Hicks, Jr. A country auction of household goods, held out of doors on a bright October day, is as entertaining as a country fair. The entire neighborhood turns out, and there is a holiday atmosphere suggestive of Ferris Wheels,’ Merry-go-rounds, and the classic shell game. As the auctioneer steams up and the bidding becomes wilder and more unrestrained, the resem- blance to the shell game grows stronger. Job lots of odds and ends are ranged coz the block, each desirable item coupled with something tasty in the way of junk, to insure com- plete disposal. It is the junk that you want to keep your eye upon. That three-legged iron kettle, for instance. It contains a heterogene- ous collection of this and that, in- cluding a glass jug that once had imitation vanilla, but the wise lady who bid in the whole business for seventy-five cents found herself un- expectedly the richer by a large pair of sewing shears and ‘three keen bladed kitchen knives. That . bidder picked the right shell, and there was a whole podful of peas under it. Bidding always gets off to a slow Start. Sound psychology suggests that if you can persuade the auc- tioneer to place the article of your desire on the block during the first five minutes of the sale, the price you will have to pay for it will be just about a third of the price it will bring after the temperature of the crowd rises, discretion is thrown to the winds, and bidding becomes brisk and businesslike, not ‘to say cut-throat. I had my eye on three articles. There were two jugs that would have padded out my collection ad- mirably, one a vinegar jug in a soft tone of biege with blue strip- ings, the other a squatty gray affair with blurred blue decorations. The third item was a wooden washtub. The first jug went for ten cents, being knocked down to a dealer at the first peep, with no chance for further bidding. That was before I got my voice geared to the clamor. The second jug, the squatty gray one, rose steadily in price until it was gathered in by a dealer at a dollar-ten, just ten small cents be- yond my deadline. The washtub, twenty cents’ worth of it, is already decorated with Pennsylvania Dutch hearts and flowers, and is sitting under a newly painted pump in the front yard. A wicker rocker was hoisted to the block and knocked down for four dollars. A stout porch chair i caiy os ENTAL PL Koos ends messy, harmful brushing.

Then came the Boston rocker, and Herman Sands cleared this throat, casting a spec- ulative glance around at the ideal- ers. The dealers ‘whetted their clams, and I settled down to listen. It was a great surprise to me to hear a firm voice mention, “A dol- lar and a half,’ early in the bid- ding, and to realize that the voice was mine. If there is anything I don’t ‘need, it is another Boston rocker. The house is crawling with them, and the more dilapidated specimens have spilled over into the back yard. The auctioneer nodded affably in recognition, and the dealers went to town. I topped three more bids quite automatically, still in a daze and still with no in- tention of buying another Boston rocker. There was a lull in the bidding, and Herman brought down his hammer, “Sold,” he said, “to the lady with the short grey hair.” I looked around interestedly to identify the lady with the short grey hair, and the clerk poked a pad of paper un- der my nose. He wanted to know if I preferred to pay for the Boston rocker on the spot or after the sale was over. When I had added the wooden washtub to the growing pile of loot, I began ‘to suffer misgivings. Bidding is highly exhilarating, but transportation is something else. Home, fortunately, was a scant quarter of a mile down the road. I could roll the tub, but if I had to balance the Boston rocker on my head. while keeping ‘the tub pro- gressing in a straight line, there might, I felt, be complications. I began to think that I should have stuck to small handpaited pin- trays, something which would sat- isfy that gambling instict but still present no problems of drayage and haulage, items which could be read- ily disposed about the person or in the coat pocket. A neighbor came to the rescue with her station wagon. She said that it would be not only undigni- fied but actually dangerous to bal- ance a Boston rocker on the head and kick a tub down the road. The tub might take the bit in its teeth and roll under a car. She left me on my own front lawn, surrounded by my spoils, and drove off in tri- iron kettle. The Boston rocker, denuded of its back-pad, proved to have narrow splats instead of ordinary spindles. We are feeling pretty smug about the whole thing. Dealers please note.
