“EVERY PLACE I LOOK 1 see work.” Harry Dipple, proprietor of the Ga-Bell Antique shop wasn't kidding either. To the man or woman who enjoys tinkering and fixing, even a casual look around SIGN. New Jersey st. would produce convulsions of Fortunately for me I just like to waich pther people work so there weren't any convulsions. Mr. Dipple was finishing putting together the top of a rare Italian compote. The intricate pattern had been smashed into about 20 pieces. Some of the smaller chunks were missing which made restoration a little tougher, Mr. Dipple said. “After I cement the pieces together the top has to be polished, glazed and the color matched,” said the soft-spoken craftsman.
Mrs. Dipple Helps MRS. DIPPLE matches the colors on china and glasswork, Just then she was packing a mother-of-pearl fan for a customer in Spencer, Ind. The fan had been completely rebuilt. In the near future a girl will carry the fan to the altar on her wedding day, just as her grandmother and mother had done. “There sure is a lot of sentiment behind some of this stuff, tsn't there?” ° Mr. and Mrs. Dipple told of customers who came to their shop on the verge of hysteria wanting to know if a particular heirloom could be restored. “And you probably wouldn't give .a dime for some

But ft|¥ wasn't long before the living room was full. Then a spare bedroom. Mr. Dipple sighed and said, “Today as you can see, every room in the house and the addition in the back is loaded.” While ‘the compote top dried, Mr. Dipple began to prepare a broken platter. Three small notches were cut in the broken piece and the platter itself. Into the notches would go small perforated pieces of steel and cement. Finally, the piece would be polished, colored and glazed. gu “Time and time and more time is what we need/§ for this: sort of work,” Mr. Dipple said. 1 believed| him. Rebuilding a frail plater is not like patching the side of a fence. Just watching the meticulous way in which Mr, Dipple worked made me nervous. Looking at the countless’ tiny tools, brushes, bottles, cans and spare little gadgets prompted me to ask if he knew what all that stuff was used for. Mr. Dipple almost dropped the platter. Mrs. Dipple broke out in smiles. They know even though some of the things will probably never be used again. As an example, Mr. Dipple cited an 18-inch drill’ he had to make to bore a quarter-inch hole through 38 a solid three-inch in diameter stem of any old kero- *g sene lamp. The customer wanted the heirloom converted into an electric lamp.

Postscript to War
NAPLES,
Italy, Aug. 25.—Bianca has 10,000 gisters. ‘ Many of them lived here, in Naples, as Bianca
did. Today they are scattered all over Italy—many in Rome, many in Florence, many in Leghorn and some in Trieste. Let's start at the beginning with Bianca. She was 16 years old when the American troops landed at Naples. Her papa was a minor businessman who made a fairly comfortable living. Her brother Pino had been training for the army before Italy quit the war, Her mama was a very strict mama, in the Italian sense, which is very strict indeed. For months after the troops came into Naples Bianca's mama kept her off the streets, because she was afraid of the big rough foreigners who smoked cigars and chewed gum and got noting drunk. Mama saw what a lot of the Neapolitan girls were doing with the troops, and she kept her eye always on Bianca. Things got very tough for papa; as prices shot up, and the lire became more and more worthless. Bianca's brother Pino got a job with the Americans, and Bianca wanted to work for them, too. But mama always said no, even though there was sometimes hunger in the apartment. But one day Pino brought a Yankee soldier home with him, He was different, Pino told mama in a hurry,” as her efes began to crackle. He was not Joud and ferocious like some of the others. He knew a little Italian and wanted to learn more, and he had been very kind to Pino. Some of the canned ration and the candy that Pino had been bringing home, recently . . . well, the Americano had been very kind.

THE G. L's name was Henry, and he was a tech sergeant. He came from someplace in the United States named South Carolina, and his voice was soft. He was red-headed, and he had dime-sized freckles. Henry didn't waste much time falling in love with Bianca. She had beautiful long legs and curly brown hair and green eyes to go with it. He kept coming back to the house, and finally he cornered papa
