BUYING ANTIQUES
If you have a fancy for antique furniture don't buy a piece just because it looks old, but have regard to its suitability and its usefulness, and in the case of chairs, its comfort. There is no_ sense in cultivating backaches by purchasing a hard, upright, inflexible chair because of its date, and giving it a place of honour at the fireside. Buy what is worth having, and from a dealer with a reputation, otherwise you may burden yourself with a collection of sham antiques, without even length of years to excuse their uselessness and ugliness. —Glasgow "Weekly Herald."
