of 4516 Blu
chanan street, Hyattsville, Md,
a management analyst with II
years service at the Navy Yard.
He was considered by factory
officials to be most essential
but he had to go.
Mr.. Jubane was replaced by
a younger man, a war veteran,
who. incidentally is seeking a
higher pay rating. There is
the chance, therefore, that the
yard may have a second new
analyst.
Mr.. Jubane, who has a wife
and four children and a home
that is almost paid for, was
fortunate. A new job was found
for him with the Government
at the same grade, subject to
his passing a new physical ex-
animation.

IS, eliminating more than 10
years of effort on the part of
Northern Virginia groups to
construct a juvenile lookup.
Other than a small 11-unit
shelter in Arlington, the area

Youths frequently have been
confined with adult offenders.
The lookup, to accommodate
about rs youths. will be used

records for this purpose without
undue cost.
Police also said any statistic
cal record might be unreliable,
rejecting more accurately how
obstreperous person became
than how often he became
drunk, Mr.. Lowe said.
''Never Have a Record"
"A jovial drunk might be
sent home any number Of
times by the police department
over a period of months and
still never have a record" he
told the Commissioners.
Also turned down was a pro-
posal to appoint a city official
to coordinate efforts on the al
coholic problem. Mr.. Lowe
said the Health Departments
Mental Health Bureau could
handle this.
Mr.. Lowe also suggested
passing up a proposal to allow
traffic violators to pay fines in
installments. Municipal Court
tried this several years ago and
dropped the idea as cumber-
some, he said. The Commits
sioners took no action on this.
