Antiquing
‘Joel Sater
Antiquing in England is an
unforgettable experience. Of all
the many cultures our nation
~ has been exposed to, products,
. crafts and designs of English
origin have had the greatest in-
fluence on American Antiques.
English craftsmen, artisans
and designers made or inspired
many if not most of the antiques
~ collected in this country today.
English antiques always bring
substan®@l prices at American
auctions’ and a good many
American shops even prefer to
specialize in furniture, silver,
china and art objects from the
British Isles.
Many of my readers have
asked me, “Where do I go anti-
quing in England when I get
there?” I have just returned
from England where I spent
time collecting materials for
this column and for a book I'm
writing. At. the same time I
completed details for a series of
completely planned antiquing
tours to dozens of quaint, excit-
ing and out of the way places
where agtiques can be found.
PeopleYwho love to hunt for
fi antiques want to go to places not
: usually, scheduled on typical
' sightsedt®g tours. In a strange
country it is important to get to
these placed efficiently without
wasting precious time. All de-
g tails of travel, lodging and
eating should be carefully
worked out to provide the
pt “antiquer’’ with the largest
possible range of interesting
antiquing sports to visit and
p also good sightseeing and en-
tertainment and dining during.
free time and evenings.
On my trip I visited hundreds
of possible antique hunting
grounds. From them I chose the
ones I feel you will enjoy and
profit from the most. I chose
largely the places ‘‘off the
| beaten path,” the places where
you are most likely to buy an-
tiques at the ‘best’ prices. Un-
usual, gexciting, little’ "known

A Mr. and Mrs. William Hamer-

birth of a son, Mark William, at
the General Hospital June 28.
Mrs. Hamersky is the former

Ethel Engelman, and the late
William Engelman. This is the
couple’s first child.
i “Antiquing Is The Best Way To ‘Sightsee’England”
with open air dealer stalls, side-
walk fairs, wayside shops in’
charming little lanes and sham-
bles. I ‘dug out” places in the
cities and in the colorful English
countryside.
Since the Antiquing Areas
offer the best things to see in
England, we’ll sightsee too,
with plenty of time allowed for
visiting, hunting and browsing.
Everything, on my antiquing
tours, is planned to move
leisurely with no waste motion.
“I have also made complete ar-
rangements to handle all details
for shipping your antique pur-
chases home.
Some of the places we’ll visit
are absolutely fascinating like
The Camden Passage Antique
Center, a village with over fifty
antique shops, The Five Centur-
ies Antique Fair in Soho with its
great ‘‘treasure cellar.” We'll
take in dozens of flea markets,
antique shows and shops and
we’ll attend the smaller auec-
tions where prices are within
reasonable budgets. We’ll spend
a day or so at Brighton, the
famous English resort town and
we'll cover the Pantiles and
antiques shops at Tunbridge
Wells.
I've scheduled trips of both
two and three week duration so
as to fit anyone’s time schedule.
Antiquing is the greatest way to
sightsee England. Antiques
buffs and collectors should find
my way of seeing England a
unique experience to treasure
for a lifetime and if you're an
antiques dealer your trip can be
virtually cost free.
I'll soon be writing more
columns about antiquing in
England but meanwhile if you'd
like a fully detailed brochure to
consider going along on one of
my English antiquing tours just
send me your name and addres.

Aquarius Festival
tagged a success
Although rain clouds threa-
tened to bring the annual June
Festival sponsored by the Wo-
men’s Auxiliary of Nesbitt Hos-
pital to an abrupt halt June 19,
the strains of “let the sun shine
in”’ which sounded throughout
the temporary fair grounds pre-
vailed there were no cloud-
bursts to ruin the day.
Mrs. Fred Eck, president of
the Auxiliary’s board of direc-
tors, and a resident of Shaver-
town, reports that proceeds
from the fair totalled more than
$6,000. These funds will go
toward satisfying a $50,000
pledge made by the Women’s
Auxiliary for the hospital’s buil-
ding drive.
Two of the Auxiliary’s eight
branches are comprised of
Back Mountain women and con-
tributed significantly to the
festival’s success. The Country
Store and sewing booth were
staffed by the members of the
year of research for his PH.D.
at Cambridge University, Cam-
bridge, England. He was form-
erly managing editor of The
Dallas Post.
The wedding is planned for &

The Shavertown branch of the

goods booth and sold African
yard goods. Chaired by Mrs.
Charles Perkins and co-chair-
man Mrs. James Malkames,
the two stands netted over $530.
The festival is not really over
yet, reports Mrs. Eck. Because
the customary chicken bar-
becue was not held this year for
lack of space, the president of
the board stated, a salad lun-
cheon will be held instead on
Oct. 7 at the United Methodist
Church in Kingston.
Exquisite African fabrics such as the material shown here by
Mrs. Charles Perkins, chairman of the booths staffed by the
Shavertown branch of the Women’s Auxiliary, were popular
items at the day-long festival.

special at Burkes’
1s Chicken Divan
A special dish often served at
the Burke home on Gordon
Avenue, Dallas, is Chicken
Divan. Dolores Burke’s recipe
will be a favorite with any
hostess who likes to prepare a
company meal early in the day
and just pop it in the oven when
the guests arrive. Actually,
Dolores says she often prefers
to simmer the chicken the day
prior to a dinner party and bone
the chicken after it has been
refrigerated overnight.
Ed Burke, an accounting
manager for General Foods and
Maxwell House Coffee, and
Dolores are both originally
from Syracuse and lived for
several years in Natick, Mass.
before moving here. They en-
tertain many out-of-town guests
in their charming colonial home
in Old Goss Manor and Chicken
Divan is often the choice for the
main meal.
The five Burke children, Beth
19; Patti 16; Michael 14; Steven
11; and Christopher 9; often
invite friends for dinner, and
Chicken Divan is also a favorite
with their guests. A tossed salad
and French bread complement
the chicken and an excellent
dessert to serve with it is straw-
berry souffle. Dolores points out
that she puts the dessert in the
oven a few minutes before
serving the main course.
Chicken Divan
2 boxes frozen broccolli spears
2 frying chickens, cut up
salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp. flour
4 tbsp. butter
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, cut up
3 c. chicken broth
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 tbsp. sherry
1/3 C. Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp. light cream
Simmer chicken covered with
water in a large kettle with
onions, celery, salt and pepper
for an hour and a half. Remove
chicken and cool. Reserve three
cups of the broth. Skin chicken
and remove good size pieces
from the bones. Melt butter in
double boiler and blend in flour.
Slowly add chicken broth and
simmer, stirring
thickened. Add mustard, salt,
pepper and cheese. Remove
from heat and stir in cream and
sherry. (chef’s trick) Add a tiny
drop of yellow food coloring to
make sauce richer looking.
Cook broccolli and drain,
arrange in casserole with slices
of chicken on top. Pour sauce
over all and place in 350 oven for
30 minutes or until brown and
bubbly. If not ready to serve
lower oven temperature and
‘hold up to one additional half
hour.
