Buried Treasure
Rare American Glassware
Is Greatly Under-Priced
One of the rarer patterns of
American glass is a rather sim
ple type that has the unusual
virtue 91 being greatly under
priced. I have heard it called both
"baronette" and "marquisette,"
but the names are evidently
quite meaningless so far as hav
ing been given by the manu
facturer is concerned. At least,
I have been unable to find any
mention of them in old manu-'
facturer's catalogues, and even
the name of the maker is ap
parently unknown.
Dominant features of the pat
tern are two: It is composed of
a series of arched, tapering and
separate panels. In the goblets,
for example, the arches are sep
arated from the lip by about
three eighths of an inch. A sliver
of the same kind of glass separ
ates each panel from its neigh
bors. The other dominant feature
consists of the surface of the
panels-, themselves. It has a
screen effect when studied close
CONFEDERACY STAMP HONORS PRO-UNION PRESIDENT
"It' one of the minor mys
teries of history," said Mr. Smith
holding up a block of four
stamps, "why the Confederates
ever put Andrew Jackson's pic
ture on their postage."
"He was born a Southerner,"
I said. "That's reason enough,
isn't it?"
"Not in view of what Jack
son did. He was absolutely op
posed to anything that set states'
rights ahead of the safety of the
Union. Look at the way he
bullied South Carolina into sub
mission back in 1833."
I said I knew nothing" what
ever about it but was most
curious to know how Mr. Smith
had managed to get a block of
four unused Confederate stamps.
He had bought them some 30
years before for $20, he told
BUFFET WITH MARBLE TOP A
The buffet seemed to be of
just about the dimensions my
niece wanted six feet long, a
trifle over three feet high and
26 inches deep.
"But I don't really like the
top," she said. "It's so rough."
"That doesn't matter," I said.
"Whatever you get you're going
to have refinished, and this is
only $60." '
The top was rough, all right.
Here and there it looked as if
someone had rapped it a few
times with a hammer. But the
wood was walnut, of a good
grain, and the piece as a whole
was so substantial, so solidly put
together, that I urged her again
to buy it.
"It's undoubtedly right out
of the 1890s," she said. I could
tell she was looking for some
thing that would serve as a
sufficient excuse for either re
fusing it or getting it at a much
lower price.
She couldn't ffhd it inside,
however. The interior was not
only clean but the shelves were
all there solid ones, too. And
the pillars serving as corner

ly, but seen from a distance of
a few feet, it gives the panel
the appearance of being frosted
or stippled.
The pattern is usually found
in clear glass, but it does exist
in blue. I have also heard of,
but never seen, a set of goblets
in amber. The blue goblets were
especially lovely, and though
the owner was finally offered
the price of $15 apiece, she re
fused with the statement - that
she wouldn't take twice that
amount. ,
But prices for this pattern
in clear glass are nothing like
that. The top price I have seen
for clear glass goblets is $5,
and usually it has been $3.50 to
S4.
That is much too low." What
ever firm made the pattern back
in the 1870s or 80s soon discon
tinued it. For some reason or
other, it didn't catch on. Hence
there is very little of it -now,
and because of that, plus its
beauty, the price will rise.
me. "It was not such . a very
good buy then," he said. "Only
about $10 below the -catalogue
price ,. . . But to get back to
Jackson and South Carolina."
I was somewhat surprised to
see Jackson's picture on the four
green, two-cent stamps beneath
the legend CSA POSTAGE. It
certainly would have been sim
ple enough for the Confederates
to have found some other South
erner without such a pronounced
pro-Union record.
"But that's beside the point,
really," Mr. Smith said, "which
is that this turned out to be a
rather good buy.
"This block of four today
catalogues at $95, and actually
the catalogue price lags .behind
what-1 could get for it." '
REAL BARGAIN
ornaments at either end were
perfect. Not even a grape or leaf
was missing from their carved
and ornate capitals.
"Well," she said, "I'll take it."
She had just paid her bill
when the proprietor struck his
forehead in a gesture of regret.
"But of course," he said, "I for
got the marble top." , "' ''
"That's included at this price:"
My niece spoke with rising' in
flection that had nothing of
questioning, was pure threat. '
"But of course, Madame. Cer
tainly. Just a moment."
It was a good three or four
minutes before he returned, 'an
assistant helping him lug in a
marble slab that exactly fitted
the buffet's top. It was of an
apricot color, striated ... with
brown and gold.
I fell in love with it. So did
my niece, but since she loves
profiting from a bargain more,
she didn't keep the buffet and
its marble top for long. Within
a month she sold the piece for
$235.

News About Books
From the Library
We wish, almost, that it were
possible to tell ycu in this bi
weekly column, just a little
something about each . of the
new books we list for you here.
Almost we wish it, for we
could do so only if the list of
new books added to the' library
during the past two weeks were
much, much shorter. This would
please neither you nor us smce
some Jackson county reader is
interested in every single book
added; and we wish, with our
patrons, that each list could act
ually be longer.
Just as space does not permit
description of all our new

work 'in our seriously under
staffed library- allow ,us to take
the time we should like to have
for discussing books with read
ers in the library and helping
them make a congenial selec
tion.. It is our earnest hope to
have on our staff some day a li
brarian who can 'devote her
whole time to answering refer
ence questions and helping you
find the books that suit you
best.
Preparing Lists ' ' .
. ' In the meanwhile we are pre
paring some lists of suggested
authors and titles in adventure
novels, light romance, sea stor

copy of "Studies in Shake
speare" edited by Dr. Margery

It will be of interest to all who

Sunday, August 18. 1957
ten years. I think Bill has made
a real fine man out of himself.
Maybe because of the city liv
ing or the lack of any family
responsibiltiies, , he's h a d a
chance to educate himself. My
wife is afraid he's making me
dissatisfied with the way we
live and maybe he is.
The Council ' Genevieve is
unable to point out anything
specific to back up her feeling
that Bill is in some way harm
ing her home. In view of the
fact her husband is deriving
pleasure and benefit from his
brother's visit, her demand that
Bill leave is unkind and unrea
sonable. Of course, if the "visit"
became one of those intermin
able ones, she would have a
right to complain.
Genevieve's unhappiness about
having Bill around seems to be
caused more by dissatisfaction
with herself than anything else.
She fears the outside eye upon
her because she believes she has
fallen into slovenly habits as
far as her appearance and home
management are concerned.
It would be profitable for
Genevieve to try to take a good
look at herself and her home
with an eye toward improve
ment. She should not hold up a
ridiculously high standard, but
merely try to make some defin
ite improvements that seem
within range of her present abil
ity. No matter how small they
are, these improvements will
do wonders for her morale. She
will probably begin to feel that
Bill is not as critical as she be
lieves. Victor, too, feels dissatisfac
tion when he compares himself
with his brother. He would do
well to consider what he can do
to improve himself, even with
"family responsibilities." Read
ing, an evening course, or a cor
respondence course may bring
him much pleasure and satis
faction. Bill has done a good deal for
this couple by helping them
gain some perspective on them
selves. They should realize, how
ever, that the smooth surface he
presents to them tells very little
about his personal life or inner
feelings. He undoubtedly has to
contend with his own areas of
frustration and dissatisfaction.
